De Cabeza /El Único

I have heard time and time again that San Diego had the best Mexican food and I agree. While I've lived here for 4 years, I have always just had my go to spots. Today I decided to try a new place and I'm so glad I did! De Cabeza had such great reviews on here so I decided to try them out. I walked in and they seated me right away. They were very sweet and kind and the restaurant itself was very inviting. There were lots of decorations on the walls of Mexican ranch style decor as well. I ordered a couple tacos de Maciza (head meat), Langua (tongue), El Dorado Pastor (matinated meat asada), and chicharron prensado (pork belly). I also got a quesadilla soy carne asada. The meciza was so tender, great flavor and the tortilla was freshly made ao it was nicely holding a the flavors. The Langua was very tender and also an enjoyable bit. The el Dorado Pastor taco hit me with so much flavor it was delicious! But then the heat snuck up on me. It was pretty spicy! Really enjoyable and packed either flavor! The tacos de Maciza (head meat), Langua (tongue), El Dorado Pastor (matinated meat asada), and chicharron prensado (pork belly). was well marinated and super tender finely chopped pork belly with a tiny touch of heat as well! I think it was my favorite honestly I wasn't expect it to be so good. And the quesadilla with carne asada was pretty decent, the cheese melted nicely too. I appreciated how quickly the food came out, the access to salsa and lots of limes on the table and the water which the server ensured my cup stayed full. Over all I'm so glad I tried somewhere new, it was exactly what I was looking for! Ill definitely be back soon!

Very chill atmosphere but way nicer than most taco shops. Owner and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Now the food.... I am guilty of sticking to the basics so I tried the asada and pastor tacos since it was my first time. Didn't disappoint!!! The meat had abeautiful char taste in every bite and the smoked habanero salsa is amazing. I cant wait to go back and try his cabeza specialty.

This place has some delicious tacos! When it arrives, it's hard to tell what is what, but the flavors are oh so good! I recommend the lamb, lengua, and cochinita pibil! The consomme was comforting and so nice to have with the tacos! Some people may be weirded out by the floating fat in it, but not this chica! Yummo!

I was apprehension about driving all the way to chula from north county but it was so worth it. I got cabeza, lengua, tripa, and cochinita tacos, all were so good with cabeza being my fav! The owner came out to talk with us and he was so nice, you can also hear him singing every once in a while. Feels like family!

11/10. This place is an incredibly unique taco experience and a San Diego hidden gem. The lamb head was insane and some of the best tacos I’ve ever had, the meat was tender and flavorful and the portion could easily feed 2-4 people. Such a great deal especially because it includes their incredible corn tortillas, onions and cilantro, and salsa. They can prepare the meat for you if you’d like (without having to see the head). I asked them to show me the head first and then prepare it and they were happy to accommodate. The staff are incredible, super friendly and you could tell they love their food and getting to share it. If you’re looking for a unique, adventurous, and delicious Mexican food experience this is the place! I can’t wait to come back. (They also have all the traditional taco and other delicious food too if cabeza is too adventurous for ya)

Loved this place! The food was amazing 😮‍💨, the service was super friendly, and it honestly felt like being at a real (fancy) taquería in Mexico. I’ll definitely be back!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while because cabeza is my favorite taco! We were recommended to order a pound of meat for our party of five (one child). It came with broth for the adults and good quality tortillas. We also ordered chapulines (grasshoppers), taco de sesos (brain), de chicharrón, de cochinita pibil, and taquitos dorados. Se wanted to try lengua as well so we added 1/2 of lengua. Everything was delicious! Cabeza is a very tender meat, fatty, buttery, with lots of flavor. Lengua was also very tender and was my kid's favorite. Chapulines we're crunchy, seasoned with salt and lemon, and a little bit spicy. Both of their salsas were also great. We enjoyed the ambiance. There's plenty of parking in this shopping center. The waitresses kept checking on us and making sure we were taken care of. The owner also came by and checked on us. They have a large selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I highly recommend this spot in Chula Vista!

