Inspection records are published by the Chicago Department of Public Health. A failed inspection does not necessarily mean an establishment closed — most are re-inspected after correcting violations.

Taqueria El Ranchito — questions

Did Taqueria El Ranchito pass its last health inspection?
Taqueria El Ranchito at 2829 N Milwaukee Ave was inspected on May 20, 2026 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "Pass". Across 60 inspections on record it has failed 18 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.
