Chile Mojo is South Australia’s première source for the hard-​to-​find necessities of great Mexican food.

Custom blended seasonings and pre-​mixes make ‘doing it from scratch’ easy.

Chile Mojo has Australia’s LARGEST Hot Sauce selection!

There’s something for every taste (or lack thereof) with sauces ranging from flavourful to fierce with labels that are lurid to laughable. Put the bragger in your circle (could be you?) to the test with our super-​hot sauces; wicked beyond belief! Also check out our marinades, BBQ sauces & drink mixers.

We also have giftware just right for the chile lover in your family, along with party goods, tableware, decorations, and other hot stuff.

History

Established in 2004.

In 2004, the Chile Mojo store was born of necessity. A result of Joel Adams and Morgen Britt’s passion for Mexican cuisine and of all things Chile Pepper. Morgen, born and raised in Adelaide, met Joel while living in Seattle. The Chile Mojo idea was formed during this time as they knew the difficulty of finding essential Mexican ingredients in Australia. Joel and Morgen love these foods and know the Australian public does too. They wanted to be able to cook great Mexican meals at home, and decided to share what they found.

Chile Mojo opened it’s doors on October 1^st 2004, on The Parade in Norwood and has since moved ’round the corner to 381 Magill Road, St Morris. More space, more parking and much much more in store.
