La Once Mil taquería awarded Michelin star

La Once Mil has joined the Michelin Guide’s 2026 Mexico selection with one star, giving Mexico City a new taquería in the starred ranks. Michelin’s official restaurant page lists La Once Mil in Miguel Hidalgo as “One Star: High quality cooking,” and the guide’s 2026 Mexico roundup says the latest selection was revealed on May 20 in Jalisco. El Financiero reported on May 21 that the taquería has drawn celebrity visits including singer Maluma and highlighted tacos priced at 335 pesos. Infobae separately reported that El Califa de León, the Mexico City taquería that had become a global reference point after winning a star in 2024, lost that distinction in the 2026 guide. ### When did La Once Mil actually get the star? Michelin said on May 20 that the 2026 Michelin Guide Mexico selection was unveiled at its ceremony in Jalisco. In its official roundup, the guide said 29 restaurants in Mexico hold stars in the 2026 selection, including seven newcomers. La Once Mil appears on Michelin’s official site as a one-star restaurant in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City. Michelin’s page describes the restaurant’s handmade tortillas and says the kitchen works with multiple varieties cooked to order. ### What kind of place is La Once Mil? El Financiero reported on May 21 that La Once Mil is a taquería in Mexico City that has attracted celebrity diners, including Maluma. The paper said some of its featured tacos are priced at 335 pesos. Michelin’s own listing places La Once Mil in Miguel Hidalgo rather than presenting it as a conventional fine-dining tasting-counter destination. That makes the award notable within the guide’s Mexico coverage, where taquerías have drawn unusual international attention since Michelin entered the country in 2024. ### How does this compare with El Califa de León? Infobae reported on May 21 and May 22 that El Califa de León lost its Michelin star in the 2026 guide. The outlet said the Mexico City taquería had kept the star after first winning it in 2024. Reuters photographed El Califa de León in May 2024 after it became the first taquería to receive a Michelin star. Infobae said Michelin did not publicly detail the reason for the removal in its report on the 2026 selection. ### How broad was Michelin’s 2026 Mexico list? Michelin said in its 2026 Mexico roundup that 29 restaurants are starred this year. The guide said the new selection spans one-star and two-star restaurants and highlighted seven new starred additions. El Universal, cited in upstream reporting, published broader lists of 2026 Mexican Michelin winners across states including Mexico City, Oaxaca, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Quintana Roo, Nuevo León, Puebla, Jalisco and Yucatán. Michelin’s official Mexico coverage also said the May 20 ceremony in Jalisco was the first time the event was hosted in that state. ### Where can readers check the official listing? Michelin’s official website now carries both La Once Mil’s individual restaurant page and the full 2026 Mexico starred list. The guide’s Mexico and U.S. editions each show La Once Mil as a one-star restaurant in Miguel Hidalgo. The 2026 selection published after the May 20 Jalisco ceremony is the current reference point for Michelin’s Mexico awards, including La Once Mil and the rest of the starred restaurants.
