According to the restaurant's own site, guisados.la, reviewed 2026-09-07, the concept began in December 2010 when the father-and-son team Armando de la Torre Sr. and Jr. opened the original Boyle Heights shop, where stews and tortillas are still made fresh daily and distributed to the group's other Los Angeles-area locations, including the Sunset Boulevard address shown in this episode. This appearance is treated as an additional stop for the same Guisados restaurant group already tracked in the database under a separate record.
