Score
The health department has logged 32 inspections at Tac Quick, the earliest from 2010. On Mar 10, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around four violations compared to roughly eight violations earlier on.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 16 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Tac Quick is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
