With heavy hearts and reflective spirits we announce the permanent closure of our beloved restaurant, Mango Peruvian Cuisine. Our last day of operations will be Dec. 19th.
We are sad to close our doors for good but ever so grateful for all we’ve been able to accomplish in the past 16 years. We were embraced with open arms and proudly introduced Peruvian Cuisine to the community we love so much. We won countless awards and recognition from many publications and saw how those accolades translated into smiles at our tables. We worked with various charitable organizations and gave back to our city in meaningful ways that impacted children and families throughout our region. We hosted weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and so many other special events for our clients who shared these celebrations with us.
We would like to express our gratitude to our dedicated and hard-working staff. Throughout the years, we have met and worked with so many amazing people who shared our vision and gave every ounce of themselves to help us achieve something special for our community. We couldn’t have possibly done it without you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment.
A special thanks to our friends and business partners, Sherry and Paul Sawchak, who sacrificed so much to help us create a safe and beautiful environment to share our culture and cuisine with.
To the people of St. Louis and surrounding areas who kept an open mind and let us share our love of food, drink and family; you made our dream come true and for that we are forever in your debt.
We want it to be clear that we blame nobody besides maybe an unprecedented health crises and the inexorable squeeze of a ticking clock. We could exhaust ourselves finding fault but instead we focus on the memories that will forever be in our hearts and the privilege of having served and worked with so many great people.
We may be going but the community that holds us all together will always be here, and for that we can only be obliged and hopeful for what the next chapter holds.
Thank you St. Louis, we’ll be seeing you around.
With much love and gratitude,
The Calvo Family
