What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's 'All Wrapped Up' episode featured El Sancho Loco Taqueria, a taqueria in Newbury Park, California known for shrimp and fried-fish tacos alongside classic carne options. The restaurant also serves burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, and offers elote, plantains, and made-to-order chips and salsa, according to its own website. Tripadvisor ranked El Sancho Loco 18th of 67 restaurants in Newbury Park with a 4.4-of-5 rating, and a NetWaiter-hosted page listed current hours of 10 AM-8:50 PM Monday and 10 AM-9 PM Tuesday through Thursday. An automated site check on 2026-09-08 returned an HTTP 403 response from the restaurant's own site, but a web search the same day found the site indexed and live at the same Michael Drive address in Newbury Park, in Ventura County.
