What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Sloppy, Saucy and Stuffed' (aired 2023-07-07), Guy Fieri visited La Pupusa Urban Eatery, a Salvadoran restaurant in Los Angeles specializing in pupusas, the thick corn tortillas typically stuffed with cheese, beans, or pork. The restaurant operates from a storefront suite on West Washington Boulevard near downtown Los Angeles. A direct check of the restaurant's website, lapupusadtla.com, on September 8, 2026 found the page live with a last-modified timestamp from that same day, indicating the site had been updated that day, along with an active online ordering system. Google Places also lists La Pupusa Urban Eatery's business status as operational. The combination of a same-day website update and a current Google listing indicates the restaurant remains in active operation more than three years after its television feature.
