Since the 1960s, Taquería El Califa de León in the San Rafael neighbourhood of Mexico City has been attracting a dedicated clientele for tacos that prioritise quality tortillas and exceptional meat.
Serving just four dishes – all a variation of the beef taco – the 10ft-by-10ft taco stand has become the third street food vendor in the world to receive a Michelin star, with the guide naming the food ‘elemental and pure’.
