Explosion at La Carreta?

I'm just back from a trip to TJ (reviews, eventually will be forthcoming).
On Saturday afternoon (the 29th), I was having lunch with a chica on the balcony at Azul. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with good food, drinks and company, and we were having a blast.
And then suddenly.... BOOM.
I got up from my chair and across the alleyway, all I could see was smoke billowing out onto the street from the doorway of La Carreta. I thought it best to GTFO so I promptly paid the tab and took the chica back to the club. We did stay just long enough to notice that both the municipal police and the army showed up within like 90 seconds of the explosion.
I have no idea if anyone was hurt. It could've been something trivial like the helium tank they use to blow up balloons ruptured on the street. Or it could've been a bomb inside the building that actually killed people.
I'm thinking it was something more trivial because I haven't been able to find any info about this anywhere else. But, does anyone else here know what I'm talking about? Anyone have any real info as far as what happened?

I just checked again, and the only news I can find about a Tijuana explosion is from a building downtown that exploded like a year ago.
My guess is, it was some stupid shit, like a helium tank, or some poorly maintained kitchen apparatus. Otherwise, surely I'd be finding news about it?
Methane (sewer gas) is possible. Propane is also possible. Maybe one of the street vendors was storing tanks there.
