Restaurant notes: Arbol Cafe is 86ed
The cease-and-desist order on Arbol.

Arbol Cafe's 3½ years of bringing Paraguayan specialties to Northern Liberties has drawn to a close.

Co-owner Beth and Oscar Acuna are exploring their options.

Last month, the city cited the business for operating without food-prep and business-privilege licenses.

They're selling off equipment. She says she wants to continue selling yerba mate, her specialty.

See Facebook and Craigslist.

Interested in the space? It's a snug 500 square feet of cafe, but there's a 1,400-square-foot yard. Email heididuffey@gmail.com.

    I loved (and will miss) their lomito, the Paraguyan hoagie.
