Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 19, 2019. 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 Feb 19, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around zero violations lately and about 10 violations before that.

When inspectors have written things up, “adequate handwashing sinks properly supplied and accessible” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Mayan Palace 2 is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
