Elk Grove’s StreetZlan is headed to Flavortown on national TV. The smokehouse taqueria on Laguna Main Street will be featured on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” this Friday at 6 p.m. The restaurant says the segment marks the first time the show has ever come to Elk Grove and is teasing a watch party and a fresh menu to match the moment. The national spotlight also lands right as the Main Street plaza looks to boost summer foot traffic and neighborhood buzz.
As reported by The Sacramento Bee, StreetZlan announced the appearance in an Instagram post Monday, writing, “We’re proud to say we brought Triple D to Elk Grove for the very first time.” The Sacramento outlet adds that the post continued, saying “this moment isn’t just ours, it’s a win for our city, our team, and every single person who has supported us from day one.”
What To Expect On Screen
The episode is set to spotlight StreetZlan’s signature mashup of barbecue and street tacos. Brisket tacos, loaded Street Fries and smash burgers are among the staples that play up the kitchen’s smokehouse style, so viewers can expect plenty of slow-smoked meat and messy-hands energy on camera. Location details and hours are listed on StreetZlan's website, which gives the address as 9080 Laguna Main Street and includes contact information.
Local Roots
Co-owners Erick and Jessica Silva opened the Elk Grove location in November 2023 after moving their operation from Galt, and they have steadily built a local following for inventive street-style dishes, The Sacramento Bee reported in 2025. The profile noted the owners focused resources on the Elk Grove outpost after closing the original location and that many menu items first took shape as test dishes at farmers markets.
Why It Matters
Appearances on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” often bring a quick rush of customers and online attention, delivering a major publicity pop for independent eateries while sometimes stretching small teams to their limits. Local reporting on similar segments shows social media accounts and sales can spike after an appearance, as a Stockton food truck experienced following a Guy Fieri visit, KCRA reported.
The StreetZlan episode airs at 6 p.m. Friday, and the restaurant says it will share concrete watch-party details and menu plans on its social channels. For Elk Grove diners, it is a rare chance to see a familiar counter on a national stage and a moment that could reshape the line out the door in the days after the broadcast.
