La Cuchara restaurant in Vallejo has reopened after suffering three robberies that resulted in $80,000 in losses. Owner Eduardo Paniagua reported that thieves stole equipment, food, and drinks, forcing a five-month closure. The restaurant is popular for its Mexican and Salvadoran cuisine, including pupusas. Paniagua also developed an adjoining soccer field for public use.
