Tropico in Clearwater
Last inspected:
301 Gulf View Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767Tropico in Clearwater has been inspected 27 times since 2016, accumulating 65 violations at an average of 2.4 per inspection, well below the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has not experienced emergency closures. High-priority violations have been infrequent, appearing in only 4 inspections over the record period. A recurring concern involves fire safety: the facility has lacked current insurance inspector boiler reports or boiler certificates across three separate inspections in 2024, 2025, and 2026, citations that require corrective action but fall outside food safety jurisdiction. Recent complaint-based inspections in March 2025 documented high-priority violations including shell stock requirements, correct procedures, and no contamination; most of these were resolved within compliance extensions or warnings. The most recent routine inspection on March 6, 2026 identified 9 violations including 1 intermediate and 2 basic violations and was completed with no further action required.
