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
