Latinos Y Mas Rest in Ocala
Last inspected:
2030 S Pine Ave, Ocala, FL 34471LATINOS Y MAS REST in Ocala operates as a permanent 150-seat food service establishment and has compiled a troubling compliance record across 30 inspections since 2016. The facility has recorded 223 total violations, averaging 7.4 per inspection—more than 40 percent above Florida's statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations dominate the record: management awareness failures, improper chemical storage, approved food source violations, shell stock requirements breaches, food contact surface contamination, hand-washing violations, and improper cooking temperatures have all been documented repeatedly. Notably, hand-washing and chemical storage violations appeared in at least 4 inspections over the past two years alone, indicating a failure to sustain corrections.
The facility's most recent inspection on February 11, 2026 identified 39 violations including four high-priority findings (management awareness, approved food source, shell stock requirements, and food contact surfaces), prompting an administrative complaint recommendation. Two days prior, on February 6, 2026, an inspection found 42 violations with three high-priority violations and again resulted in an administrative complaint recommendation. This pattern of citations immediately after prior violations are supposed to be corrected—a callback inspection on October 7, 2025 showed zero violations, yet the very next day brought 42 violations on October 6, 2025—suggests either systemic training failures or rapid deterioration in operational controls. The facility has never been emergency-closed but faces formal administrative proceedings based on inspector findings.
