What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), Guy Fieri visited Chichen Itza for the episode "Mex to the Max," which aired 2017-08-14, sampling traditional Yucatecan dishes representing the cuisine of southeastern Mexico. According to Discover Los Angeles, the restaurant is family-owned and operated, making its own corn tortillas inside Mercado la Paloma, a community market hall in South Los Angeles that houses several small, independent food vendors. The restaurant's presence inside that market has become one of its defining features, according to the same source. A Yelp listing updated in August 2026 recorded 2,370 photos and 1,552 reviews for the restaurant at 3655 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90007, and the restaurant's own website, chichenitzarestaurant.com, listed a current menu along with delivery, pickup, and patio dining options at the same address.
