Food Style? Mexican

Right by High Park is a small Mexican restaurant called Aztec’s Mine. It smells like meat and spices inside, and on a cold autumn day in Toronto, a bit of spice is just what I need. I hope they deliver.

I went for the enchiladas de mole. Mole is not a common sauce you find in New Zealand Mexican establishments; it might be too exotic, but this region of the world is known for their chocolate and it’s no wonder that they’ve made an enchilada sauce out of it.

Enchiladas de Mole: Corn tortillas with a shredded chicken filling, with a traditional chocolate-mole sauce
It smells interesting. There’s definitely that rich chocolate aroma but it tastes savoury and I’m not convinced it goes that well with the chicken, cheese and onions on the plate. A few more tries and I’m more accustomed to the flavour combination, but I’m not completely sold. I think I prefer the enchiladas rojas or verde. However, the hot sauce packs a punch and sends me straight for my glass of water. Nice!
