Low Risk Grade: A

Arco appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2024. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 22, 2026. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

Across the inspection history, “cleaning, frequency and restrictions” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Phoenix restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
