Score
Medium Risk

Atx Bodega appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2020. The most recent visit was on Oct 3, 2022. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 3, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around eight violations to closer to 10 violations.

Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
