Pasion Latin Fusion
Albuquerque, New Mexico
It has since closed.
The short answer
Owners posted directly on the business's own Facebook page that June 1 would be the restaurant's last day of service ('Final taco Tuesday').
What happened on the show
Pasion Latin Fusion in Albuquerque, New Mexico, run by Elvis and Monica Bencomo, took an eighth season turn by the program's standard setup, two days and a refit fund kept tight by design. Wikipedia holds no summary, so how Irvine reshaped the kitchen and room is not reconstructed here. The ending is unusually well documented, because it came straight from the owners. They posted on the restaurant's own Facebook page that June 1 would be its final day of service, a farewell they framed as a last taco Tuesday. That primary statement, in their own words rather than a third party relay, anchors the closure cleanly. Pasion falls among the eighth season restaurants that eventually closed, but at least on its own terms and with a clear goodbye to its regulars.
After the cameras left
Pasion Latin Fusion has closed, and the notice came from the owners themselves. On the restaurant's own Facebook page, the Bencomos posted that a June 1 would be their last day of service, tagging it their final taco Tuesday, a first-party statement rather than a third-party relay, so this is a high-confidence call. The Albuquerque fusion room that Fiery Family Fusion tried to steady did not last, its close set down in the owners' own words to their customers.
