Lomas Restaurant

3141 W 63Rd St, Chicago, IL 60629
Mexican / Latin
Last inspected: May 4, 2016

Score
Low Risk

Going back to 2014, Lomas Restaurant has four inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on May 4, 2016. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since May 4, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.

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 “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited three 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.
