Latin & Caribbean places in Chicago: inspection grades

The web version of Chicago Restaurants: Ranked lists 138 Chicago places under Latin & Caribbean (not counting airports, stadiums, cafeterias and other non-restaurants). 138 have our grade: 31 A, 58 B, 32 C, 14 D, 3 F.

Our 0–100 score and A–F grade, calculated from City of Chicago inspection records since January 2023. Not official City grades: the City reports Pass, Pass w/ Conditions or Fail. An inspection describes conditions on the day of the visit.

City records through . About once a week we rebuild the data from the City’s newest public records, and these pages with it. Source: City of Chicago Food Inspections on the Chicago Data Portal. Cuisine groups are the app’s own: each place is filed under one, from its name, its City records and Overture Maps listings. Each place’s page in the web version links to its own City inspection records.

Places, best inspection score first

Our grades from City inspection records, not official City grades. The order is the web version’s for this cuisine: highest score first, ties by name, places without a score last.
