This Hispanic Heritage Month, we had the opportunity to visit El Califa de León (@califadeleontacos) and meet with restaurateur Sebastian Schwarz.

Founded in 1968 by Juan Hernández González in Mexico City, El Califa de León is the world’s first-ever Michelin-starred taqueria. Now in its third generation as a family-owned business, the iconic taqueria has brought its celebrated culinary techniques to the heart of Flatiron.

Sebastian shares what makes El Califa de León unique, the importance of preserving traditions, and what Hispanic Heritage Month means as a new small business in the community.
