Including Mexican cheesecake, a worthy pork cutlet, an Oprah-approved hotdog, an untraditional carbonara that even wins over Italians, and more.
Flan de queso, La Popular Taqueria
The saying “save room for dessert” has never been more urgent than when visiting La Popular in Port Adelaide. The taqueria’s flan de queso is the stuff sweet dreams are made of: a glossy burnt sugar base supporting a silky cream cheese flan with hints of vanilla and cinnamon, and a drizzle of caramelised syrup that you’ll be chasing with your spoon. It’s impossibly smooth, practically melting the moment it hits your mouth. Order whatever you like for dinner, but don’t you dare skip this dessert. – Stacey Caruso, contributor
