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

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.

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!

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!

Literally got off a plane an hour ago and came here after landing from Canada. You must come here, you must eat the meat, you must eat the tacos. You must eat the food. It is absolutely out of this world. Try the tongue tacos you won’t be disappointed…. Yes, I said tongue
