Over a week ago, Taquería El Califa de León was simply one of Mexico City’s nearly 11,000 registered taco shops, though there are undoubtedly many more that aren’t.
But it was mostly a locally known taco stand.
That day, the Michelin Guide, the world’s most widely recognized arbiter of fine dining, released its first Mexican edition.
Of the 18 establishments in Mexico awarded at least one Michelin star, many of them fancy restaurants, El Califa de León was the only street-food stand.
(Outdoor food stands in other parts of the world have been awarded Michelin stars.)
