El Califa de León Offers Tacos in Chicago

Troy Guard, a Denver restaurateur, has launched a late-night take-out window at his Los Chingones location, aiming to address the city's limited post-dinner dining options. Open from 8:30 p.m. to midnight, the window offers discounted Mexican dishes in an area with heavy foot traffic from concerts and events. Meanwhile, in Chicago, the only Michelin-starred taco stand from Mexico, El Califa de León, has partnered with Tacombi for a limited-time pop-up that drew long lines of eager foodies waiting for hours to sample its acclaimed tacos. This pop-up features four signature tacos, including the highly praised Gaonera, and is a rare opportunity for Chicagoans to experience this celebrated taqueria's offerings. El Califa de León, known for its dedication to quality and authentic preparation, gained its Michelin star earlier this year and has become a culinary sensation. The collaboration highlights the growing trend of high-quality, quick dining options becoming more accessible in urban areas.
