Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 19, Episode 7 Aired

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Latin House Grill, a Latin American restaurant that operated at 8695 Southwest 124th Avenue in Miami, Florida. The show's stop highlighted the restaurant's home-style Latin cooking, drawing on Cuban and Nicaraguan traditions in a family-run kitchen. According to Yelp, a listing updated in June 2026 marks the restaurant as permanently closed. A Triple D Life page that tracks Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives filming locations also lists Latin House Grill as closed. Some online sources have suggested the business relocated to a Kendall Village location as part of an expansion, but no dated, named source confirms that claim, so it is noted here only as an unresolved possibility rather than a fact. No 2026-dated hours, ordering page, or current review indicating operation at the original 124th Avenue address was found in the research performed for this record.

Mystery Diners, Season 10, Episode 6 Aired

In "Hamburger Burglar" (Mystery Diners, Food Network, S10E6, aired 2015-07-08), according to Food Network's episode synopsis, Michell and Bella, owners of Latin House in Miami, Florida, told investigator Charles Stiles they feared someone at their offsite warehouse was leaking the recipe behind their award-winning burgers. Charles sent Mystery Diners operatives Jamie and Estefanie in undercover to determine whether a mole inside the organization was responsible, and Food Network's synopsis frames the investigation around that possibility. Charles then advised the owners on securing the recipe and tightening access to the warehouse. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, describes the series as staged and scripted rather than an unscripted documentary.
