Mexico City's First Michelin-Starred Taco Stand Celebrated for Simplicity and Quality

Tacos El Califa de León achieves historic recognition by maintaining its traditional approach since 1968.

  • Chef Arturo Rivera Martínez continues the same cooking methods that earned the Michelin star.
  • The stand offers only four taco varieties, all made from high-quality beef cuts.
  • The tiny 9.29 square-meter space features a grill heated to 360°C, enhancing the meat's flavor.
  • Customers stand to eat due to limited space and surrounding street vendors.
  • Despite high prices by local standards, the stand's tacos are praised for their exceptional quality.
