What happened after Food Paradise?
In the Season 9 episode 'Iconic Eats' (fp-s9e11), the show featured Taqueria La Cumbre, a San Francisco taqueria credited by many local accounts as an early popularizer of the oversized, foil-wrapped Mission-style burrito. The restaurant has operated on Valencia Street in the Mission District and has since expanded to a second location in San Mateo. According to the business's website, checked 2026-09-09, both the San Francisco and San Mateo locations remain active, each with its own online-ordering links through DoorDash and Grubhub. The site also lists a catering menu and separate hours pages for each location. No independent news coverage describing a closure or relocation of the San Francisco location was found.
