What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured La Santa Maria Kitchen in the episode "Hand to Mouth," which aired 2026-07-10, highlighting the Tampa food truck's world-fusion menu of tacos, empanadas, and hand pies drawing on Latin American, Asian, and Caribbean influences. According to its DoorDash listing, the business operates as a mobile food truck rather than from a fixed storefront, taking delivery and pickup orders through platforms including DoorDash and Postmates. A 2026-09-08 search found the truck's DoorDash and Yelp pages both still active, describing La Santa Maria Kitchen as a food truck serving the Tampa area. The location record supplied for this batch had matched to an unrelated Tampa steakhouse; that address was set aside once the search confirmed La Santa Maria Kitchen has no single fixed address, operating instead from a commissary location used for delivery orders. No dated evidence of a closure was found.
