High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Apr 25, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor”, which has been cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which El Punto De La Chama Restaurant & Bar's 50 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
