With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Mar 17, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around nine violations per visit versus roughly five violations earlier in the record.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor”, showing up two times.

Restaurants in Bronx average 77, so Mexican Grill trails the local norm. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
