What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Stuffed, Sandwiched and Souped' (aired 2023-08-04), Guy Fieri visited Tacos y Birria La Unica, a taco business on East Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles known for birria, a braised beef preparation typically served in tacos alongside a dipping broth called consome. The business maintains its online presence primarily through an Instagram account rather than a standalone website. A September 2026 check of the account, @tacosybirrialaunica, found the profile active and loading normally, with the account still publicly viewable under the same handle.
Google Places also lists Tacos y Birria La Unica's business status as operational. Between the functioning Instagram presence and the current Google listing, the birria taco spot appears to remain in business on East Olympic Boulevard more than two years after its television feature.
