LAKEPORT, Calif. — A popular Lakeport eatery is closed temporarily following a small fire that occurred on Monday afternoon.

The fire at Jimmy's Deli & Taqueria on Lakeport Boulevard was first reported just before 2:30 p.m. Monday.

The restaurant management reported that they hope to reopen by Monday.
