What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

For 'Sweet, Savory and Saucy' (aired 2015-04-17), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited La Santisima Gourmet Taco Shop in Phoenix, Arizona, where Guy Fieri sampled a Nogada Taco and Oaxacan Black Mole Chicken from a menu built around Mexico City-style tinga, Yucatan-style pork and a wide salsa bar. The restaurant grew from its original Central Phoenix location into a small chain with additional outlets in Glendale and Flagstaff, according to the business's own promotional materials. The company's website, checked 2026-09-08, displayed a banner marking a location as 'Temporary Closed' and a 'non live location,' though it was not clear whether that notice applied to the original 16th Street address or another store in the chain. No dated news coverage or a clearly labeled current listing for the 16th Street location was found to resolve the ambiguity.
