Score
Tacontento appears in inspection records 14 times, starting in 2014. The most recent report on file is from Dec 15, 2022. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for Tacontento dates to Dec 15, 2022.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around nine violations to closer to six violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited nine times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Tacontento trails the local norm. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
