About us
Q: What's hotter than an orange flame (FOODGASM logo)?
A: A BLUE flame (EUPHORIA logo)
The same rules as FOODGASM apply, except this group is MAX 6 PPL and some Prepaid Events.
EUPHORIA - will be for smaller groups (6 or fewer), incl some Prepaid Events
FOODGASM - will be for larger groups (7 or more)
AGAPE - will be for faith/charity fundraisers
@i8NYC presents: EUPHORIA is our newest dining group where we meticulously curate harder to book reservations with no more than 8 members per dinner, plus Exclusive Perks and Discounts, VIP Events for Loyal Members! Some places do not allow for larger groups so these dinners will be smaller in scale which means your attendance counts that much more! Warning: OUR DINNERS FILL UP FAST!!! If you like explore new cuisines together with like minded food enthusiasts in a smaller group, look no further! We also rebirthed @i8NYC presents: FOODGASM where we used to go out EVERY NIGHT. You will come to find out that we are the most active group with the BEST places. We also started a new chapter with @i8NYC presents: AGAPE where if you love to serve others, you're in the right place! Heck, join all 3!

$25 & UNDER!!! CDMX Michelin ⭐️ Tacos 🌮 @ EL CALIFA DE LEON 🇲🇽
EL CALIFA DE LEON, 20 W23rd St, New York, NY, USSince Only LIMITED seats, NO CHANGING RSVPS ONCE YOU COMMIT!!! Please RSVP responsibly and take your attendance seriously!!! PLEASE BRING CASH ONLY!!!
We are heading to Flatiron! Opens 8/24! Truth be told, we’ve been making our tacos the exact same way since 1968. We don’t feel like it took us 50 years to earn a Star. It took Michelin 50 years to find us.
Every ingredient is carefully chosen, and every dish reflects our tradition, earning recognition from the Michelin brand for consistency, passion, and excellence. PLEASE BE ON TIME!!! 😊Note: While it made history in 2024 as the first-ever taco stand to win a prestigious Michelin star, the famous Mexico City street-food spot lost the distinction in May 2026. It remains listed as an officially recommended spot in the Michelin Guide, but it no longer holds the active star rating.
# First Look: Inside El Califa de León’s Manhattan Location (EDIBLE MANHATTAN)
Opening August 24, the new outpost of Mexico City’s Michelin-starred taqueria will offer the same menu, only better
Cost: ~$25 (ALL IN)
Menu: (no prices, guesstimate $11/an order of 2 tacos)
Paired off, we will order 3 orders of tacos. You and your partner must agree on selections.SHARED PER 2PPL (CHOICE OF 3)
DRINKS (OPTIONAL)
