It warmed my heart yesterday to read about this small taco restaurant that won a Michelin star:
Taquería El Califa de León
Cuisine: Mexican
There is a reason why El Califa de León has endured for more than half a century. This taqueria may be bare bones with just enough room for a handful of diners to stand at the counter but its creation, the Gaonera taco, is exceptional. 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 and pure. Other options are few but excellent, and include bistec (beef steak), chuleta (pork chop), and costilla (beef rib). With meat and tortillas of this caliber, the duo of house-made salsas is hardly even necessary.

This photograph is making my mouth water!
I found low-carb tortillas yesterday and wonder how hard it would be to try and replicate this dish. Unfortunately, there’s no way to mimic the atmosphere that makes El Califa so special.

Wonderful and delish!
