history

After Hurricane Dora my grandparents rebuilt the restaurant. It has always been a family run restaurant providing jobs for us all, Grandparents, Mom & Dad, Myself and my brothers, aunts, nieces, in-laws as well as many friends. In 1970 my grandfather died and my grandmother along with my Dad and Mom took over operations. My father being the builder at heart that he is has made the place what it is today after many many remodels. My grandmother passed away in fall of 2001. Since then my parents, Myself and my 2 brothers have been keeping the restaurant afloat. It has been a struggle to say the least and honestly every year it gets harder. But thanks to visitors and loyal customers, The Santa Maria is alive and well. The Santa Maria is a special kind of restaurant with a rich history unlike any other restaurant here in our great city. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you, so you too can be a part of it's grand legacy.
