Overview

Fresco Y Mas #235 in Miami has been inspected twice since January 2022, with 10 violations total — all corrected during inspections. The facility's most recent inspection on January 20, 2026 identified five violations in the deli department: heavy dried-on milk on a steam wand used continuously without cleaning, multiple hot-held items measured below the required 135°F (fish at 115–120°F and pork at 119–125°F), and pastries lacking time labels for time-as-public-health-control storage. All items were corrected on site. A January 2026 follow-up inspection documented five additional violations, including raw pork shoulder stored directly above fully cooked plantains in the walk-in cooler — a cross-contamination hazard that was immediately corrected. All violations across both inspections were marked corrected on site.
