Score

Low Risk

El Rebozo appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jun 14, 2011. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The most recent inspection at El Rebozo is from Jun 14, 2011, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “toilet room doors self closing”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
