Tiny Taco Stand Wins Michelin Star
El Califa de León is a Mexico City taqueria that's been serving delicious tacos since 1968. The famous French Michelin Guide has awarded the taco stand one of their coveted stars, making it the first taqueria ever to receive one. Their menu is simple: four types of tacos and two house-made salsas, always crafted with the freshest ingredients. At only 10-feet wide, most people stand to eat the delicacies offered at El Califa de León.

I'm glad that taco stand is in Mexico. I thought it was going to be one of these sidewalk. Taco stands in Southern California.

Had my first mexican food for the first time today, as a Chinese person we have never tried mexican food before but when i first tasted it the spices were totally different from the ones we have in China Edit: I meant to say the chili's just taste totally different to the ones we have in China generally our ones tend to be specier but Mexican ones have some kind of different flavour that I bet most Chinese have never tasted before Also in terms of spices India and China tends to share a bit of similar spices just a bit while Mexico has it totally different from what we have

@adams.6911 There is a Mexican comedy show called “Nosotros Los Guapos”. In one episode, one of the main characters is kneading dough. Sweat drips into it. That batch sells really well and the owner of the bakery requests the guy baking it “to keep doing whatever he’s doing.” It’s pretty much the same scenario you suggested! 😆
Perfect person for it ❤️

Check the opinions of the place before going on Google Maps, especially those from before winning the Michelin star, do not be carried away by advertising, in Mexico there is better gastronomy than the one that won this award

This has to be a joke.
Looks like a pretty basic taco to me and I can still get them that cheap in California. Don't get me wrong, I'd try it but it doesn't look like anything special.
Few things can beat a good taco
No
I try taco-Mexican and taco-California both doesn’t taste the same . even if u had Mexican-soda and California-soda both doesn’t taste the same. If u had California-chips and Mexican-Chips both doesn’t taste the same. If u guys already then each one of u guys noticed .
