Message from Mauricio Vite

Taquería El Califa de León is a cozy taco stand in Mexico City that recently snagged a Michelin star for its simple yet delicious offerings. With just four items on the menu, including the famous Gaonera taco, this tiny spot has been dishing out top-notch tacos for over 50 years. Chef Arturo Rivera Martínez keeps it real with his no-frills approach, serving up mouthwatering tacos that are all about quality meat, tortillas, and a squeeze of lime. It may be small in size, but this taco stand packs a big flavor punch that earned it a well-deserved spot in the prestigious Michelin Guide.
