The Michelin Guide, known for its association with fine dining, is evolving under international director Gwendal Poullennec. Recent expansions include recognizing street food, as seen with Taquería El Califa de León earning a star in Mexico City. This reflects the guide's intent to adapt to changing culinary trends, which began with previous honors given to hawker stalls like Hawker Chan and Jay Fai. The upcoming 2025 guide release will determine the long-term impact of this street food recognition, sparking debates about its place in a city with thousands of taco shops.
Its legacy will be remembered as the rock that split the river.
With the 2025 edition of the CDMX guide anticipated to drop sometime in May 2025, it remains to be seen if this was a shooting star destined to dazzle and disappear or if the taquería has long-term staying power.
Michelin created buzz again by awarding one star to a street food eatery: Taquería El Califa de León.
Another method the red book has used to continue influencing dining decisions is to look at different types of restaurants altogether.
