Why do we work with Taquería El Caifán instead of a street taco stand?

At Lucha Mexico Experience, we believe in conscious and responsible tourism. That’s why we carefully select our partners. Taquería El Caifán meets several key criteria that are essential to us:

  1. Food safety and quality:
    As a host to both locals and international visitors, we must guarantee basic standards of hygiene, access to clean water, proper food handling, and available restroom facilities. This is especially important for travelers who may not be accustomed to Mexico’s street food.

  2. Authenticity with structure:
    Although part of a small restaurant group, El Caifán maintains traditional recipes, employs local staff, and offers an atmosphere that reflects the real, contemporary taquería experience in Mexico City — without diluting it for tourists. It’s a safe gateway to real local flavors.

  3. Formality with a local heart:
    We choose to work with legally registered businesses that promote decent employment, secure tipping practices, and labor responsibility, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth). We prefer small, locally rooted groups over large corporate chains.

  4. Strategic location and urban connection:
    The taquería is located in the heart of Mexico City, making it easily accessible and allowing guests to better understand the city’s urban dynamics before moving seamlessly toward the lucha libre arena.

  5. Scalability without losing identity:
    As hosts, we aim to deliver an experience that is consistent, scalable, and safe, while preserving cultural respect. This collaboration allows us to offer quality and authenticity every time, without romanticizing marginalization or exposing guests to unnecessary risks.
