What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Boteco in the "Southern to South American" episode, which aired March 8, 2019, spotlighting the food truck's Brazilian street food, including feijoada, pao de queijo, and coxinha. Boteco was a Brazilian food truck, running since 2011, parked at 1720 Barton Springs Rd in Austin, Texas, and had drawn attention for cooking a private birthday meal for Matthew McConaughey's wife. According to TripleDLife's restaurant tracker, Boteco is marked permanently closed, and Google Places lists the same address as permanently closed. Some third-party listing and review pages still display older hours and review counts for the truck, but no fresher dated source was found showing it currently operating, so those older listings do not change the status recorded here.