A friend recommended this place to me and I was very impressed!! Everything was tasty but for me the two standouts were the Cochinita pibil (super juicy and flavorful) and the huitlacoche which had that delicious umami flavor. Reasonably priced and fast service. The restaurant was small and clean. I will definitely be coming back

Jesús, the owner, is the man. We went on a taco tour for the day around SD and his were the best so far. We got maciza (cow head meat) and carne asada -- all incredible. Go there!

I wanted good tacos near the event we were going to. This place surpassed my expectations. The server was very nice. My Spanish isn't very good, and her English wasn't that good, but we figured it out. The cheek and tongue tacos were very good, but the stars were the quesadillas. The truffle and squash blossom were so good! The flavors worked very well together. I would probably drive 30min to eat here again.

This restaurant has become our go-to spot for tacos. I've even introduced a lot of my friends and family here. But I'm knocking down another star because I feel like the waitresses are dishonest. If you order a michelada they automatically bring you the large 32 oz one. The 1st time I ever came here I asked if there was a smaller size and the waitress said no. The next time I came here, it was a different waitress and I asked about sizes and she said there was in fact TWO sizes. I was surprised and confused. I came back another time and it was the first waitress and when I asked for a small michelada, she told me there was only a large size. I told her the last time I came here, I was able to order the small size. She was quiet, walked away, and brought me the small size.. I feel like they are trying to upsell the larger size which I understand it's a business and you have to do what you have to do. But please don't lie to your customers or withhold information. Also another heads up, beware that when they ask if you'd like consome after you're done ordering, it is not free. Usually from my experience when I'm offered consome, it's complimentary, but not here. It's just so strange the way the waitresses offer it here as if it's free. Very misleading. I've never experienced this anywhere else. I went here over the weekend and we were checked on SO MANY times. It was uncomfortable. We felt like they were trying to kick us out since we were sitting in the corner and it looked like we were the last ones left. As we left we realized there were plenty of people still seated and eating. I've never come here and been checked on so many times. In fact, sometimes when I come here it's hard to even find someone to help us. My friends arrived before I did and was offered "free peppers" so they accepted it. When I arrived and they told me what happened I was confused because nothing is free here. Lo and behold, we were charged for it. It wasn't much but it was again, the dishonesty. I will continue to dine here for the amazing Al pastor tacos. The owner and manager are also very nice and always greet us with a smile, as they do remember us each time we dine in. But, the waitresses here I am very cautious about.

Love coming to this restaurant every time I come into town. This time, I came with a group of friends. They each loved the food and enjoyed the service. Collectively, we ate 35 tacos of all different kinds. My personal favorite is lengua/tongue; however, they preferred tripas/tripe. Whichever ones you end up choosing will not be wrong. The flavor, size/portions, and cost of these tacos cannot be beat anywhere else. Thank you De Cabeza el único! Nos veremos de nuevo pronto.

Every taco I had was absolutely fantastic, but ordering by the pound took it to another level. The side soup? Pure genius! It perfectly complements the tacos and makes every bite even better. This spot is hands down one of my favorites, and I'll keep coming back. 5/5, no question!

Best pork belly tacos I ever had. Service is great. Very nice people. Can't wait to dine again when in the area.

So far the customer service was great! Very welcoming and friendly!! The ambiance is as very chill and music was nice!! We ordered Chiles toreados, consomé, tacos tripa,lengua,cabeza, chicharrón prensado!! Everything was tasty!! Savory and delicious!! It's just a burst of flavor in my mouth!! So much love into cooking the meats for your tacos!! Perfectly seasoned and made!! The tacos come overloaded with meat and ingredients so make sure you know you will probably get full quick!! And have leftover because they aren't stingy at all!! La tripita bien dorada yum and the lengua omg!! Yes I am doing Spanglish!! Great food does this to you!!! The cook! The chef definitely doing something great here!!! El sazon está increíble!! El servicio súper atento y amable!! Definitivamente nuestro lugar para venir a comer algo rico!!! Oh by the way! The portions are good size!

