What happened after Man v. Food?
On Man v. Food (S3E7, aired 2010-07-21), the episode's stop in San Juan featured Restaurante Raíces, an Old San Juan restaurant serving mofongo and other traditional Puerto Rican dishes, with servers dressed in period attire evoking mid-20th-century island life. The restaurant sits at 315 Calle del Recinto Sur, within the old city's restaurant district. A Yelp listing for that address, updated 2026-08, shows the restaurant active with nearly 2,000 reviews, and Google Places records the location as operational. A separate Yelp listing marks a Restaurante Raíces location on Avenida Arterial B, elsewhere in San Juan, as closed, but that is a different address from the Old San Juan restaurant featured in the episode. The restaurant's own site, restauranteraices.com, was located via search after the address given in our records, a rebrand.ly redirect link, returned an error on direct access.
