What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Tucson for the episode "Lights-Out Latin" (aired 2018-03-30), spotlighting Cafe Tumerico's vegan and vegetarian take on Latin American cooking. The restaurant serves plant-based dishes built on Latin heritage ingredients from a storefront on East 6th Street in Tucson. According to Tumerico's website (checked 2026-09-08), the business now goes by the shorter name Tumerico and lists a full weekly hours schedule, Tuesday through Sunday, along with the same 2526 E. 6th Street address and phone number shown in Google's business listing.

The site also points visitors to a sister location without naming it further. No newer ownership, closure, or relocation notice appears on the site or in Google's listing. The page's copyright line and other dated content had not been updated past 2019 when the site was checked on 2026-09-08.
