We are talking about one Asian, one Brunch, one Latin American, and one Pizza place getting slapped with these violations. Mejor no comas allí.
Worst Offenders — enforcement tiers + chronic violations
200 records this window
Active enforcement targets: restaurants carrying EOR history, chronic violation patterns, or cross-flag RENAME/PEST/RL4 enforcement tiers.
Ay bendito — this mess in Miami-Dade County where 200 places are on that chronic list for failing again and again. PEKING ONE in Miami is at the top of the heap, with BAHAMAS FISH MARKET AND RESTAURANT #2 LLC in Miami and UPTOWN BUFFET in Miami right there beside them after their routine inspections. These people have no sechel, just repeat patterns of mishegoss that stay steady since the last public cut. Mejor no comas allí.

Red Alert — Emergency Orders
36 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Mija, ven acá un segundo — no shame. TACOLOGY in Miami, OCEAN 5 CAFE in Miami Beach and CMX BRICKELL STONE SPORTS BAR in Miami were the worst of the bunch in Miami-Dade County. Better to eat a cracker at home than go there, qué barbaridad, mamala. Oy gevalt, qué desastre, inspectors ordered 36 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window. The DBPR ordered those kitchens closed on the spot because of the schmutz. This is a real emergency, mija — faster than any paperwork or license cancellation. Mejor no comas allí. Mira lo que te digo, this Red Alert group has 1 Argentine, 1 Cafe, 1 Sports Bar, and 1 Tacos. The volume of these emergency orders is steady compared to the last public cut. I tell you, mija — feh.

Ay, mein bubbeleh — historical bad actors surfacing in Miami-Dade County on the 11-year pattern view, led by CARIBBEAN KITCHEN 305 and ALEGRIA BY EL RANCHERITO. Such mishegoss, to keep making the same mistakes for years, nu? I tell you, mija — feh.

Most Improved — sustained 12-month turnaround
3 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
Por Dios y la Santísima — Miami Beach, EAT MY WAY MIAMI in North Miami and MIAMI SQUEEZE in North Miami Beach drew the loudest scorecard in Miami-Dade County. Such mishegoss in a kitchen, oy, it makes my head spin. Mejor no comas allí. Oy, mein kind, 3 restaurants actually met the sustained-improvement test with at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more and an active license. MAGNA SUSHI in Miami Beach dropped those HP+Critical counts from 5 to 1 across the two 12-month windows, which is 80.0% better. I tell you, mija — feh, it took them long enough to clean up that schmutz.

Closures — what just stopped operating
116 records this window
The closed-door file: confirmed shutdowns, owner-validated closure posts, DBPR status signals, and external places data that say service has stopped.
A shanda und a charpa — EMILIO'S TRATTORIA in Bay Harbor Islands and RESTAURANT EL TROVADOR #2 in Homestead are the ones making a mess of things in Miami-Dade County. Oy, 116 restaurants have these closure signals because they have an inactive license, a dissolved corp, a silent inspector, or a third-party verifier saying they are gone in this 90-day window. Feh, it is a shanda to see 7 bars, 5 cafes, 5 pizza spots and 4 American spots on this list. Nu, there are 102 standalone restaurants and 14 chain locations in the mix. Mira lo que te digo, these signals are steady compared to the last public cut, but we must be careful because not all are confirmed permanent closures. Only a Closure Score 4/4 is third-party verified, while the lower scores are just likely, probable or DBPR-flagged-inactive. Mejor no comas allí.

DBPR ownership-change records — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Mira lo que te digo, mija, JOJO'S NY STYLE PIZZA in Miami, COURTYARD CAFE in Kendall and MIAMI SHORES GOLF CLUB in Miami Shores were the ones inspectors noticed most in Miami-Dade County. Oy, 39 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. Nu? This volume is even with the last report, just more mishegoss with different names. These are only operator turnovers, a new owner-of-record on an existing license, not closures, cancellations, or revocations, but I tell you, mija — feh.

Some of these names include MO'S BAGELS & DELI in Aventura, H&H BAGELS in Pinecrest and CARACAS BAKERY in Miami. I hope they know how to cook, because comer es vivir, but not LIKE THAT.

Clean Plates — Spotless This Quarter
112 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Oy, mein kind, mein kind — know how to clean a kitchen without being told twice. In Miami-Dade County, 112 licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections, including SUSHI SAKE HOMESTEAD in Homestead, REFUEL / WXYZ LOUNGE in Miami, and YOYOSO WYNWOOD in Miami. These aren't just some lucky breaks, nu, these are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations for the operators who actually have some sechel. SUSHI SAKE HOMESTEAD in Homestead even stretched a high-priority-free run to 6 inspections covering roughly 1.5 years. I tell you, mija — feh, it is a miracle someone remembers the soap.

Near Miss — High-Priority Citations
275 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Mira, hijita, MOON THAI & JAPANESE in Miami, BRISAS BISTRO RESTAURANT in Miami and B AND B BISTRO/BAKERY in Bal Harbour drew the loudest scorecard in Miami-Dade County. 275 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window, though none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure, oy, just a near-miss watch list. These restaurants drew inspector attention but stayed open, so they better hope for no more mishegoss during a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and BAS, and I tell you, mija — feh.
