Low Risk

Public records show three inspections at La Rosita Bakery stretching back to 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 28, 2011. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. La Rosita Bakery's record stops at Sep 28, 2011, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to three violations per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “previous minor violation(s) corrected 7-42-090” has been the most frequent reason, 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.
