What the creator captured
Mike Chen Clips & BEST Eats was deeply impressed by the simplicity and 70-year tradition of the world's first Michelin-starred taco stand, where the focus is on pure meat flavor rather than heavy condiments. He particularly enjoyed the contrast between the minimalist steak tacos and the 'flavor bomb' mixiotes he discovered while walking through the city. His most memorable takeaway was the high quality of fresh, handmade street food found randomly throughout Mexico City.
