Food Paradise, Season 12 San Antonio, Texas

Current status

Open

As of October 2026, La Gloria is open — confirmed via the restaurant's current website/social account, accessed 2025.

What the source shows: Identified the featured location as La Gloria at the Pearl (100 E Grayson St, San Antonio), Chef Johnny Hernandez's flagship street-food concept. The restaurant group's own website lists current hours, menu link, and contact info (site copyright 2025), and Yelp's listing for the same address (1,700+ photos, 1,693 reviews) is updated September 2026 with no closure flag. A fresh fetch confirms the page is still live with the same posted hours and copyright. How we decide a status →

What happened after Food Paradise?

The 'Meltdown' episode featured a San Antonio restaurant called La Gloria, described in the episode listing only by city with no street address. A web search found that 'La Gloria' is shared by more than one San Antonio restaurant associated with Chef Johnny Hernandez's Grupo La Gloria — including a longstanding location at Pearl and a Dominion-area location that a Yelp listing, updated in July 2026, marks as closed — and the location data supplied for this record pointed instead to a street named 'La Gloria St,' not any of those businesses. Because the available evidence does not establish which La Gloria location the episode actually featured, this record's status is held at unknown pending a more specific address or neighborhood detail from the episode itself. No status claim beyond that is supported by what was found.
