Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Taqueria Los Azares 15 times, with records going back to 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 10, 2020. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Note that Taqueria Los Azares's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jan 10, 2020; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately compared to roughly three violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited eight times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
