What happened after Food Paradise?

This episode ('All in the Family') featured Guelaguetza Restaurante's Oaxacan cuisine, including its well-known lineup of traditional mole sauces. According to Guelaguetza's Wikipedia entry, the restaurant was founded in 1994 by Fernando Lopez Sr. after he emigrated from Oaxaca, Mexico, and it moved to its current location on West Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles's Koreatown in 2000. The James Beard Foundation named Guelaguetza a recipient of its America's Classics award in 2015, according to the same entry, recognizing its role in the city's Oaxacan community. This is logged as a secondary appearance because the show has featured the restaurant in an earlier episode already in the database.

Food Paradise's 2013 'Mexican Food Paradise' episode (Season 4, Episode 20) featured Guelaguetza, an Oaxacan restaurant in Los Angeles built around its selection of traditional mole sauces and micheladas, according to its own website. The restaurant operates on West Olympic Boulevard and also ships its moles and other Oaxacan pantry items nationwide, according to the same site. Guelaguetza's website, checked September 8, 2026, carried a 2026 copyright notice and listed current hours of 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays, with an active online ordering system, according to ilovemole.com. The site also promoted free shipping on orders over $75 within the continental U.S. and sold its moles and other pantry items through an online shop, according to the same site.
