A copper thief knocked out power and shut down Antique Taco’s Bridgeport location for one of its busiest weekends of the year, but the restaurant has since reopened.
The restaurant lost all of the food and prepared drinks it had on hand. It did replace the electrical wires with noncopper materials.
“I’m sorry to hear this,” wrote one Instagram user. “Please know that the non-vandals in the neighborhood appreciate all you do for our community.”
The rustic taco joint had just begun its new extended summer hours when the vandal hit. The restaurant still plans to hold its weekly Wheel Wednesday, when food trucks set up on its patio, starting April 11.