Not only did my date have me try a bunch of tacos from here, but he thought it would be great if I tried grasshopper. I thought it was good until the stomach burst, then I couldn't eat the rest. I hope I provided the wonderful staff with some entertainment as I tried it. For the price, these tacos are worth coming back for. However, it really depended on the kind of taco on whether or not we'd get it again. My date and I were most excited to try their lengua taco and, sadly, it was really bland and unenjoyable. On the bright side, I really liked their Quesataco, Taceo de Chorizo Verde, Tripa, Chicharron Prensado. Since I had my dog with me, they sat us in the back corner right underneath the tv. Unfortunately, this meant I had a very hard time hearing anything besides the tv. Other than that and the grasshopper, my experience overall was very pleasant.

So glad my sister found this spot! We came here for a family dinner and got so many different things off of the menu to try and were pretty pleased with what we got. What I got/tried: - Horchata: ok, so this was a little disappointing. The size was generous, but it was a little gritty -- kind of like it needed to be strained a little more or something. - Chapulines: These were crispy and crunchy. Although this might be a personal preference, but they were just a little too sour for my taste. But it pairs well when eating it with the other items we ordered. - Taco Lengua and Pastor: both were flavorful, tender, delicious - Flan Ferrero and Mazapan: both were sweet and really yummy! They both had the flavor profile they advertised, but in a way that was not overpowering. Note that, like many other places, they do add a surcharge to parties of I believe +6. I would definitely come back -- the food was delicious, the price point was great, the vibe was also nice as well and the service was also amazing! The lady taking our order was kind and patient with us even though we kept adding more tacos throughout our dinner lol. The owner of the establishment also stopped by to converse with our table, which was nice.

This place has a lively ambiance and friendly service. I went into the restaurant to order tacos to go while visiting San Diego. I wanted the type of tacos that I don't normally find where I live. I was able to get tacos de mixto cabeza, tacos de lengua, tacos de cachete, and tacos de asada. All of the tacos were filling and had a generous portion size. The tacos were also flavorful and just delicious overall. My favorite tacos was the lengua. The server was friendly as well as the other staff I encountered. There is plenty of parking. I highly recommend!

Delicious tacos and they're cheaper than Tacos El Gordo! I ordered a few tacos including carne asada, al pastor, head, cheek and mix. I had them to go so I don't know between the head, cheek and mix but they were all good! The al pastor and carne asada was delicious too. We'll definitely be back! There's seating too. Since I did take out I ordered at the counter, otherwise they seat you and give you a menu.

Decent size Mexican restaurant. Simple and cool decors. The service is excellent. I got helped right away when I first stepped in. The server was helpful and friendly. The tacos I ordered came out very good. I will be back again.

I always go to this restaurant and it's amazing. I love the customer service everything's fast and they're really welcoming. The food is delicious. My favorite are the tacos. It's one of my top restaurants in San Diego and if I could recommend it, I would for sure do it because everything about this restaurant is super good.

This place is friggin awesome! Everything is so good! They do it right here! Got the 1 pound deal with chiles toreados guac etc. good atmosphere inside, service is on point.

Nothing to write home about. All the tacos tasted pretty much the same. Did the Maciza Taco, Cachete Taco, and Lengua Taco. Nothing stood out. Horchata was over $5 and also average. Was between a 2 and a 3 but the server was nice so I gave it a 3. Left hungry due to small portions and am now on lunch #2 down the street due so. Won't be returning.

Came here with coworkers for lunch and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing! I had tacos de lengua and I had ordered them quesotaco style but I thought it would just be the tortilla and add cheese but no...the cheese was the tortilla! Great if you're keto! The staff were initially very attentive when we first sat down but were slow on refills and coming back to the table to check on us while we ate. The restaurant was really warm inside also, a bit stuffy but overall the food tasted amazing and because of that I'd come back!!

