The burnt cheesecake ($22 for two small tarts) at Esquina is more tart than cake, but we love it anyway. Think a crisp crust holding together a slightly burnt crown and soft, melty filling. Burppler Cafehoppingkids says "the cheese flavour was slightly more pungent and less complex, probably given the higher ratio of blue cheese."
