Score
Poncitlan Jalisco No. 2 has been inspected five times since 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 25, 2014. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 25, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around seven violations per visit versus roughly five violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited five 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.
