Bronx, NY — Sabrosura 2 Restaurant, a Chinese/Cuban establishment at 1806 Westchester Avenue, received a Grade B after scoring 27 points during a health inspection conducted on March 2, 2026. The score sits at the very top of the Grade B range, just one point below the 28-point threshold that would result in a Grade C.

The inspection data was released by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on March 4, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

During the inspection, one non-critical violation was documented. Inspectors cited the restaurant under violation code 08A, noting that the establishment was not free of harborage or conditions conducive to rodents, insects, or other pests.

While no critical violations were recorded during this visit, the single non-critical finding carried enough weight to push the restaurant's score to 27 points. Under New York City's scoring system, lower scores indicate better compliance, and the jump from the restaurant's previous scores represents a notable decline in inspection performance.

No enforcement actions such as closure were taken. The inspection resulted in violations being cited, with the restaurant permitted to continue operations.

Food Safety Context

NYC Health Code Article 81 requires food service establishments to maintain sanitary conditions that prevent pest harborage. The FDA Food Code similarly emphasizes that food establishments must be designed, constructed, and maintained to prevent the entry and nesting of pests.

Conditions conducive to pests — such as gaps in walls, improper waste storage, or accumulated debris — can create environments where rodents and insects establish themselves. While this violation was classified as non-critical, pest-related conditions are among the most commonly cited findings in New York City restaurant inspections and can escalate if not promptly addressed.

A score of 27 is significant within the Grade B range of 14 to 27 points. It represents the maximum number of points a restaurant can accumulate while still maintaining a B grade, placing Sabrosura 2 at the boundary of a Grade C designation.

Inspection History

The restaurant's prior inspection record shows a pattern of strong compliance before this most recent visit:

  • Mar 2, 2026: Score 27 (Grade B)
  • Sep 20, 2024: Score 13 (Grade A)
  • Mar 1, 2023: Score 11 (Grade A)
  • Oct 26, 2022: Score 29 (Grade C range)

The restaurant had maintained Grade A scores in its two most recent inspections prior to this visit. However, the current score of 27 represents a return to the range seen in October 2022, when the restaurant scored 29 points.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants based on inspection scores under the DOHMH grading system:

  • A: 0 to 13 points (best compliance)
  • B: 14 to 27 points (moderate violations)
  • C: 28 or more points (significant violations)

Lower scores reflect fewer and less severe violations. Restaurants that receive a B or C grade on an initial inspection may request a re-inspection for an opportunity to improve their score.

Consumers can look up any restaurant's inspection history through the DOHMH restaurant grades search portal or by checking the letter grade posted at the establishment's entrance, as required by city law.
