Rincon Nica has been inspected eight times since 2022. The most recent report on file is from Nov 13, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near four violations per visit.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “establishment has no written procedures for employees”, showing up five times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Miami restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
