Rincon Catracho Restaurant
70/100 — Needs Improvement
Scores higher than 15 of 6,939 Austin-area facilities with a published score — under 1% of them. Citywide median current score: 93/100.
What a score of 70 means
Needs improvement. Inspections start at 100 and lose points for each violation the inspector writes up, so 70 means 30 points of violations were recorded on that visit. Below 80 is the lowest of the three bands this site groups Austin scores into — a minority of Austin inspections end here, and a result this low is the kind that tends to be followed by a re-inspection.
Scores higher than 15 of 6,939 Austin-area facilities with a published score — under 1% of them. Citywide median current score: 93/100. In ZIP 78741, it scores higher than 1 of 195 facilities with a published score (ZIP median: 92/100).
A score is a snapshot of a single visit on a single day. It measures compliance with food-safety rules — not food quality, service or how clean the place is today. Austin Public Health does not publish the individual violations behind a score, so this dataset cannot say what was found.

Inspections conducted by Austin Public Health
Health inspections are conducted by Austin Public Health to ensure restaurants maintain proper food safety standards. Scores are based on compliance with Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER) and assess factors including food temperature control, employee hygiene, facility cleanliness, and pest control. Regular inspections help protect public health by identifying and correcting violations before they can cause foodborne illness. Austin Public Health does not publish individual violation records alongside the score, so specific findings from a given visit are not part of this dataset.
