Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Chicanito has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. On Apr 25, 2024, 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 four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Bronx restaurant scores 77. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
