Overview

La Reyna Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Cooper City has been emergency-closed once, on June 15, 2021, for fly activity. Across 24 inspections spanning from 2016 to February 2026, the facility accumulated 128 violations, averaging 5.3 violations per inspection—slightly above the Florida statewide average of 5.2.

The facility received one disciplinary action totaling $400 in fines. The most recent inspection on February 13, 2026 documented 24 violations including three high-priority findings (management awareness, shell stock requirements, and time as control) and was completed with no further action, though an August 2025 inspection that triggered a warning for 18 violations and a March 2025 inspection recommending an administrative complaint suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
