Taqueria El Rinconsito currently holds a D grade and scores worse than 97 percent of similar restaurants in Clark County, placing it in the lowest tier of food service facilities. The facility has shown a volatile pattern marked by temperature control failures that recur across multiple inspections: improper cold holding appeared in April 2023, again in March 2025, and most recently in February 2026, while improper hot holding emerged for the first time in the February 2026 inspection. After achieving a clean inspection in March 2024 and passing a mandatory follow-up in April 2025, the facility deteriorated sharply in March 2025 with a major violation triggering a required return visit, and performance has not stabilized since, with the most recent February 2026 inspection revealing ongoing temperature control problems across both hot and cold food storage.
