"If Bush wins again, I'm moving to Canada or Mexico." Think back to 2004. This phrase was a common…read morerefrain. I heard it often and across a large swath of the country. I said I'd always be impressed if I saw someone live up to their word and make the move. Now spring forward to 2009. Mexico. Tlalpan. An adorable, cozy, dimly lit cafe, bar that feels like it was lifted from Brooklyn and plopped right down here. Then, hours into the first night there, we met the owner and his girlfriend / wife, and lo... she's from Jersey, moving to Mexico after saying "if Bush wins again, I'm moving." And she did. And she's helping run this bar which was such a warm welcome on our 20 day trek through a new city. Tucked away on the backside of a courtyard square off the center of Tlalpan is a small door with a small bar, smattering of tables and couches, and then upstairs an even cozier collection of seats. The bar serves Cossack ale, which we learned is made a lot like the traditional way of chica: you dig a hole in dirt then let the ale / booze ferment in it, then barrel it. Yes, pretty gnarly, but the barnyard funk takes you back in a good way. I checked their updates over the past couple of years and it looks just the same, they're still serving this Cossack ale, which the owner said wasn't too many other places, if at all, and I've never found it online or anywhere else in DF. We stayed at the Fiesta Inn which is just on the other side of the Perefico Sur, so you can cross the bridge, and walk straight into the town square for this bar. If you're traveling for anything at Estadio Azteca, and staying at any nearby hotel, this is a wonderful little jaunt into a hole in the wall that will give you a warm welcome to your visit. And if you're a local reading this, consider yourself lucky because it doesn't take another Bush to win or lose for me to consider moving to this neighborhood.

Casual and nice setting. They quickly seated our party of 8 and provided good service. They offer WiFi so that was also nice. One other thoughtful amenity was that they had an electrical outlets on both sides of each table so we could charge our phones. Very much appreciated that since many of us were running low on battery. The salad was delicious but the pizza...OMG it sooo good!! We ordered the Pinky Warrior which stole the show so we ended ordering it again. The other pizza was also delicious...but the Pinky Warrior was exceptional. The dough was fantastic and complimented the toppings very well. Word of advice though, ask for the Serrano Chiles on the side as they are super spicy...and I mean really spicy!! The mixed drinks were also very good.

To share, we got the tomato burrata toast, short rib ravioli, cacio y pepe pasta and what they're known for - the chicken Parmesan. Our server was very kind and attentive. The tomatoes in the appetizer tasted so fresh, and the bread was very flavorful! I thought both of the pasta dishes were flavorful but al dente, could've used 1-2 minutes more cook time. The short rib was delicious though. The chicken parm was the star of the meal; it came out on a platter and the server slowly poured sauce all over it. I still don't understand if this was one piece of chicken - it was huge! Literally more than a foot wide. The four of us couldn't even finish it and we had to take leftovers home. Not the best Italian American I've had but everything was overall very solid!
