For those who love meat dishes, you will definitely enjoy "asado", a popular Latin American dish. In Argentina, "asado" refers to grilled meat. It's delicious and typically enjoyed with chimichurri sauce and a glass of red wine.
If you have a sweet tooth, try "tres leches cake", a traditional Mexican dessert. It's a sponge cake soaked in three types of milk, namely whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. It's a rich, creamy dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
