90
Score
Quebradita has been inspected 20 times since 2010. On Nov 14, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 12 times.
Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Quebradita is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
