What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Irazu for the 'Latin Street Food' episode, aired 2011-10-10, spotlighting the restaurant's Costa Rican menu and casual, family-run dining room. Irazu Costa Rican Restaurant & Catering operates at 1865 N Milwaukee Ave in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. The business's own website, irazuchicago.com, showed 2026-dated content at the time of this check, along with an online ordering system, private dining and catering pages, and posted dine-in and pickup hours. No third-party 2026 review or news coverage was consulted beyond the business's own site.
No indication of closure, relocation, or change of ownership was found in the material reviewed. The restaurant's listed hours included dine-in service Tuesday through Saturday and pickup and delivery service on an overlapping schedule, both details consistent with active, ongoing operation under the name featured on the original episode.
