What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 2012 'Drive Thru Paradise' episode featured Roberto's Taco Shop's burritos and tacos as part of its San Diego lineup. According to Wikipedia, revised 2026-04-15, Roberto's Taco Shop began as a tortilleria founded in San Ysidro, San Diego, in 1964 by Roberto Robledo and his wife Dolores, later expanding into a chain across California and Nevada. The Scott Street location in San Diego's Point Loma neighborhood, featured on the show, is listed as operational according to a Google Places listing. The restaurant's own website, robertospointloma.com, was last modified on 2026-06-22 and listed current hours and an online-ordering menu. Together, the Google Places listing, the chain's own recently modified website with live ordering, and Wikipedia's history of the chain indicate the Point Loma location continues to operate under the Roberto's Taco Shop name featured on the show.
