What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Los Tapatios, a Mexican restaurant in San Jose, on the episode "One of a Kind" (aired 2007-11-19), highlighting the kitchen's from-scratch approach to Mexican-American classics. Food Network's own restaurant directory lists a Los Tapatios San Jose entry as closed, without giving a specific date. A Yelp listing for a taco truck operating under the Los Tapatios name at 354 N White Rd, San Jose, was updated March 2026 and also marked closed. A separate Yelp listing for a Los Tapatios taco truck at 1905 Tully Rd, San Jose, was updated June 2026 with no closed marking, showing a business using the name still active somewhere in San Jose at that time. A second Yelp listing tied to the DDD-featured address at 354 N White Rd, updated April 2026, is also marked permanently closed, confirming that the featured location has closed; whether the still-listed Tully Road truck is connected to the original restaurant has not been established.
