🌮 Pita Jungle in downtown Phoenix is collaborating with Erick Pineda, the chef behind popular Mexican pop-up concept Requinto, for a one-night-only event during this week’s First Friday Art Walk.
“In an effort to build on our tradition of rotating locally curated art on our walls, we are excited to show off local culinary artists through our burgeoning pop-up kitchen,” Pita Jungle co-founder Bassel Osmani says.
Pineda, best-known for his weekend brunch at Linger Longer Lounge in uptown Phoenix, specializes in Mexican comfort food from his home state of Guerrero, but will be creating Mexican-Mediterranean fusion dishes for the 6-9 p.m. event Friday.
On the menu: chorizo-flavored hummus with pita, turmeric mole with wood-fired cauliflower (pictured), chile relleno tacos, Acapulco-style shrimp cocktails, chorizo huarache, and Guerrero-style elopozole. (The first three dishes are vegetarian.)
