Mexico is a huge country with vastly different cultures, climates, and vegetation. The accidents of history, highly developed ancient civilisations, foreign invasions and influences, and diverse indigenous cultures, many of which still survive today, have all contributed to Mexico’s complex gastronomy.At El Corazon we celebrate the flavours of Mexico, from the wheat and red meat of Northern Mexico to the maize and chillies of the South. Our goal is to combine the best local, seasonal ingredients with some of the best ingredients available from Mexico, to create a dining experience which reflects the amazing food found from the marketplaces of Oaxaca, to the fine food districts of Mexico City.There is a common misconception that all Mexican food is hot. This is not the case and it totally depends on the individual how much heat they want. Please help yourself to our selection of hot sauces adjacent to the bar on our ‘Wall of Pain’ and ask our friendly staff if you need assistance. Please be aware some of the hot sauces are extremely hot, so proceed with caution!We cater for all occasions from amore to fiesta. If you are planning a party check out our banquet menu which is fantastic for larger groups. We understand that many diners have dietary requirements and we are more than happy to be accommodating where possible. Please ask your wait staff for assistance with this matter.

GUAJILLO - (Gwa - hee-oh)One of the most common chillies in Mexcio and southwest cooking. Rich, raisin like and mild.ANCHO- Again very common chilli, popular in salsas, beans and good for stuffing (rellenos)ROJO- means red, but in salsas and Moles it refers to the chilli colour, not the final colour

MOLE - A complex sexy sauce from Mexico. If its on the menu, TRY IT, it is good stuff and often contains over 20 ingredients!

TOMATILLO - Translates to little tomato but very different. Bright, citrusy, good for salsas.

QUESO - we use the word to describe ‘fresh cheese’. The most common kind in Mexico.
