What happened after Man v. Food?

In this segment, Casey Webb visited Boca Tacos y Tequila on Tucson's Fourth Avenue to try the Sonoran Taco Dog, a hybrid dish wrapping a bacon-style hot dog inside a taco with the restaurant's house toppings. The business was founded in 2009 by chef Maria Mazon, a Tucson native raised in Sonora, Mexico, who built the menu around Sonoran-style street food. Mazon has also appeared on Food Network's Chopped and Cooking Channel programming beyond this episode, according to her official biography on the restaurant's site. Since the 2019 broadcast, the restaurant has continued operating from the same Fourth Avenue address under the name BOCA by Chef Maria Mazon, according to the business's website and Yelp, which shows customer reviews dated as recently as August 2026. The rebrand keeps Mazon as executive chef-owner, with online ordering for pickup and delivery still active through the restaurant's Toast ordering page as of 2026.