Food was AMAZING!!!! Atmosphere was great!!! Service was great!!! Authentic Mexican food and the best I've had!!! Have to try it out!

We had just gotten lunch in the area, but I've been wanting to go to De Cabeza el Unico so we stopped by. We ran into the chef outside as my husband was saying a michelada sounded good. The chef has incredible energy and proudly told us they had the best micheladas. Each michelada comes with a giant 32oz beer. I don't even like micheladas and had to admit that this one was really delicious. They make their michelada mix in house and it was definitely noticeable. Since we had just eaten dinner lunch, we intended only on trying one or two tacos but I saw that they had huitloche, which I've always wanted to try. We got a lengua, cochinita pibil, and huitloche to start. The huitloche had a very strong flavor that I wasn't used to, and though I'm glad I tried it, I probably won't order it again. The cochinita pibil was solid, but the lengua (tongue) was amazing. Thick chunks of tender (but not too tender) tongue. Probably one of my favorite lengua tacos I've had! It was so good we needed to get a cachete (cheek) and a cup of consome to try. Everything was incredible. Like truly amazing. It's clear how much love and care goes into their food there and the chef clearly has alot to be proud of. We finished with a slice of flan de mazapan. The nutty mazapan went really well with the darker sugar taste. Overall this was amazing and we'll be back. Next time, we'll get the whole head and a fried cheese and guacamole for sure.

This is probably my favorite spot in SD for cow head meat. The tacos are simple: single corn tortilla with meat, onions/cilantro, and salsa. The head meat is so tender and tasty. I also usually get the consomé with meat on the side. They also don't skimp on the limes. There's always parking available when I stop by and service is always great.

Great service, amazing tacos! Love the atmosphere- everything was super authentic and delicious. We will definitely be back.

First time here and we absolutely loved it! Closest thing you will get to Tijuana tacos. I ordered cabeza , lengua and chicharrón! Lengua was my personal favorite but they were all delicious. Service was amazing, everyone who works there is super sweet! It's a fun place to take family and friends, very spacious, great music we loved it

Stopped by super quick to try out some of their tacos. I got one maciza (head meat), carne asada and al pastor. All were good but of course the maciza stands out! It was very tender, seasoned well, and not too salty. The employees were friendly and efficient. We received our order in less than 15 minutes. We definitely will be back to dine in as my bf saw they have beer towers!

Great service, food good good prices!! Definitely would come back and try other things

First time going to this place. The ambiance was relaxed, music is not too loud. Clean place. The food was awesome! First bite I knew I know I have a new favorite taco place. Me and my husband ordered cheek, sesos, pork belly, tripa, head, lengua and a horchata and flan. The other taco places had no match from De Cabeza el Unico! The birria consome was so filling! The horchata can serve 2-3 people! The taco itself is something! You gotta come and try this place! We will definitely be back! I appreciate talking with the chef which is so sweet and friendly.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while because cabeza is my favorite taco! We were recommended to order a pound of meat for our party of five (one child). It came with broth for the adults and good quality tortillas. We also ordered chapulines (grasshoppers), taco de sesos (brain), de chicharrón, de cochinita pibil, and taquitos dorados. Se wanted to try lengua as well so we added 1/2 of lengua. Everything was delicious! Cabeza is a very tender meat, fatty, buttery, with lots of flavor. Lengua was also very tender and was my kid's favorite. Chapulines we're crunchy, seasoned with salt and lemon, and a little bit spicy. Both of their salsas were also great. We enjoyed the ambiance. There's plenty of parking in this shopping center. The waitresses kept checking on us and making sure we were taken care of. The owner also came by and checked on us. They have a large selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I highly recommend this spot in Chula Vista!

If you want authentic, no frills Mexican food, look no further than De Cabeza el Unico. All the tacos were so flavorful that they should've been illegal! Though this wasn't in the heart of SD, it's worth making a little trek out of the city for some real good Mexican eats. Do it - it'll be worth it!

