Medium Risk

The health department has logged three inspections at Los Caminos De Michoacan, the earliest from 2016. Los Caminos De Michoacan was last inspected on Mar 28, 2017. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Public records show no inspections at Los Caminos De Michoacan since Mar 28, 2017, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around seven violations each, up from closer to four violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “premises maintained free of litter” has been the most frequent reason, cited three 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.
