1478 Gulf to Bay Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33755Mega Burrito in Clearwater has accumulated 139 violations across 24 inspections since 2016, averaging 5.8 violations per inspection, slightly above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has not experienced emergency closures but faces a persistent pattern of handwashing infrastructure failures. In February 2025, an inspector documented that despite a 30-day directive to install a hand sink in the production area over a month prior, no installation had occurred; employees were observed performing multiple tasks without handwashing access, with the only existing hand sink located behind a manned prep table in a remote corner. Management was out of the country at the time of the visit. A follow-up inspection was pending as of the most recent check-back notice in December 2024, which required installation of a secondary hand sink and improvement in cleaning and employee practices within 14 days.