Grilled cheese Pastor Asada Tripa Head Meat Mixed Cheek Lips Tongue Consome BEST TACOS IN SAN DIEGO! Try everything :)

Too expensive, we were 4 persons and order 4 tacos each and 3 drinks was 99.+ dll and wast good and with onions n cilantro only

Literally best tacos hands down. The consomme was packed with flavor and heat (don't be fooled by how clear the broth is-that is a bowl of comfort on its own) I'm at a loss for words regarding the tacos. Each was so full of flavor and texture. The lengua was so insanely tender, it melted in my mouth. The cochinita pibil was out of this world, the flavor, tenderness, juciness, all culminated into one of the best eating experiences of my life. 10/10 highly recommend.

An authentic street taco establishment located in a tiny strip mall corner spot. One step through the front door and you'll take in the aroma of corn tortillas and a variety of meat parts stewing, steaming or grilling. A portal to a busy spot frequented by the local Latino community of Chula Vista. The many flat screens playing none other than futbol! Upon entry was greeted by staff asking how many in my party and offering me a seat. I knew what I was there for but now realize I will have to comeback to try the other beef parts I have come to love. I ordered street tacos. Lengua (tongue) macita (head) and a pork al pastor taco. Each made to order along with a jamaica(hibiscus) aqua Fresca to cleanse the palate of rich gelatinous meat tacos topped with cilantro and onions and their taco salsa. They arrived so fast and hot kissed with a squeeze of lime and devoured as fast as they came. So I had to order another tongue taco to make certain they were as good as first tasted. They are as good as advertised by other Yelp reviews. I'll be back for more including to try the beef cheek tacos and more. Gracias De Cabeza el unico!

Found this place on yelp coming back from Mexico and it was very good! Great service and food! We will be back!

I stopped here on my way home from the San Diego area. The Al Pastor tacos were on point. Delicious, clean, flavorful, etc. Perfect amount of salsa on the tacos. These flautas were unique in shape, but they were excellent. The salsa verde was delicious and it's the same that goes on the Enchiladas Verdes. Great food, great staff, etc. Will definitely be back again.

Glad we made a reservation. Shortly after we were seated, the line went out the door and down the building. Not only is the food worth the wait (killer tacos!), but the service is a well-oiled machine. They have a system that gets the food out as quickly and smoothly as possible. This was our first time but won't be our last.

So so so good! De Cabeza is located in a small plaza, so there's parking. Although, when it's busier, it may be limited. I was immediately greeted and seated with a smile upon arrival. Food: Maciza Taco (10/10): I've never had head meat before, but it is what this place is known for. So, I had to give it a try! The meat was tender and had a good mix of fat and lean. The flavor was delicious and well-balanced with the cilantro, onion, and salsa it came with. Asada Taco (8/10): The meat was flavorful and not too chunky. It was delicious, albeit a little dry. Lengua Taco (10/10): I love lengua and get it every time I have tacos. This? By far the best I've had. Just like the maciza, it was tender and flavorful. It literally melted in my mouth. I'll be dreaming about it until I'm back! Flan (8/10): A perfect dessert to end the meal with! It wasn't too sweet and overly eggy. However, it was airy. I prefer my flan to be creamy and smooth.

Gourmet tacos. Taste homemade. Cabeza and Lengua tacos -- wow best I had, even comparing LA's tacos. Fresh meat, not oily, not overly salted, well seasoned. Simple with flavor depth. Very fast with great customer service. Inside is very clean. Plentiful bathroom stalls. Parking lot is easy. I will come here again. Worth the visit.

Hands down the best tacos in town! The birria, cabeza, lengua tacos are packed with flavor, and the tortillas are always fresh. Their salsa adds the perfect kick, and the service is fast and friendly. Great vibes, generous portions, and fair prices--definitely worth a visit!

The food is amazing, head meat is the best taco I had ever! Highly recommend for anyone wants to have good Mexican food!!!

