Mexico is known for its great diversity of excellent food across the country. Since the beginning, people from all over have migrated to Mexico City to become “Chilangos” themselves and add to the vast local food scene with their blend of ingredients, great flavors, and cooking techniques that come to life in thousands of “puestos” or street “taquerías”.
Born and raised in Mexico City, owners Ramon and Fernando grew up eating from the street taco stands. In a quest to create the best and most authentic Mexico City experience for guests in Houston, they brought the recipes and flavor profiles from their favorite taco stands, some were given, some were bought, and some were stolen. They are unapologetically bold and authentic with the freshest ingredients, which means just like in any taco stand, you won’t find a freezer, a microwave, or a can opener anywhere in sight. Staying true to their roots; if it isn’t found on the menu of a street taco stand there, you won’t find it here. At La Calle they are striving to deliver the experience of Mexico City to the world, one taco at a time.
