Heritage of the Dish

Karla Zazueta

Author, food writer and cookery teacher

Mole is one of Mexico’s most iconic sauces, deeply rooted in tradition and found in many regional variations across the country. Traditionally made by blending chillies, spices, nuts and seeds into a rich, slow-cooked sauce, it is a true celebration of Mexican heritage. This almond-based version adds a smooth, subtly sweet depth and velvety finish to the classic mole profile.

Hero Ingredients

Authentic Mexican Chillies

In this menu you will experience, a trio of authentic Mexican chillies - Ancho, Guajillo and Árbol, sourced from trusted suppliers in Mexico. Together they create the backbone of our mole, bringing smoky depth, fruity warmth and a gentle, building heat. Essential to Mexican cooking, they deliver the rich, layered flavour that defines this traditional dish.

Totopos (Corn Tortillas Chips)

Made from authentic white corn tortillas, our homestyle totopos are cut and fried until perfectly crisp, then lightly salted for the ideal balance of flavour. Strong enough to scoop chunky guacamole and traditionally enjoyed with everything from fresh salsas to chilaquiles, they're a simple yet iconic staple of Mexican cooking.

Quesco Fresco

Crafted by a small artisan cheesemaker using traditional methods, our Queso Fresco is fresh, soft and delicately crumbly with a light, milky flavour. A cornerstone of Mexican cooking, it’s traditionally crumbled over beans, tacos and salads, where its gentle creaminess balances smoky chillies, rich sauces and vibrant spices, bringing freshness and harmony to everyday dishes.

Fresh Corn Tortillas

Made fresh daily in a UK tortillería using traditional Mexican nixtamalisation and corn imported from Mexico, these 12cm tortillas are ground into masa harina for an authentic flavour and soft, pliable texture. A true staple of Mexican cooking, they form the essential base of countless traditional dishes.
