What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stopped by Jarocho in Kansas City, Kansas, for the 2019-08-23 episode "Loaded, Stuffed and Fried" (S30E11), showcasing the restaurant's Veracruz-style Mexican seafood, including stuffed and fried preparations typical of jarocho cuisine. Jarocho is a Mexican seafood restaurant on Kansas Avenue that also operates a companion concept, Sayachi Sushi, from the same building. Since the episode, the business has continued operating: its website, jarochokc.com, listed current hours (Thursday through Monday, with a monthly Sunday brunch) and an active online ordering system when checked on 2026-09-08, and promoted grilled stuffed oysters and gift cards redeemable at either the Jarocho or Sayachi Sushi locations. A site copyright notice dated 2023 remained on the page as of that check. The site's navigation also linked separate location pages for its Kansas City, Kansas menu and the Sayachi Sushi menu, indicating both concepts remained active under the same ownership as of the review.
