Score
Inspectors have visited Fiesta Grill four times, with records going back to 2010. On Jun 17, 2011, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 17, 2011, so take the current picture with that in mind.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
