A famous name didn’t get Maria Maria very far. The upscale Mexican eatery at Tempe Marketplace — created by legendary musician Carlos Santana and named after his Grammy-winning song — has closed; its phone number is disconnected and the location is no longer listed on the restaurant’s corporate website.
