Mi Corazon. Translated
as ‘My Heart’. Was Mi Corazon, Brunswick East going to steal my nacho chomping
heart? Quite possibly, but all I was hoping was that my nachos were going to
come out just as cheesy as the name.
Dark setting,
candlelight, Corona. Oh yeah, we’ve got the Mexican mood set. Don’t mind the
Melbourne trams flying past the front window or the drunk girls at the front
using their 'outside voices' to communicate to the person directly next to them.
Focus, focus. Now, time for the nachos. For $15.50, the price matched the
portion of the meal. Big portion make me happy! The plate sat at a nice hot
temperature but as I assessed the bottom layers of the corn chips I soon saddened
as I realised they were cheeseless. Warm, but cheeseless. Which flattens my
initial hopes of a cheesy meal. But this was made up for with a healthy dose of
fresh guacamole and sour cream and salsa served on the side. The sour cream and
salsa were both served in small bowls, which I thought was ingenious! Although
going against the traditional dollop, the bowls made it easier for the eater to
control their condiment portions with every bite, and it didn’t melt or make
the chips soggy.
Besides these sides,
the nachos lacked bulk. There was no beans or meat, so it felt like I was
eating dip for my main meal. But nonetheless, a big portion of dip. Overall I
was satisfied with my nachos at Mi Corazon. Although a few things can be added
to make it more delicious, it passed the test, but maybe didn’t pass with
straight A’s.
Score: 3 / 5
