What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Willie's Pinchos in Orlando for the 'Multicultural Cooking' episode, aired 2017-04-28, spotlighting the restaurant's Puerto Rican pinchos and other island specialties. Willie's Pinchos is a small, casual Puerto Rican restaurant on North Goldenrod Road serving dishes such as mofongo, jibaritos, and Cuban sandwiches alongside its namesake skewers. According to Yelp, whose listing for the restaurant was updated in July 2026, Willie's Pinchos continues to operate at that Goldenrod Road address with posted hours Tuesday through Sunday and had accumulated 242 reviews.

Google Places likewise lists the business as operating at the same address. The restaurant's own website, williespinchos.com, returned an access error during a September 2026 check, so its current content could not be directly confirmed, leaving Yelp as the primary dated source for this record.
