Question 1

Did Paleteria Azteca #2 pass its last health inspection?

Accepted Answer

Paleteria Azteca #2 at 3119 W Cermak Rd was inspected on Sep 18, 2025 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "Pass". Across 12 inspections on record it has failed 2 times.

Question 2

What does "Risk 3 (Low)" mean?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Where does this inspection data come from?

Accepted Answer

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.
