ALO, the Mexican-Peruvian restaurant in owned and operated by Taco and Duni Borga is closed. Early Sunday morning a fire started in the roof over the kitchen. Fire department officials believe it could have been caused by electrical malfunction. According to PR rep, Martha Tiller, the damages could be as high as $400,000 and the restaurant in Knox Street Village at HW 75 and Knox Street will be closed for almost three months.
I am really bummed to hear this. It is one of my favorite restaurants and their food is perfect for summertime. I like it much better than La Duni and hope they manage to re-open as soon as possible.
Insurance can cover repairs, but what’s really bad is that you miss out on the $$$ from the summer months. I’m rooting for them to come back and glad to know that they will rebuild.
