Don't know if anyone saw the news today, but a popular mexican restaurant caught on fire last night (7/11) around 3am, Piedras Negras De Noche @ 1312 S. Laredo. It is right off of 35 between S Alamo and S Laredo just south of downtown San Antonio.

The fire caused about $500,000 worth of damage. The restaurant belongs to my family and they are taking it kinda hard. It has been open for almost 30 years. Everything was pretty much destroyed by the fire and if it wasnt then the water and smoke got it.

We also own the building next door which serves breakfast and lunch and we were fortunate that it did not receive any damage was cleared for us to open it for business.


Basically what im asking is that you stop by and support us by giving us your business.

Right now things are still up in the air but I believe the hours will be from 6am to 10pm.

We plan to rebuild but it will take some time until everything is back to 100%.

Thanks

oh man! sorry to hear. what caused it?
i have cousins in town and we're thinking about heading over to SA--if so, i'll be sure to drop by.

It ended it being the wiring somewhere in the 1st floor kitchen and quickly moved up the stairway into the 2nd floor kitchen and eventually into the 3rd floor.

I went in to check things out once it was cleared and in many areas of the kitchen and office areas, there was no roof overhead.

i didnt even go onto the 3rd floor because it was the worst hit and i didnt want to make things worse by falling through the floor.

Thanks unholy-knight

oh man i saw this from 35 last night as i was driving by, i used to love the food there man... dude i'll most definatley stop by, i'll see about taking some of TSE with me.... dude srry to hear about this man

SATownScion

thanks dude.

i actually ate there the day before and i was on my way over there when my mom called me to tell me the bad news. i was only a few hundred feet away when she told me. When i pulled into the parking lot, i noticed how bad it actually was.

they closed down 35 for a bit because the fire was so intense that the smoke was really thick.

2k8_tc_guy

woah what time did they shut down 35? cause i passed by like at 3:20.... and i saw fire crews there already...

SATownScion

not too sure, i just read it on one of the websites. i think it was only the northbound upper deck since its so close to the third floor.

2k8_tc_guy

ya well i passed through the upper level and it was hard to see anything, all i could see were flames... man i wish y'all the best, i'll post up a bulletin on myspace about it too to try to help y'all out...

SATownScion

it must have been really bad for the flames to be that high.
thanks bro, just trying to get as much business as we can so we can get things back on track.

2k8_tc_guy

yea dude the flames were shooting up from the top of the building... i saw it and i started trippin out man, i remember when i used to work for the county we would eat lunch there alot... just umm try not to like up the price and charge me $5 for a cup of tea or something, unless its some really really good tea haha, but yea man i'll most definately stop by

Sucks man.

You guys didn't have fire/water insurance???

stonecoldnimrod

how bout you post up the address of the restaurant that's still open so when i hit up san anton (my home away form home) i'll stop on by for some grub.

SATownScion

yea we had fire insurance and since it is being ruled an accident, its going to pay out but everyone knows that insurance doesnt like to pay for everything.

The open restaurant is right next door which should be
1310 S Laredo SA,TX 78204

might head up to the riverwalk this weekend... ill be sure to stop by if i do.

SATownScion

Thanks everybody. I wasnt expecting this big of a response. It would be sweet if we could set up some type of scion get together. The parking lot is defiantly big enough.

i'll talk to my cuz and see what he says.

Thanks again
