Overview

The restaurant built its identity on cabeza, the meat of the animal's head. Its signature is lamb head, offered boneless or complete with the skull, and groups can order whole cow heads. A mural inside shows the chef holding a skull over a steaming pot. The menu spans lamb, beef, pork and chicken, and the shop takes reservations through its website.

Tacos come on handmade corn tortillas. Beyond the taco de maciza (lean meat), the kitchen offers buche, tripe, sweetbreads, blood sausage and grasshoppers, as well as slow-roasted pork pibil and marbled beef rib. Cabeza can also be ordered in broth with salsa verde and cilantro. San Diego Magazine placed it second on its 2025 ranking of the county's tacos, noting its low prices.
