  • El Califa de León is a Mexico City taqueria that's been serving delicious tacos since 1968. The famous French Michelin Guide has awarded the taco stand one of their coveted stars, making it the first taqueria ever to receive one. Their menu is simple: four types of tacos and two house-made salsas, always crafted with the freshest ingredients. At only 10-feet wide, most people stand to eat the delicacies offered at El Califa de León.

    Had my first mexican food for the first time today, as a Chinese person we have never tried mexican food before but when i first tasted it the spices were totally different from the ones we have in China
    Edit: I meant to say the chili's just taste totally different to the ones we have in China generally our ones tend to be specier but Mexican ones have some kind of different flavour that I bet most Chinese have never tasted before
    Also in terms of spices India and China tends to share a bit of similar spices just a bit while Mexico has it totally different from what we have
