Open only since February, Mariposa on Third Avenue in Shenandoah appears to have called it quits. Hints of its demise were evidenced by step ladders seen through a newly un-branded storefront on a recent drive by. Calls placed to its phone number today resulted in a perpetual busy signal on the other end. The former website is also for sale from Godaddy.com.

Hopefully any customers they had will just go across the street to newly opened Casa Cafe.
