Score
The health department has logged 29 inspections at Latin American Rest & Lounge, the earliest from 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 20, 2018. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection. Latin American Rest & Lounge's record stops at Nov 20, 2018, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around nine violations per visit versus roughly six violations earlier in the record.
“Insects, rodents, & animals not present” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 19 times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
