There was more business than usual and some bemused regulars after El Califa de León was rewarded for its ‘exceptional’ offering

There was more business than usual and some bemused regulars after El Califa de León was rewarded for its ‘exceptional’ offeringCity, measures just 3 metres by 3 metres and has space for only about six people to stand at a squeeze. Locals usually wait for 5 minutes between ordering and picking up their food.

The taco comes with infinite variations on a theme. It starts with a corn tortilla folded around a typically meaty filling. Then perhaps onion, coriander and guacamole, before a punch of lime and hot sauce is added.A local woman named Laura said she had been a customer since she was a child and had never had to wait for more than five minutes, even at lunchtime.

“It’s a bit controversial, choosing just this one taco stand,” he added. “Everyone has their favourite taco – it depends where they’re from.” One of the street vendors, David, said he had eaten at El Califa de León a few times. “It’s good. The best tacos in the city? I don’t know.”Inside, El Califa de León is a furnace in a city currently gripped by a heatwave. The four staff – a chef, a meat cutter, a taco roller and a cashier – barely talk, working like a well-oiled machine.
