Public records show four inspections at Pescaderia Los Hermanos Erk 1,Inc stretching back to 2015. The most recent report on file is from Apr 25, 2017. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Pescaderia Los Hermanos Erk 1,Inc's record stops at Apr 25, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
