High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Inspectors have visited Avocado four times, with records going back to 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 30, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Staten Island restaurant, which scores around 75. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
