Mexico - Mexico City
El Califa de León
By @raquelpastel83
More than seventy years of doing four tacos and doing them right. Gaonera is the icon, thin fillet seared fast and laid gently on a warm tortilla. Bistec, costilla, and chuleta complete a tight set with no extras needed. Few options but worth the wait in this Michelin star rated restaurant.
Address: Av. Ribera de San Cosme 56, San Rafael, Cuauhtémoc, 06470 Ciudad de México, CDMX, México

Tips
Due to the Michelin recognition, be prepared for long lines. Tacos are priced higher than average but are made with larger, hand-made tortillas.
