What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Beto's Comida Latina for the 'Latin Street Food' episode, aired 2011-10-10, spotlighting the restaurant's eclectic Latin dishes, including chicken poblano empanadas and a guava-and-cream-cheese chalupa cabra. Beto's Comida Latina opened in 1997 at 8142 Broadway St in San Antonio, founded by Cheryl and Albert Mijangos as an alternative to typical Tex-Mex. At some point after its television feature, the restaurant was rebranded as Beto's Alt-Mex at the same Broadway address. Google's business profile for that address lists Beto's Alt-Mex as permanently closed, and Yelp's listing, updated 2026-03, also marks it permanently closed. No source reviewed gives a specific closure date. No current website, social account, or owner statement about the closure was found. No successor business at 8142 Broadway St was identified in the material reviewed.
