Score
Inspectors have visited Casa Del Sol five times, with records going back to 2018. The most recent report on file is from Feb 26, 2019. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Casa Del Sol's record stops at Feb 26, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around four violations compared to roughly 13 violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “management, food employee and conditional employee” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
