Michelin Guide Mexico Debuts With Stars for These Restaurants - AFAR

"A tiny, 100-square-foot taco stall in the San Rafael neighborhood that became the first taco stand to earn a Michelin star, it operates with no tables or stools and a two-person crew — chef Arturo Riviera Martinez on the grill and an assistant pressing fresh corn tortillas — serving four made-to-order tacos (bistec, chuleta, constilla, and gaonera) simply with lime and optional homemade red or green salsa. Riviera Martinez says the secret is simplicity and the quality of the meat, Michelin inspectors praised the high-quality ingredients and technical ability, and at about $5 per taco the offerings are expensive by local taco-stand standards but a bargain for a Michelin-star meal (Riviera Martinez recommends pairing it with a Coke)." - Katherine Alex Beaven
