Data Points

El Califa de León is an unassuming yet iconic taco stand in Mexico City, occupying a mere 3x3 meter space with room for only six standing patrons. Despite its modest appearance, this taco joint made history by becoming the first Mexican taco stand to earn a Michelin star, catapulting it into the ranks of the world's finest dining establishments and attracting unprecedented crowds. Renowned for its signature Gaonera taco, named after bullfighter Rodolfo Gaona, El Califa de León has been serving this specialty since its opening in 1968. The Gaonera features tender beef fillet, simply seasoned with salt and lime, wrapped in a freshly made tortilla, and accompanied by green or red salsa. Michelin praised the taco for its exceptional quality and elemental purity.
