Exciting New Pop-Up Brings Central Mexican Cuisine to Greenway Plaza | Eater Houston

"A temporary pop-up focused on Central Mexican cuisine, now operating daily inside a restaurant incubator in Greenway Plaza through the end of June. The project was launched by former Xochi and Underbelly pastry chef Stephanie Velasquez and chef Nicolas Vera after a culinary trip to Mexico City, and the team has been hosting pop-ups since November. Vera oversees the savory program, centering a Veracruz-style mole that’s aged for 200 days and used to dress items such as crispy chicken wings and ribs al pastor, while Velasquez handles inventive pastries and sweets—think cacao-spiked conchas and other Mexican pastries, with hopes that creations like matcha tres leches will appear. The operation’s name is pronounced “kla-whok.”" - Amy McCarthy
