Elk Grove's Streetzlan Makes History as First Local Restaurant on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"

Streetzlan, a family-owned smokehouse taqueria in Elk Grove’s Laguna West area, just wrote itself into local history. The restaurant became the first from Elk Grove to be featured on Food Network’s“Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,”and the response has been nothing short of remarkable. Since the episode aired, customers have been lining up out the door, and owner Erick Silva is rightfully proud of the moment. The visibility breakthrough came at a time when the restaurant needed it most.

Silva is candid about the restaurant’s pre-feature struggles. Despite serving quality food prepared with care, Streetzlan faced the tough reality that location and visibility were working against them. Getting noticed from their spot in Laguna West proved difficult, even for a business turning out solid work. That all changed when Guy Fieri came calling. The burnt ends brisket tacos, now the signature item driving customer traffic, have become what people specifically come to try after watching the show.

What’s particularly encouraging is the community response. Customers aren’t just chasing celebrity hype; they’re showing up to support a family business they believe in. In Sacramento, where we value community ties and supporting local operations, that’s the kind of loyalty that matters. Streetzlan is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m., with Sunday brunch available. Have you made the trip to Laguna West yet to check them out?
