A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record. Esquina Del Sabor Catrocho's record stops at Jul 5, 2018, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 16 violations per visit versus roughly six violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
