Firefighters said when they arrived, they found the fire in the back of the building, near some propane tanks. They also checked to make sure the fire didn’t extend to the attic and the flames were extinguished quickly, fire officials said.

The battalion chief said it is unclear if the fire was arson or caused by something electrical. The restaurant did however take on a little bit of smoke, but there wasn’t much damage done by the fire.

According to the San Antonio Fire Department website, four units answered the call.

No one was inside the building and no injuries were reported, fire officials said.
