What the source shows: Yelp's listing for the original Fitzpatrick Street location is marked closed with a July 2026 update; the current operator's own site separately confirms the subsequent Stock Island location (a relocation of the same brand) has also closed, directing customers to a sister restaurant in Islamorada.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 19, Episode 6 Aired

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Badboy Burrito, a walk-up counter in Key West, Florida known for burritos and Mexican-inspired street food. The business has changed names and locations multiple times since its DDD appearance, moving through several Key West addresses over the years. A Yelp listing updated in March 2026 shows the business now operating as Bad Boy Taqueria & Tequila at 7011 Shrimp Road on Stock Island, offering a fuller bar and taqueria menu than the original burrito counter. A Florida Keys tourism business directory also lists the business under its new Bad Boy Taqueria & Tequila name. Because the business's naming and location history is complicated and sources conflict on some details, including a report describing a separate stint at The Perry Hotel & Marina, this record reflects the most recently dated listing found rather than a single confirmed timeline.

Man v. Food, Season 8, Episode 30 Aired

Bad Boy Burrito was a Mexican restaurant at 119 Fitzpatrick Street in Key West known for dishes like a ground Kobe beef burrito and Cayo Hueso fish tacos made with locally caught fish. The original listing gave only a Florida state abbreviation with no city; research identified the business as the original downtown Key West location. The business later relocated within Key West to the Perry Hotel & Marina on Stock Island, rebranding as Bad Boy Taqueria & Tequila, per the operator's own site. That Stock Island location has since closed as well, according to a 2025-copyrighted notice on the operator's current site, which tells customers "the Perry Hotel & Marina location of Bad Boy has closed" and directs them to a sister restaurant, Bad Boy Burrito, now operating in Islamorada under separate branding. Yelp's listing for the original Fitzpatrick Street address is separately marked closed, with a July 2026 update.
