11 Restaurants That Failed Health Inspection in Austin
In 2007, 11 Austin area restaurants scored 50 or less on their health inspection scores… thats a serious score..it means a temporary revocation of their license.. here’s the list of the guilty restaurants… notable mexi-joints include la merced, la terraza, and ninfa’s, which happens to be the chain of restaurant that introduced me to cheese enchiladas, rice and beans at a very young age, thus shaping me into the man whose words you’re reading today… ninfas in austin is the bastard stepchild of a houston dynasty.. and its time for it to be cut off from mom and dad.. its all about pride..but at least they make their own tortillas.
tacotown does not support these restaurants:
- china buffet
- madras pavillion
- wanfu
- sao paulo’s
- jack in the box on airport (indoor raw sewage leak)
- musashino! (cockroaches,dirty fingernails)
- china harbor
- la merced
- la terraza
- new oriental market on airport
- ninfa’s

ah gahd! ..after closer review, it appears that I have been to 5 of these places..
I went to china buffet a couple of years ago.. its one of those places you only eat at once..although, about the only thing worse than a bad chinese buffet is a bad mexican buffet!
I’ve been to the austin ninfa’s a couple of times, was disappointed at its failure to measure up to the houston locations..
musashino is a big surprise since its lauded as one of the best sushi spots in austin.. I’ve eaten there a couple times recently and its been great.. perhaps they got caught on a bad day..

Does anyone know why Ninfa’s failed? The report doesn’t say. They passed in every older (pre-2007) inspection I can find.
