What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the July 2012 Dynamic Dishes episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visited this Las Vegas taco shop near the University of Nevada campus, sampling made-to-order Mexican tacos built around house salsas and slow-cooked meats. The restaurant operated as a casual Mexican taqueria at 4632 South Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas. Fan accounts of the show credited the segment with drawing large crowds to the small storefront in the months after it aired.
