Also means
delicious
Usage Note
Exquisito describes something of exceptionally refined quality — food, taste, manners, or craftsmanship. Applied to food it often simply means 'delicious' in everyday speech. It is a false friend with English 'exquisite' only in degree: while both imply high quality, Spanish exquisito is used more casually for food than the English equivalent. The female form is exquisita.
Examples
"El postre estaba absolutamente exquisito."
Natural Translation
The dessert was absolutely exquisite.
