<\/p>\n Cholita Tacos hit and run<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Owner Greg Howe tells WRTV a water and gas line were damaged and an air conditioner was leveled.<\/p>\n “It basically shut us down,” Howe said. “There was a massive water leak that occurred because the car actually hit a water main that basically broke in the basement.”<\/p>\n The restaurant was closed Sunday and Monday as crews cleaned up the damage.<\/p>\n “You’re talking quite a few, double digit, thousand dollars in sales that are lost, not to mention the fact that we have staff that lost a full day at work. We’re going to try and take care of them, but for them that didn’t come at a very good time to say the least,” Howe said. “One day may not seem like a lot, but you know in the grand scheme of how we we do our business from fresh product to our staff salaries, t’s a big hit being a Sunday.”<\/p>\n Howe estimates the total damage to the building is $50,000. A police report has been filed.<\/p>\n The restaurant hopes to reopen Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n window.fbAsyncInit = function() { appId : ‘1575767939378722’,<\/p>\n xfbml : true,
