You even have a bench out next to the stall while you're waiting for the pizza. Very cozy vibes!

We dropped by on a Sunday night and there were multiple people hanging around, but they were able to get through the orders relatively quickly and we got our al pastor pizza within 15 minutes. The pizza was delicious - not typically something you'd expect, but the dough was wonderful and the pineapple & al pastor was a great combo of toppings. The saltiness from the al pastor really helped balance out the sweetness of the pineapple If I had to nitpick, I think there was slightly too much cilantro as a topping, and it kind of overpowered the rest of the pizza. If I got this again, I'd probably ask for it with just a light layer of cilantro instead I'll definitely be back to try the Tejana, which is the refried beans and chorizo pizza. Drop by and check them out - they're right around the corner from Costco! Note - they only take cash/venmo/(and I think Zelle?)

By the time you read this review from the beginning of May, this excellent pop-up restaurant at the…read moreback of the Standard Hotel in a nice little space likely will have passed as unfortunately they're closing on the 31st. The pop-up is here celebrating the 10th anniversary of the popular CDMX restaurant with their menu changing a bit based on what is obtained daily from the Union Square Farmer's Market so if you decide to go, you will very likely have a different menu than what we had but they have most of their general options on their website. Apparently the place is known for their crudo but we stuck with only main dishes. They had a unique drink menu including many Mexican wines but as I unfortunately had a drink/a more expensive meal the previous day, I didn't get a drink but apparently they were working with a speakeasy in Mexico City as well. The best of the mains was the $60 New York Steak listed as 300g with ripe plantain, black mole, chamomile honey, parsley, sesame seeds. The star was of course the mole which was outstanding with a huge mélange of spices with a bit of sweetness, a bit of heat, a bit of smokiness, and a light bit of bitterness and was just a great example of what a black mole can be. The large steak was also cooked a perfect medium rare on both sides of the table (we ordered the same dish twice so 3 people can share per side) regardless of the size of the piece and said bistek went well with the mole. The plantain was a bit odd as it was one whole large plantain which kept the texture more even though my personal preference would be for them to be sliced so there's a bit more of a burnt or roasted texture more similar to other maduros. The "Arroz Con Pollo" for $38 listed as 280g with saffron, chorizo, avocado, and coriander was also very tasty and the 2nd favorite of our group. The portion size was quite large with the rice having a nice yellow tinge from the saffron as well as the various spices with it being cooked down until it was soft though it kept some texture. The pieces of chicken in there were very tender though there wasn't much in there with the biggest meat portion being the chorizo which was well spiced and overall excellent. In terms of the disparity, this very likely was because of the serving we got as I presume this was taken from a very large pot before being topped with the sliced avocado. Speaking of which, the aguacate/avocado worked nicely adding a touch of richness to the dish. The last main dish were the Glazed Short Ribs for $55 with spring carrot and chicharron. The large piece of meat was fork tender and had a nice sauce which I think had a bit of wine among other things which paired nicely with the steak. The fried pork skin added a bit of crunch and the carrots adding a touch of sweetness. This was also good though overall my least favorite main dish though mostly because the other two dishes were so outstanding but I would still recommend it. As the rest of the food was excellent, a few of us decided to order some desserts which were all $16. My easy preference of the two was the Pastel de Elote or in other words the Corn Cake with cajeta, mezcal, caramelized popcorn, vanilla ice cream. The corn cake was soft and barely sweetened which was nice. However the highlight was definitely the cajeta which had a smokiness and a faint alcohol flavor from the mezcal with it reminding me of a much more balanced version of the French Connection; an alcoholic dulce de leche sauce from Aubi & Ramsa. The bit of popcorn was nice along with the ice cream. Pretty tasty was the Torrijas or Toasted Brioche Bread with goat cheese emulsion, organic pure honey, and chili powder which I got to try a bit of. The brioche texture was fine though I wish there was a bit more crispiness with the goat cheese adding a nice light funk. The chili powder added a nice little unique flair to the dish which I haven't seen before and was probably the most notable part about it. Overall, it was well composed though I preferred the former much more. Not much to complain about this pop-up restaurant as the portion sizes were generous and the meats were perfectly prepared. I wish they were going to last longer and I hope they come back to NYC again.
