South Tucson’s Crossroads Restaurant is temporarily closed after a fire broke out inside the building early in the morning on Sunday, August 13.

An emergency call for the restaurant at 2602 S. Fourth Ave. came in around 1 a.m. As of this morning, there still isn’t a determined cause for the fire but as seen in the photos, the majority of the building has been destroyed — a portion of the roof has caved in with debris scattered around the property.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Crossroads Restaurant first opened its doors in 1936 and was originally an American-style restaurant, mainly serving hamburgers before transitioning into one of South Tucson’s most popular Mexican and seafood spots.

Stay tuned for more information and for possible opportunities to help out the family-owned restaurant as they hopefully rebuild.
