What happened after Food Paradise?

The "Burrito Paradise" episode (S5E7) featured El El Frijoles for its scratch-made Mexican menu at its Caterpillar Hill Road location on Maine's Blue Hill Peninsula. El El Frijoles is a small, from-scratch Mexican restaurant in Sargentville, Maine, that has a history of operating seasonally on the peninsula. Google Places lists the location's business status as temporarily closed. The restaurant's own website, last updated August 31, 2026, lists the location as "Closed for the Season," consistent with a seasonal schedule rather than a permanent shutdown. The site's menu, about, and contact pages remained live and current as of that update, with no indication of a sale or permanent closure. No dated source reports the restaurant has stopped operating altogether. Based on the business's recent seasonal notice and the temporarily-closed, not permanently-closed, Google Places status, El El Frijoles appears to remain an active, seasonally operating restaurant.
