Mira lo que te digo, mein kind, inspectors found 112 recent high-priority hits across the county. We are talking about 2 bars, 1 Brunch, 1 Cafe, and 1 Pizza place with all this schmutz.

Emergency Orders

Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Mija, escuchame — ALLEY TAVERN in Lake Worth Beach, BRASS MONKEY SPORTS BAR AND GRILL in Lake Worth Beach and FLAME BBQ & SOULFOOD in Mangonia Park put the sharpest marks on the list for Palm Beach County. Such mishegoss, mija — 43 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window where DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. Mejor no comas allí. Mira, hijita, these are the most actionable signals because they happen faster than admin actions, license cancellation, or corporate dissolution. Vey, this volume of emergency orders is steady against the last public cut. I tell you, mija — feh.

Near Miss

Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Mija, ven acá un segundo — (THE) in Boca Raton, LA HACIENDA BAR AND RESTAURANT in Loxahatchee and KAPOW! NOODLE BAR in Boca Raton were the worst of this Palm Beach County mess. Inspectors found 112 high-priority citations in the 30-day window, but oy, none of them got an emergency order to shut down. These places are on a near-miss watch list because they drew inspector attention for HP and BAS violations but stayed open. Mejor no comas allí.

Closures

The closed-door file: confirmed shutdowns, owner-validated closure posts, DBPR status signals, and external places data that say service has stopped.
Por Dios y la Santísima — in Boca Raton, CITY CELLAR WINE BAR & GRILL in West Palm Beach and LPP CAFE BOCA in Boca Raton put the sharpest marks on the list for Palm Beach County. Qué schmutz! Better not eat there, mamala. Oy gevalt, qué desastre; 45 restaurants carry one or more defunct-indicator signals like a silent inspector, inactive license, dissolved corp, or third-party verifier confirmation in the 90-day public window. Across this closure-signal cohort, we have 4 fast-food spots, 3 hotels, 3 sandwich shops and 2 pizza spots. There are 35 standalone restaurants and 10 chain locations acting like mishegoss. Mira lo que te digo; the volume of these closure-signals is steady against the last public cut. Nu? These are just signals, not all confirmed permanent closures, because only a Closure Score 4/4 is third-party verified while lower scores are just likely, probable or DBPR-flagged-inactive. No tiene vergüenza, I tell you, mija — feh.

Off the Radar
177 records this window
Merged ghost + distressed licenses: active on paper but no DBPR inspection in 365+ days, or carrying administrative-lapse signals (status 45/46 grace, Sunbiz IFLAL, near-expiry).
A shanda und a charpa — Palm Beach County are off the radar this cycle. We have 5 DBPR-active licenses where no inspector visited in 365+ days, which is a total shanda under Florida statute 61C-1.002. Then you have 85 more with formal DBPR distress signals, like Status 45/46 or IFLAL and annual inspection gaps. Nu? Five of them are in both categories, what mishegoss. And let me tell you, mein kind, another 29 licenses were escalated to Closures because the confirmation signals were just too strong. Mejor no comas allí.

Oy, mein kind, 18 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. These are just operator turnovers where a new owner-of-record takes an existing license, not closures, cancellations, or revocations. Nu? No tiene vergüenza.

ELISABETTA'S/BAR CAPRI in West Palm Beach dropped HP+Critical counts from 9 to 1 across the two 12-month windows, which is 88.9% better. May they all wake up tomorrow with sechel.

Clean Plates
118 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Mira, hijita, I have to tell you that 118 Palm Beach County licensees kept their kitchens clean in Q2 2026 across multiple inspections. Sabor Latino in West Palm Beach, Star Mama LLC in West Palm Beach, and The Palm House in West Palm Beach are among them, and oy, it makes me kvell to see a kitchen without schmutz. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations, which means these operators have sechel and consistency, not just one lucky day with the inspector. Sabor Latino in West Palm Beach even stretched a high-priority-free run to 7 inspections covering roughly 1.8 years. Comer es vivir, but only when it is done right, mamala.
