"Around 3:30 a.m. I learned a fire broke out at the Buford Highway Doraville location while three staff were prepping for breakfast; they escaped unharmed. The blaze apparently started around the bar and was quickly contained, but it caused fire, smoke, and water damage to the interior, with the bar the hardest-hit area, and there’s no word yet on what sparked it. A Facebook message says the Doraville restaurant is "temporarily" closed, the advocacy group We Love BuHi has rallied the Buford Highway community to assist the restaurant and its employees, and this homey Colombian spot—known for coming alive on weekends with live music and groups gathering for a meal and the see-and-be-seen atmosphere—will be closed while repairs are addressed." - Beth McKibben
