Owner of El Comal in North Park devastated by burglary NBC 7 San Diego [Video]

While customers go to El Comal for homecooked Mexican food, surveillance video shows a suspected burglar making himself at home at the North Park restaurant before leaving with a safe filled with thousands of dollars.

“I’m going to be behind in everything. We depend on this for the business. It’s the only income we have,” said Luz Herrera, the owner of El Comal.

The glass door to the restaurant is still boarded up from where Herrera says the burglar used a rock to break in around 1 a.m. on Sunday.

The timestamp on the video shows the suspect stayed for more than two hours before making off with the safe that included hundreds of dollars in tip money from a recent catering job.

“People like us wake early and work hard, and the people like in the streets can do whatever they want. That’s why I’m so frustrated,” Herrera said.
