Bronx, NY — Eduar2 Taco & Pizza, located at 4235 Katonah Ave in the Bronx, received a Grade B following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection conducted on March 25, 2026. The restaurant earned a score of 23, placing it near the upper boundary of the B range and within five points of the Grade C threshold.

The inspection data was released publicly by DOHMH on April 1, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented one non-critical violation during the March inspection. The cited violation, classified under Code 10G, involved deficiencies in the cleaning and sanitizing of tableware, including dishes, utensils, and equipment used in the dishwashing and ware washing process.

While no critical violations were recorded during this visit, a score of 23 reflects a meaningful accumulation of penalty points. A single additional violation — or a more serious finding — could push the restaurant into Grade C territory on a subsequent inspection.

Food Safety Context

Proper cleaning and sanitization of food-contact surfaces and utensils is a foundational requirement under NYC Health Code Article 81 and the FDA Food Code. Inadequate ware washing procedures can allow pathogens to persist on dishes and utensils, creating a potential pathway for cross-contamination and foodborne illness.

NYC restaurants are required to maintain effective sanitizing concentrations in dishwashing equipment, use properly calibrated temperature settings for high-temperature machines, and ensure all tableware is free of food debris before sanitization. Inspectors assess compliance with these standards during unannounced visits.

DOHMH inspections are conducted by trained environmental health inspectors who evaluate food handling, temperature control, pest activity, facility condition, and sanitation practices. Scores are calculated based on the number and severity of violations observed.

Inspection History

The March 2026 inspection was not the first time Eduar2 Taco & Pizza received a notable score. The restaurant's recent inspection history includes:

  • December 8, 2025: Score 25 (Grade N)

A Grade N designation indicates the restaurant was in its initial inspection cycle at that time, meaning a letter grade was not yet issued. A score of 25 at that visit was consistent with the pattern seen in the most recent inspection. The restaurant has now scored 23 and 25 on consecutive inspections, both in the upper portion of the B range.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City's letter grade system is based on the total score a restaurant receives during inspection. Lower scores reflect fewer or less severe violations. The grading scale is as follows:

  • A: Score of 0 to 13 points
  • B: Score of 14 to 27 points
  • C: Score of 28 points or higher

A score of 23 falls within the B grade range but leaves limited margin before a restaurant would be assigned a C grade. Establishments that receive a B or C may request a re-inspection, at which point a letter grade is issued based on the follow-up result.
