El Rinconcito Express in Cutler Bay
20245 Franjo Rd, Cutler Bay, FL 33189El Rinconcito Express in Cutler Bay has been inspected twice on record, most recently on September 22, 2025, when 6 violations were cited. Both inspections documented systemic employee health and sanitation management failures. The September 2025 inspection found the person in charge unable to correctly answer questions about preventing foodborne illness transmission from sick employees, no employee health policy in place, no written procedures for vomit or diarrhea response events, no probe thermometer available to measure food temperatures, and a portable cooler blocking access to the handwashing sink (removed during inspection). The September 2023 inspection similarly identified missing employee health protocols, absent written procedures for illness response, no sanitizer test kit, and no hand towels in the restroom. A stop-use order issued in 2023 for failure to install a three-compartment sink for utensil washing remained in effect as of the 2023 inspection, with all open food processing prohibited until the sink was installed. The establishment's recent record shows no progress on foundational food safety management systems that have been documented as deficient across both inspections.
