What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Not-Your-Everyday, All Day' (aired 2022-11-11), the show featured Antonio's The Taste of Mexico, a family-run Mexican restaurant that has operated on Taos, New Mexico's south side since 2017. According to the Taos News, in February 2026 co-owners Antonio and Sarah Matus opened a second location, Antonio's The Taste of Mexico North, in El Prado, in a space previously occupied by Shorty's Taqueria; the expansion involved Francois Bouyra, a French national with consumer-industry experience in Mexico. The original south-side restaurant, at 1379 Paseo del Pueblo Sur, continued operating alongside the new location. The business's own website, carrying a 2026 copyright, included a working online-ordering system when checked in September 2026, and Google Places listed a business under this name as operational the same month. No news coverage or listing changes describing a closure, rename, or relocation of the original restaurant were found.
