Coyoacan Mexican Grill

3532 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Mexican / Latin
Last inspected: May 15, 2013
82
Score
Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on May 15, 2013. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since May 15, 2013, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly nine violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
