Six Arlington restaurants score poorly during health inspections, data shows
Over the course of about two weeks, 158 Arlington restaurants underwent health inspections, with six scoring poorly and one being shut down.
Unlike Fort Worth inspections, which scores on a demerit system, with a perfect score being 0 and when a total exceeds a score of 30, restaurants must take immediate corrective action, Arlington operates on an opposite scale, with a score of 100 being perfect, and a score of 70 considered extremely poor.
Six Arlington restaurants scored less than 75 in the most recent inspections.
Mariscos Super Mix, located at 3503 E. Division St., was shut down on Dec. 7 after scoring a 72. It reopened two days later. Arlington’s inspection data does not list the specific violations.
