SEATTLE - Food Network host Guy Fieri is in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, bringing his long-running show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" back to the Pacific Northwest.
FOX 13 Seattle spotted a cherry red convertible parked outside Lupe's Situ Tacos at 5239 Ballard Ave. N.W. at 9 a.m. Monday.

Lupe's Situ Tacos brings a unique tradition to the table
Local perspective:
Lupe's Situ Tacos, a walk-in-only restaurant on Ballard Avenue, is known for its original crunchy tacos inspired by family tradition.
According to the restaurant's website, the recipe comes from the owner's grandmother, Delores Flores, who was half Lebanese and half Mexican. "Situ" means grandmother in Arabic. The signature tacos feature tortillas that are initially fried, stuffed, sewn together with toothpicks, and pan-fried to a golden crisp.
