Failing Health Score
How is this score calculated? →TACO MIENDO ST PETE in ST PETERSBURG currently holds an InspectFL Health Score of 0 out of 100 — an F grade — a serious pattern of repeat or critical violations.

Across those visits, inspectors documented 220 total violations — 46 critical, 44 major, 130 minor.
What’s powering this page
InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When imported inspector observations are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •Imported DBPR observations appear directly inside inspection entries when available.
- •When note coverage is missing, the official violation record still stays visible.
See the place, then share or verify
*Scores are calculated by InspectFL based on public DBPR inspection data and are not official state ratings.
Inspection History
Read the newest inspection first, then scan for patterns. Repeated high-priority findings matter more than one isolated bad day.
Inspector notes are being added across all restaurants. Some inspections may only show violation codes until notes are available.
