What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's episode "California Dreamin'" (S14E1) featured Bull Taco, a taco shop at San Elijo State Beach in Cardiff, California, known for dishes including the LBC taco (lobster, bacon, and chorizo) and a Baja-style fish taco. The restaurant operated on South Coast Highway 101 in the Cardiff-by-the-Sea area, a stretch of casual surf-town eateries. Yelp's listing for Bull Taco, updated in August 2026, lists the restaurant as closed. Google Places likewise lists the business as permanently closed. A 2026-09-08 check of the restaurant's former website found the bulltaco.com domain no longer associated with the business; it now displays unrelated third-party content with no reference to tacos or the Cardiff location. No news report or ownership statement describing when or why the closure occurred could be located during this review, so the exact closing date remains undocumented.
