What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
The 2012-09-26 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 1, episode 24), as summarized by TVmaze, included Tres Carnales Taqueria in Edmonton, Alberta, without naming a dish. The Griff reported on 2022-01-21 that the restaurant at 10119 100A Street NW in downtown Edmonton was serving from noon to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Edify Edmonton's article of 2022-03-01 describes slow-cooked Latin fillings such as al pastor and braised short rib with chocolate and chili, with quesabirria tacos on Mondays and Saturdays, mentions take-home taco kits sold during the pandemic, and notes a 2012 Best New Restaurant award. Daily Hive's Edmonton Cinco de Mayo roundup, dated 2022-05-04, listed it first among four Edmonton restaurants. A business directory page for the address shows the same noon-to-8 p.m. Monday-to-Saturday hours, with no date for the listing.
Daily Hive reported on 2023-12-19, in a roundup of Edmonton restaurants locals would like to see reopen, that Tres Carnales announced it would close in January 2023 after 12 years of service. CTV News Edmonton reported, in an article whose page carries no date but refers to a Monday social media post, that the downtown restaurant's last day of operation would be Jan. 14, and that the post thanked customers without giving a reason.
