Updated with Menu: See below.
For the second time this year, LA’s celebrity chef, Katsuji Tanabe, will be bringing his Mexikosher dishes to NYC for one-day only, on Tuesday, December 15th.
As was the case in March at this first pop-up, it will be held again at Pitopia on W37th st. off of Broadway. The restaurant’s typical hours are 11-11 but these may change for this one-day pop-up event.
Menu items are the same as they were back in March:
$16.95 for a choice of a burrito or 3 tacos of the following:
- Birria – lamb braised in banana leaves with guajillo sauce for 10 hours.
- Carnitas – brisket confit in duck fat.
- Pollo a la pibil – mayan style chicken, with a mix of aromatic and sweet flavors from the region.
- Sides – all dishes come with fried black beans and rice with a choice of different garnish from guacamole, pico de gallo, cilantro, pickled red onions, escabeche de carrots with jalapenos, and grilled cactus and more
- Salsas – Mango habanero, chipotle, salsa verde ,and salsa rojo

I like it, although I do not understand people waiting outside to buy falafel. Perhaps they are in need of more tea. Sometimes canned food makes less mess around.
Robert, Pitopia is just the venue for the popup. People are waiting to get Mexikosher. Not falafel.
Aaaaa, that was good. Sorry.
I had the good fortune to be able to visit Mexikosher in L.A. earlier this year. Highly recommend. Really looking forward to the popup.
