Customers react to Mango’s closure ahead of final day

MOORHEAD, N.D. (Valley News Live) – Customers are stopping by Mango’s Mexican and American Grill before the Moorhead restaurant closes its doors on May 25.

Loyal diners from both sides of the border are making sure they get a final visit in at the restaurant, which announced its closure earlier this week.

“I was glad I was going to be in town so I could stop in,” said Cassandra Miller. “I needed my Mango’s fix.”

Cassandra Miller said the restaurant has built a strong customer base across the region, and she expects the final days to be busy.

“They have a huge following from both Minnesota and North Dakota, so it’ll probably be very packed here, and it will be a great sendoff for them,” she said.

Her husband, John Miller, said he was surprised by how quickly the closure is happening but hopes the owners have plans to reopen elsewhere.

“I was a little surprised that they didn’t take very long for them to close down, but it’s probably for, you know, good reason,” John Miller said. “Hope you guys open up somewhere else so we can enjoy your food.”

Customer Donna Miller said her favorite item on the menu is shrimp.

The owners are not available this week but are inviting customers to stop by before the final day of service on May 25.
