Hermanos Mexican

TONIGHTS SPECIAL at the restaurant - the chefs as usual keeping it exciting and playing around with flavours from all over the world 🌍 filo wrapped feta, crunchy sesame & nigella seeds for texture and a sticky, sweet hot chilli and garlic honey to bring the whole dish together 🍯

Thanks all for another very busy week so far, it’s great to see so many of you making the trip over from Bordon to support us ❤️

WE WANTED TO SHARE some news with you all. After three years, we’re going to leave The Shed in Bordon.

When The Shed was still in the planning stages, we were the second business to sign the lease, taking a chance on an untested location – but also on ourselves. It became our first brick-and-mortar space, an exciting experience for a young business. While trying to establish this new venue, we also contended with a backdrop of Covid and a stressful economic climate for hospitality businesses.

Despite these challenges, our decision to step away from The Shed is a positive one. We’ve grown significantly over the last seven years and now is the time to refocus and reinvest to double down on what’s working. Our food truck wedding catering business is consistently fully booked, and we’ve successfully opened a coffee shop in Farnham. We even transformed our tiny hole-in-the-wall Hermanos kitchen in Alton into a smash burger concept after opening our first independent Hermanos restaurant just around the corner.

After careful consideration, we’ve decided to relocate our Bordon outlet to Farnham. This move presents exciting opportunities for us, and we can’t wait to share more details with you in the coming weeks. We believe this new location will be a hub of success and growth for our business.

We sincerely hope that our old unit in The Shed will be taken on by another young and excited independent business and make the same connections in the community, from customers to staff and like-minded entrepreneurs.

So, for now, it’s goodbye and thank you to Bordon, but we hope to see you again soon for tacos at one of our other locations.

Much love, team Hermanos 🌮

CONGRATULATIONS to 🍾

You are now the proud owner of one of our branded Hermanos t shirts, hold onto it maybe it will be worth something one day?! Thanks to all who entered last month’s competition 🙏

HATS OFF TO general manager Carlie for last weekends decadent special dessert 🍨 as well as looking lovely this caramelised pineapple cheesecake tasted even lovelier. Just like a big portion of our menu this was gluten free to boot 👍 thank you to all who came and enjoyed our food in the sunshine at both sites over the weekend ❤️

AS OUR RESTAURANT LOOKS LIKE it’s been sat abandoned and derelict due to the handy work of the Greenland 2 film crew 🎥 now’s a great time to shout out our brother business 🍔

Loitering around the market square today trying to get a glimpse of Gerard Butler? Head 10 seconds down Westbrook walk and come and grab a juicy burger, thick shake or some loaded fries 🍟 click and collect link in our story ⬆️ if you really can’t bare a day without Hermanos our site is open as usual.

WHAT A SPECIAL from head chef Max this weekend over in Alton 👍

House made maize corn waffles 🧇
Guacamole 🥑
Buttermilk fried chicken 🍗
Candied bacon 🥓
Hot honey 🍯

Flying out today for those lucky guests that managed to get a table. Who thinks we should run this one again soon??

SPREAD THE WORD we are looking for a full time supervisor to work with us at our shop 🌮

The ideal candidate would be someone with hospitality experience, a willingness to learn a new cuisine and a positive, can do attitude.

As well as working in our Bordon site we would love someone who’s up for getting involved at events in our food truck 🛻

Please share this with anyone you think might be suitable 🙏

WE’RE VERY HAPPY with how this little special came out that we ran over the weekend 🌮

- Confit duck carnitas
- Pickled rhubarb
- Citrus slaw
- Chamoy (recipe coming soon)
- Crispy duck skin

A good balance of unctuous duck, slightly spiced apricot chamoy, tart, sharp rhubarb and crunchy, salty skin 🦆

Thank you to our regulars who come every week to try our specials, we’ll keep you posted with this weeks 👍

IS OUR FOOD SPICY YOU ASK? All our recipes our packed full of their own balance of flavours in their own right, we use a lot of fresh herbs, vinegars and citrus to season our dishes so everything is spice-less for those spice averse or for our younger diners 🌶️ however for our hot headed clientele who don’t want to order plain and simple we have always offered 3 levels of heat 🥵

MILD - our signature toasted chilli de arbol oil, it’s got a light hum of chilli but is more about the subtle, smokey flavour. Eaten by kids and adults alike, combined with a squeeze of fresh lime it really does transform any taco on our menu 🌮

MEDIUM - our “mean green” hot sauce, the perfect middle ground for spice lovers, a real balance of sharp jalapeño with white wine vinegar, garlic and a little bit of sweet strawberry to even out the sharp flavour, our most popular hot sauce by far 🫑

HOT - we made this as hot as we could without destroying your palettes with the piles of scotch bonnets we pack into it, it has a real punch but the flavour of the sweet mango and pineapple does balance out the hot heat of the chilli peppers.

Which one’s your favourite?

FOR THIS MONTHS giveaway we’re putting up for grabs one of our highly coveted branded T-shirts 👕
We have sizes ranging from S-XL for one of you, who knows these things might be worth a lot of money one day?

Winner chosen at random on 10/05 🌮

THE HOT SAUCE market is a strange one, much of the branding seems to just be full of toilet humour and references to the anti christ.

We wanted something a little more original. Chicxulub (chick-sa-lub) is the name we chose for our hottest hot sauce. It’s a fiery mix of scotch bonnet balanced with sweet pineapple and mango.

Let’s set the scene behind our design process - 66 million years ago an asteroid hit the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. It wiped out the dinosaurs and 75% of all animal and plant life. 66 million years later Hermanos turned up in the Yucatan, thankfully by this time the eco system had fully recovered as our food today is heavily inspired by the food and ingredients solely from this region.

Thanks again to who back in 2020 took our weird brief and made it a reality, we asked for a content dinosaur on the brink of extinction by asteroid and we got it.

We’ve seen many tear up from just a few drops of this, can you handle it?

🦕🦖🌮🌯🌶️

ITS NOT ALL burritos, nachos and quesadillas at our Alton restaurant 🌯 here’s a couple of our signature desserts that we find are a perfect end to any quick lunch or weekend supper 🍷

First up is our incredibly decadent brownie, baked in house and served with dulce de leche ice cream, sat up on a nest of very moreish cacao nibs 🍫

Second is a perfect sharer if you’ve accidentally ordered a large burrito instead of a regular, our crispy, fried and sugary churros fly out all week, we serve them with a white chocolate sauce and dulce de leche 🍩

What puds would you like to see on our menu?
