What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On 'Sloppy, Spicy, and Belly' (aired 2026-04-24), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Nixtaco in Roseville, spotlighting the taqueria's nixtamalized corn tortillas, a vegan elote taco tossed in a smoky peanut-chipotle salsa, and a chip-and-salsa course built around four house salsas. Nixtaco is a taqueria in a Cirby Way strip mall, locally owned since 2015, according to the Michelin Guide. Since the episode, the Michelin Guide added Nixtaco to its California Bib Gourmand list in 2026, naming it among newly added affordable, gourmet-quality restaurants. Yelp's page, updated in September 2026, lists more than 1,900 reviews and current hours: Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday until 10 p.m., and Sunday until 9 p.m., and Google Places separately lists Nixtaco as operational at the same Cirby Way address.
