La Valentina

La Valentina currently holds a D+ grade and scores better than only 22 percent of comparable restaurants, placing it in the lower tier of its category. The facility showed a dramatic spike in high-risk violations in June 2025, including bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods, improper cold holding, and lack of manager certification, which triggered a mandatory follow-up inspection. While that follow-up visit in July 2025 showed a clean slate with zero violations, the trend reversed in October 2025 when new high-risk violations appeared involving egg handling and missing operational plans alongside returning issues with labeling and equipment sanitation. The facility is currently labeled as improving, but the pattern suggests ongoing struggles with operational fundamentals rather than sustained correction.
