Contigo Peru, one of the East Valley’s best ethnic restaurants, will close Sunday, Oct. 28, according to a notice posted on its website.

Burns and his wife, Monica Castellano, opened the critically acclaimed Peruvian restaurant on the southwest corner of Guadalupe and Alma School in Mesa in January 2010.

Burns’ former business partner, Jorge Benavente, opened another Peruvian restaurant, Inka Fest, less than a mile away (Guadalupe and Dobson) in January 2011.
