Salty Lime Cantina in Palm Harbor
Last inspected:
1019 Florida Ave, Palm Harbor, FL 34683Salty Lime Cantina in Palm Harbor has accumulated 95 violations across 21 inspections dating back several years, averaging 4.5 violations per inspection — slightly below the Florida statewide average of 5.2 but with a troubling concentration of high-priority violations. The facility has experienced no emergency closures. However, the inspection record shows escalating enforcement intensity in recent months, with six consecutive complaint-based inspections between June and November 2025, triggering two warning issuances and one recommendation for administrative complaint. High-priority violations have centered on chemical storage (cited in at least five recent inspections), employee health policy (multiple violations in November 2025), proper cooking temperatures (cited twice in October-November 2025), shell stock requirements for seafood (cited repeatedly in October 2025), and toxic substance control (cited in November 2025). A pattern of recurring chemical storage violations across inspections indicates a systemic management issue with hazardous material handling. The most recent inspection on November 4, 2025 documented 18 violations including high-priority issues with employee health policy, toxic substance control, time-temperature control, proper cooking temperatures, and food contact surfaces, and was completed with no further action required.
