What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
TVmaze's episode listing for 'Black Skirt; L'Avenue; El Camino's' (aired 2013-04-12) says host John Catucci explores Latin cuisine at El Camino's in Vancouver. Scout Magazine's column dated 2018-05-17 traced the 3250 Main Street address to an earlier Pan-American wine bar called Latitude, later taken over by the owners of what became the Cascade Company. In October 2026 the restaurant's own site (elcaminos.ca) described a casual neighbourhood cantina serving Mexican food with South American dishes such as empanadas, ceviche and chorrillana, listed hours of Tuesday to Thursday 4 to 10 p.m., Friday 3 to 11 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and carried pages for weekend brunch, happy hour and late-night service. Scout's venue page listed matching ownership and hours, and a Google Maps listing retrieved 2026-10-19 marks the business operational.
