No. 41 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: QUESADILLERÍA

"Quesadilla" is a popular dish from Mexican cuisine consisting of two tortillas with cheese and often meat or other fillings in between cooked on a griddle or stovetop. A "quesadillería" is a restaurant that specializes in these, such as this one next to Alameda de Santa María in Mexico City.

The word quesadilla is formed from the Spanish word "queso" (cheese) and the suffix "-illa" (indicating something that is small or endearing).

@blag Thanks for the link! I have a sastrería sign photo in my collection that I'll be posting eventually.
Hell yeah, I’m interested in cheese between tortillas.
