“Sadly, we’ve made the difficult decision to close Mojo,” said a representative from Mojo Cantina. “We’ve tried a number of things in this space, and it just hasn’t worked. Right now, we are focused on deciding what our next steps will be.”

As for staff and guests, Mojo told Dished that “all staff have been paid, many with severance.”

“We apologize to the handful of guests who were able to book before our reservation system was completely closed,” added Mojo.
