The Hays County food inspectors scored five Buda and seven Kyle locations in February.
Four locations received an exemplary rating with zero demerits; Asadero Monterry (mobile) in Buda, Briana’s Kitchen in Kyle, Taqueria Briana’s (mobile) in Kyle and
Ilario’s Italian Cuisine in Kyle
One Buda restaurant, Palmar, received a below average rating with 17 demerits. In May 2012, the restaurant had 15 demerits.
McDonald’s of Buda received an above average rating with 6 demerits. In July 2012, that location received an average score with 10 demerits.
The PAC-N-SAC on Jack C. Hays Trail received an above average rating with 7 demerits. In July 2012, that location received an average score with 13 demerits.
Papa John’s Pizza in Buda also received an above average rating with 4 demerits. In July 2012, that location received 7 demerits.
Kyle had no locations with a below average rating.
About the scores:
Hays County does not score on a standard 0 to 100 scale but instead tabulates total demerits. If no violations are found, a score of 0 demerits is achieved. Therefore, a higher score indicates more demerits.
If an establishment receives more than 30 demerits, a re-inspection is required and corrections must be made to bring the total score below 30 in accordance with the Texas Food Establishment Rules (Chapter 229 of the Texas Administrative Code/Health Services).
Look for more inspection scores in the coming year as the county continues its work in the Kyle and Buda area.
