Unos tacó sobrevalorados no es la gran cosa para el precio que los dan, en otros lados hay mejores y por mejor precio no sería unos tacos que iría constantemente la atención es buena

Los tacos están bien de buen tamaño pero les hace falta sabor, la señora de al lado que te da mesa súper amable

El Califa de León in Mexico City’s San Rafael proves great food doesn’t need polish. This 70-year-old, standing-room-only taquería earned a MICHELIN Star for doing four tacos—bistec, chuleta, costilla, and the signature gaonera—exceptionally well. Handmade tortillas, simply seasoned meats, and perfect consistency make it worth the hype. Unassuming but absolutely worth the visit.