Super friendly staff right off the bat. The gentleman who greeted us was so nice and lively, really made us excited to try everything! I wasn't necessarily going to order alcohol but as soon as he suggested a michelada, I was sold. Lol (it's been a long weekend after moving daughter into her dorm). He brought out the mugs with the beer bottles upside down in the cups, took the bottle, swirled it around and poured out the beer. Gotta love the table presentation. But the tacos were absolutely the stars of the meal. Cabeza isn't offered in many (East) Bay Area taquerias, so whenever we come to San Diego, we have to get our fix. Their meats were so unctuous and flavorful, only added a squeeze of lime to help cut through the fattiness. The lengua, longaniza and conchita pibil were also very tasty. The adobada and chorizo verde were a bit dry for me. We also tried the chicharron de queso which came with a side of guacamole and the flautas. I wouldn't necessarily get them again, but order more tacos. We came during the tropical storm, and it was definitely worth braving the ugly weather.

Me and my family try this place today to go and nobody like it. The lengua was hard. The cabeza was way to greasy. Adobada did not have a good flavor and carne asada too. And they did not put avocado in my tacos. I will never buy tacos from this place again.

A solid option for Mexican food in the SD area. They are at the top of my list for cabeza and in my Top 5 for tacos in SD. FOOD I tried a good range of items. Alambres, Al pastor taco, queso taco de Asada, cabeza tacos and consome. All were good but the cabeza tacos stood out the most. For my next visit, I'm going to go straight for the cabeza. SERVICE Service was good and consistent. They aren't one of those restaurants that cut off orders or service prematurely. I noticed customers coming in very close to the listed closing time and they were welcomed. PARKING There is a shared parking lot and there seem to be an adequate number of spots.

Service was great. Fast and friendly. Also helpful when asked questions of the menu. Ambiance was okay. Some interesting wall art otherwise nothing special. I ended up ordering the lunch special green enchiladas with chicken. The verse sauce was okay. The chicken was strange. I think it was ground chicken. This dish would be much better with shredded chicken. There a few interesting menu items I'd like to try so am going to try again.

My partner and I came to try the lengua, and we liked it so much we returned with my parents when they were visiting. The cachete taco is my favorite!! Also the orden con jugo is a perfect comfort food. Both times we went, we were seated instantly and the servers were very kind and attentive. The chef is also friendly and greets customers with a big smile. This place is definitely one of our top favorite restaurants in the area for the quality of food and welcoming atmosphere.

First time checking out this place today since we were in the area. Service was quick and friendly and we were greeted and sat as soon as we entered. This place is a sit down joint where servers come to the table to take your order, not your typical Mexican restaurant where you order first and pay at the counter. Decent sized restaurant with lots of tables inside. We needed a minute to look through their unique menu. I was so excited to see all their different cuts of meat such as head meat, cheek, tongue, etc! Our server was nice enough to give us suggestions on what to try and order. Since it was a quick lunch for us we opted for several tacos: head meat, asada, cheek, tongue, and tripa. Tripa has a nice taste to it, as did the the asada. But the stars of our lunch was definitely the other 3 cuts! The head meat, cheek and tongue were soooo tender and delicious! Packed with flavor already but it was enhanced even more by the bowl of limes and extra salsas provided in the bottles. The chef Jesus was also extremely nice! He made the effort to tell us about the restaurant and what they specialize in and what things to try next. Rarely do we venture down to Chula Vista but I wouldn't mind the drive at all to eat here again! I can't wait to come back to try other items on their menu!

Really good service and food. The chicharron de queso was awesome. The tacos were great and so were the chapulines. They were salty and spicy with lots of lime.

I am so glad I tried this spot for lunch! One of the best authentic Mexican tacos I have ever tried. The size of the tacos is perfect, they are more on the "street tacos" size. I ordered a variety of different tacos such as the asada, pollo, pastor, chicharron, cochinita pibil, and a quesataco with asada. They were ALL delicious! My favorite was the cochinita pibil and asada. I also ordered a crepe with nutella and that was delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness with a side of vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for some yummy authentic Mexican tacos!

