If you are looking for Mexican desserts in Palma, La Vasca es Mexicana offers a sweet ending closely connected to its concept: a menu that brings Mexico together with northern Spain. Here, dessert does not break away from the experience, but completes it with recognisable flavours, Mexican touches and a very present Basque influence.
Located on Carrer de Bonaire, La Vasca es Mexicana works with a Basque-Mexican fusion proposal where tacos, antojitos, tequila, margaritas and mezcal sit alongside ingredients and references from the north. That same idea also reaches the sweet part of the menu.
The dessert selection is short, direct and easy to understand: Basque cheesecake, mezcal chocolate truffle and Mexican torrija. Three different options to close the meal depending on the kind of ending you are in the mood for.
A sweet ending between Mexico and the north
The desserts at La Vasca es Mexicana keep the contrast that defines the restaurant. On one side, there are flavours linked to Mexico, such as mezcal, dulce de leche and cinnamon. On the other, there is a clear northern reference with the Basque cheesecake.
The idea is not to offer an endless dessert menu, but three very specific endings:
- Basque cheesecake: creamy, with honey and walnuts.
- Mezcal chocolate truffle: intense, with notes of mezcal and a subtle spicy touch.
- Mexican torrija: caramelised, with dulce de leche and hints of cinnamon.
Three different ways to finish the meal: one more Basque, one more intense and one more indulgent.
Basque cheesecake: the classic that always works
The Basque cheesecake is one of the most recognisable options on the menu. Creamy, served with honey and walnuts, it connects directly with the northern side that forms part of the identity of La Vasca es Mexicana.
It is the perfect dessert for those who want to play it safe. Familiar, sweet and easy to share, it usually manages to bring the whole table into agreement. Or almost, because there is always someone who claims not to want dessert and then appears with a spoon ready. Human mystery at its finest.
Mezcal chocolate truffle
The mezcal chocolate truffle represents the most Mexican and grown-up side of the dessert menu. It is small, intense and direct, with chocolate, notes of mezcal and a subtle spicy touch.
It works very well for anyone who wants to finish with something sweet without ordering a large dessert. It also fits especially well after a meal of tacos, antojitos or quesadillas, because it keeps that spiced and distinctive character of the restaurant.
Mexican torrija with dulce de leche and cinnamon
The Mexican torrija is probably the most indulgent dessert on the menu. It is served caramelised, with dulce de leche and hints of cinnamon, a combination that brings together texture, sweetness and a very aromatic finish.
It is an ideal option to share in the centre of the table, especially if the meal has gradually built up through guacamole, tacos and margaritas. It is the kind of dessert ordered “just to try” and then disappears at suspicious speed.
What dessert to order at La Vasca es Mexicana
If you are not sure what to choose, a simple way to decide is to think about the kind of ending you want for the meal:
- To play it safe: Basque cheesecake.
- For something intense: mezcal chocolate truffle.
- For a more indulgent ending: Mexican torrija.
- To share: cheesecake or torrija.
- To pair with mezcal: mezcal chocolate truffle.
The advantage of this sweet menu is that each dessert has a very clear character. No need to overthink it, which is always a delightful novelty when several people at the table start having opinions.
