What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'For Brunch' episode featured Talavera Azul for its green chilaquiles, recommended by chef Marcela Valladolid. Talavera Azul is a Mexican breakfast-and-brunch restaurant at 365 3rd Avenue in Chula Vista, California, opened by the same family that runs La Espadana in Tijuana, Mexico, a restaurant established in 1990. The chilaquiles poblano and a chipotle variation remain menu staples, alongside dishes such as machaca and a Talavera-special omelette, according to the restaurant's own website. According to a Yelp business listing updated 2026-09, the Chula Vista restaurant continues to draw customer reviews, and the restaurant's own website, talaveraazul.shop, remains active with current menu and brunch-hours information. The restaurant has also been recognized locally, having won San Diego Magazine's Best Mexican Restaurant and Best Breakfast honors in past years.
