Map it

Where can you get delectable Peruvian food in a classy establishment with an upscale atmosphere for a resonable price? One wouldn't think it would be in a strip mall on the border of Crestwood and South City, but that's exactly where you'll find it. Tucked into the strip mall at Dierberg's Plaza on Watson Road, Mango offers authentic Peruvian cuisine in a cozy environment. This family owned business won't be in the area much longer, though. They soon plan on moving downtown onto Washington Avenue, taking over the old Mosaic building. The move is set for September '09. This was my first encounter with Peruvian food, and being in the mood for something exotic, I was pretty anxious to dive right in.
