Modest Mexican taco restaurant wins Michelin star

"Thinly sliced beef filet is expertly cooked to order, seasoned with only salt and a squeeze of lime. At the same time, a second cook prepares the excellent corn tortillas alongside. The resulting combination is elemental," The Michelen Guide said on its website.

El Califa de Leon is one of 18 restaurants given either one or two stars in the inaugural Michelin Guide Mexico unveiled this week. The Gaonera – which costs a little over four dollars – was created in honor of the celebrated Mexican bullfighter Rodolfo Gaona, whose nickname in the ring was “El Califa de Leon.”“My father said, ‘Do you want me to tell you the secret of the meat? There is no secret,” only “love and effort,” the 66-year-old said outside, his voice full of emotion.

“The tasting menu is constantly evolving. Soon it may reveal delights such as crab and shards of blue corn tostada,” it said.
