As someone who usually thinks of quesadillas as simple comfort food, I was blown away by The Camino’s Quesadilla. As soon as I saw popped corn and hibiscus flowers on the menu, I knew I had to try it. This unexpected duo sets the stage for a tortilla stuffed with gooey Queso Oaxaca and Cotija cheeses, creating a creamy, melty filling that’s anything but typical. The in-house tortillas, made from nixtamalized corn sourced from Oaxaca and Puebla, bring an incredible depth of flavor and texture — aromatic, earthy and perfectly elastic. The pickled jalapeños add a tangy punch, while the spring onion mayo brings a creamy, zesty finish that ties everything together. Each bite delivers a delightful balance of sweet, spicy and savory, with textures that keep your taste buds on their toes. If you think you know quesadillas, think again. This one might redefine your expectations.
