What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On "Dallas Dumplings, Florida Fried and Chi-Tacos" (aired 2025-02-21), Guy Fieri visited Omarcito's Latin Cafe, a Latin American restaurant in Chicago that its own website promotes as serving "must-try Latin American food." The restaurant operates at 3801 W Fullerton Ave. According to Omarcito's website, checked September 2026, the business lists current weekend hours — Friday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-8 p.m. — along with an active online-ordering system, a catering menu and inquiry form, and gift cards. The site also linked to the cafe's active Instagram and Google Business profiles. No reports of a closure, relocation, or change in ownership were found during this check, and the restaurant's phone number, storefront address, and ordering page all appeared unchanged and active since the episode aired.
