"Yunia Funes Mata’s tamal pop-up is a passion project offering popular guisos from the Guadalajara native. She offers stringy, beef birria tamales stained with spicy adobo, carnitas in a tangy salsa verde, and a fruity date mole with mushrooms and butternut squash. Mata’s tamal a la Bestia is a nod to her day job at Bestia restaurant in the Arts District, where a mole gifted by chef Ori Menashe is paired with roasted duck lifted straight from the Bestia cookbook. Check Instagram for the pick-up location." - Bill Esparza
