The site of a restaurant fire near my house.

A buddy of mine from Florida and I ate here two nights before this happened.

A bummer, too, as it's one of my favorite local eateries.

Taqueria Juaritos
3865 Jefferson Rd
Athens, GA 30607

None of the social media photos I saw really showed much, but these aerial shots do.

 

The booth that is still visible through the hole in the roof is where we sat.

 

 

 

Many flies lost their lives, but fortunately no people were injured that I am aware of.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't envy these peoples' inevitable upcoming battle with their insurance company, but hopefully this process will be as quick as possible and the restaurant will re-open.

The sopes and gorditas were fantastic.  That's generally what I ordered.
