Provecho: Real Mexican Food at Home

‘Prepare to be blown away: Daniella’s food is a complete embrace of the senses. Mexico on a plate.’ - Costa Georgiadis ‘As a lover of tacos and all things Mexican, Daniella’s La Popular Taqueria is the ONLY place in Australia I get my fix. I grew up in California and later on in Merida, Mexico, and I crave the kind of food Daniella makes. Now, everyone can experience her wonderful cooking in Provecho - it has it all for those craving all things Mexico!’ - Scott (Spiral Stairs) Kannberg from Pavement

Daniella is a Mexican cook who grew up in the Iztapalapa borough of Mexico City. A marine biologist, she worked as the director of Puerto Morelos Marine Park on the Yucatan Peninsula before her 2012 move to Adelaide (with her academic husband Kor-jent van Dijk) sparked a delicious career change. In Adelaide, Daniella’s passions for community, food and Mexico could shine, and her and Kor’s underground dinner series, Mi Mero Mole, enjoyed a cult following before their traditional taqueria, Port Adelaide’s La Popular Taqueria, opened in 2017. La Popular Taqueria is now one of Australia’s most acclaimed Mexican restaurants, while Daniella is increasingly sought after at festivals and in the media for her expertise and knowledge.
