El Chile Restaurant & Pancake House — questions

Did El Chile Restaurant & Pancake House pass its last health inspection?
El Chile Restaurant & Pancake House at 3038-3040 W Montrose Ave was inspected on Nov 20, 2025 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "Out of Business". Across 34 inspections on record it has failed 10 times.
What does "Risk 1 (High)" mean?
Chicago assigns every food establishment a risk category based on how much food handling it does. Risk 1 (High) covers full-service restaurants and is inspected most often; Risk 2 (Medium) and Risk 3 (Low) — such as places serving only pre-packaged food — are inspected less frequently.
Where does this inspection data come from?
The City of Chicago publishes every food-establishment inspection it performs, including the result and the full text of any violations cited. This page reads that dataset directly and updates as the city posts new inspections.
