Peruvian Restaurant |
Bienvenido a Mango, the first Peruvian restaurant in St. Louis. Peruvian food has many influences including Incan, Spanish, African, and Asian. Mango’s menu includes seasonal dishes of fish, seafood, chicken and beef prepared with authentic spices, herbs and peppers from native Peru. We are certain that you will find something to your liking on our menu.Mango exudes warmth and ambiance with its rich scarlet and mango hues. Spanish wrought-iron dividers separate the restaurant into cozy sections. Native art and rustic iron adorn the walls. White linen tablecloths and flowers offer a polished welcoming atmosphere. Bienvenido!
Peruvian cuisine, in addition to its Inca origins, combines Spanish, Asian, and African influences to make an eclectic fusion of indigenous crops, spices, meats and seafood. Fresh ingredients and imaginative sauces are a hallmark of Peruvian cuisine, as is the popular Aji Amarillo pepper. This fruity flavored and aromatic pepper is incorporated into many dishes, adding mild spice and a pleasant yellow color. This pepper can be mixed with oil and used as a flavorful condiment or dipping sauce as well.
A staple menu item of Peruvian cuisine, anticuchos can be credited to Peru’s African descendants. These kabob style dishes are traditionally prepared with cow’s heart, but we also prepare them with chicken. For lighter fare, piqueos (small plates) offer a tasting of Peruvian flavors in addition to the vast array of traditional appetizers.
