Newly minted Michelin-starred chef Arturo Rivera Martínez stood over an insanely hot grill yesterday at the first Mexican taco stand ever to get a coveted star from the French dining guide, and did exactly the same thing he's been doing for 20 years: searing meat.
He's also probably the only Michelin-starred chef who, when asked what beverage should accompany his food, answers "I like a Coke".El Califa de León is the only taco stand among the 16 Mexican restaurants given one star, as well as two eateries that got two stars.In fact, other than perhaps one street food stand in Bangkok, El Califa de León is probably the smallest restaurant ever to get a Michelin star.Half of the 9.
He tosses a pinch of salt over it, squeezes half a lime on top, and grabs a soft round of freshly rolled tortilla dough onto the solid metal slab to puff up. "I have never been disappointed. And now I'll recommend it with even more reason, now that it has a star." But the party lost the presidency in 2018 and has gone into a steady decline, and now it's rare to see anyone in a suit here.And Hernández Alonso noted that his father Juan, who founded the business, never bothered to trademark the Califa name and so a well-funded, sleek taco chain has opened about 15 airy restaurants in upscale neighbourhoods under a similar name.