My Pahtner For Life and I celebrated our 28th Wedding Anniversary the other day, so of course we wanted to celebrate this blessed milestone by dining out. I chose De Cabeza El Unico because I had seen this restaurant reviewed by Rockstar Eater, who is a YouTube Food Critic. The food that was featured looked appealing and caused me to Yelp Bookmark De Cabeza. I also had some coworkers who raved about the restaurant, so it was on my Must Eat list. Some of our family joined us for our first visit to De Cabeza and we loved the food, the great customer service from Melanie, the hospitality of the Chef Owner, and I especially enjoyed my Lamb Head. De Cabeza is located in South San Diego, specifically in old Chula Vista. The restaurant can be found on the busy Broadway street within a small outdoor strip mall where you can find Metro, a nail business, and an insurance spot. It's across from Roberto's Taco Shop, Pho Hung Cali, and a short distance from Costco. On a busy evening, parking can be tough to find. De Cabeza takes reservations via the Yelp app and I highly suggest that you make them in advance. From the outside, the restaurant looks small, but they definitely pack the amount of seating in the restaurant. There's a large mural of the Chef Owner holding a cabeza, yellow wood paneling throughout the restaurant and on the tables, and several televisions showing the YouTube episodes of the restaurant. We loved the customer service provided by our waitress Melanie and the hospitality by the Chef Owner. Melanie's happy demeanor was infectious and she was so friendly. The Rockstar Eater featured food from De Cabeza that enticed me to want to experience what the food critic had scrumptiously portrayed. On Yelp, the restaurant has a 5-star rating and many positive reviews. De Cabeza specializes in Mexican food, so the menu contains tacos, rolled tacos, enchiladas, combination plates, quesadillas, agua frescas, cervezas, and desserts. As we were deciding what to order, Melanie asked if we wanted to order grasshoppers, which invoked hesitancy from my family and I. Melanie kindly went to the back of the kitchen, grabbed samples for all 7 of us, and we tried grasshoppers for the first time. It actually was tasty, but we decided not to order them. I had to order the lamb head, I ordered two orders of the Chicharrón de Queso aka Grilled Cheese, I ordered a pork belly taco, and I completed my order with Consomé con Carne aka Broth with Meat. For the tacos, you might want to order the salsa on the side because several of my family thought the tacos were spicy. I devoured my pork belly taco and probably would have ordered more if not for all the food I ate. The chicharrón de queso is a large rolled up grilled cheese that was addicting especially when you spread provided guacamole on it. The consomé was tasty and would be perfect for someone feeling under the weather. The star for me was the Lamb Head. I ordered it complete, so it came out as a skull with an abundant amount of fall off the head skull meat. That lamb head has to be shared because it was too much for one person. Other customers gawked at that lamb head when it was brought to our table. With the provided corn tortillas, I enjoyed every single taco I made with the yummy lamb meat. Dining at De Cabeza El Unico was an amazing experience and we're glad we got to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary at a restaurant that has delicious, experiential food and noteworthy customer service. Next time my family eats at De Cabeza, I'm making sure someone shares the Lamb Head with me. I got dibs on the lamb cheek.

First time here! Was craving pho, but came here instead because the shop we wanted to go to was closed. I saw this place across the street, and I looked it up on yelp; saw the reviews, and called the audible! I told the fam, "We're eating here tonight" Ordered the beef soup, tripa, lingua, brain, cheek, carne, flouta tacos, queso taco all X 2.. it was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back. Loved the service, the atmosphere, and the intentionality.

Food is excellent and service is even better. Had 1 ibs of cabeza and a taco de labio and taco de cachete. Best tacos I've had in a long time by far.

Delicious food, had the orden en Su jugo and tacos De cabeza and cachete. Service was awesome. The ambiance was great music friendly people just felt like home. Sorry I didn't take pictures, looked and tasted delicious i didn't want to wait.
