What happened after Food Paradise?
On "Bun-Believable," La Torta Gorda was featured for its Puebla-style Mexican cooking, with the episode spotlighting the restaurant's namesake tortas and mole poblano. The family-run restaurant opened in San Francisco's Mission District in 2002 and has operated from the same 24th Street storefront since, adding a plant-filled back patio. A Yelp listing updated 2026-08 lists La Torta Gorda as active, with several hundred reviews and photos, and a Google Places listing checked 2026-09-08 lists the restaurant as operational at the same 24th Street address. The restaurant's menu lists vegan torta options and daily specials rooted in Pueblan home cooking alongside its classic tortas.
