MIAMI, FL. Inspectors who visited Los Dos Amigos 2 Taqueria at 3235 NW 32 Ave on September 24 documented food not cooked to required minimum temperatures, toxic chemicals stored improperly near food, and parasite destruction procedures that were not being followed, all in a single visit. The restaurant was not closed.
The inspection produced six high-severity violations and two intermediate violations. Under Florida's inspection framework, high-severity violations are those most directly linked to foodborne illness and injury. Six in one visit is not a routine finding.
What Inspectors Found
The undercooking violation is the most direct threat to anyone who ate there. Salmonella in poultry survives below 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and the state's own health risk data identifies undercooking as a leading cause of foodborne illness.
Parasite destruction procedures were also not being followed. That violation applies to fish, pork, and wild game, where proper freezing or cooking temperatures are the only barrier between a customer and live parasites including Anisakis and Trichinella.
Toxic chemicals were found improperly stored or labeled, and a separate violation cited toxic substances improperly identified, stored, or used. Those are two distinct chemical-safety failures in the same kitchen, on the same day.
Inspectors also cited food contact surfaces that were not properly cleaned or sanitized, and improper handwashing technique. The handwashing violation is particularly significant alongside the others: even when an employee attempted to wash their hands, the technique left pathogens on their skin.
What These Violations Mean
Undercooking and parasite destruction failures are not paperwork problems. They are the conditions under which a customer can swallow a live parasite or ingest enough Salmonella to require hospitalization. Both violations were cited at Los Dos Amigos 2 Taqueria on September 24.
The two chemical violations compound the food-preparation failures. When toxic substances are stored near food without proper labeling or separation, the contamination risk is acute, not theoretical. A mislabeled chemical used on a food surface, or a container stored where it can drip or spill onto ingredients, can cause poisoning that has nothing to do with bacteria or parasites.
Improperly cleaned food contact surfaces are the mechanism by which bacteria move from one ingredient to another. Cutting boards, prep tables, and slicers that are not sanitized between uses transfer whatever was on the last item directly onto the next one. At a taqueria, where raw meat and ready-to-eat items share prep space, that pathway is especially short.
The handwashing technique violation closes the loop. Proper handwashing is the most basic intervention in a food-preparation environment. When the technique is wrong, every surface an employee touches after a handwashing attempt becomes a potential contamination point.
The Longer Record
September 24 was not an anomaly. State records show 29 inspections on file for this location and 244 total violations accumulated across that history.
The eight most recent inspections before September 24 tell a consistent story. In March 2025, inspectors cited eight high-severity violations and four intermediate violations in a single visit. In June 2024, the tally was six high-severity and five intermediate. In December 2023, it was six high-severity and five intermediate again.
The April 2026 inspections, conducted on the same date, produced four high-severity violations in one report and three high-severity in another. Five high-severity violations appeared in the August 2025 inspection. There is no inspection in the recent record that came back clean.
The facility has never been emergency-closed. Across 29 inspections and 244 violations, the state has not issued a closure order at this address.
The Pattern
What the record shows is not a restaurant that had a bad day in September. It is a restaurant that has produced high-severity violations in every documented inspection over at least three years, with counts ranging from one to eight high-severity violations per visit.
The September 24 inspection, with six high-severity violations, falls in the middle of that range. It is worse than the April 2026 visits and better than the March 2025 visit. By the standards of this location's own history, it is a typical inspection.
Two hundred and forty-four violations. Twenty-nine inspections. No emergency closures.
As of September 24, Los Dos Amigos 2 Taqueria remained open for business.
