De Cabeza El Unico

Chula Vista, San Diego · Mexican · $$

Cabeza de res en su jugo is a northern Mexican method, Sinaloa and Sonora more than Baja: the entire cow head simmers for hours until cheek, tongue, eyes and brains fall off the bone into their own broth. The owner spent eleven years cooking at Aqui Es Texcoco before taking over the space and turning it into the best cow-head counter in the county. Order a taco surtido to taste everything at once, then a half-pound cabeza bowl with handmade tortillas when you know what you like.
