I’m bringing to your attention the world of Tacos de Cabeza en salsa verde (also known as head tacos, but trust me it’s much better than it sounds), a tasty dish that you can get at one of the best (if not the best) taco food trucks in LA, Tacos Tacuba.
Located in the vibrant streets of Los Angeles, Tacos Tacuba stands tall as a humble taco food truck adorned with colorful lights and a fragrant aroma that welcomes passersby to dive into its culinary delights. What makes this food truck truly special is its commitment to preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of Mexican street food. At the heart of their menu lies the star of the show: tacos de cabeza en salsa verde.
Tacos de cabeza, or “head tacos,” may be a matter of reluctance for some, but for those who’ve experienced their divine taste, they are a gastronomic revelation. The “cabeza” refers to the tender and succulent meat sourced from the head of a cow, often consisting of cheeks, tongue, and sometimes, the brain. But don’t worry, these cuts are prepared with the utmost care, cleanliness, and expertise to make sure you have an exquisite eating experience.
The true magic happens when the chef prepares the meat with a blend of traditional spices and slow-cooks it until it reaches a perfect state of tenderness. It’s then carefully chopped into small pieces and served on a warm, handmade corn tortilla (which we all know is the foundation of any great taco).
What sets Tacos Tacuba’s tacos de cabeza apart is its signature salsa verde, a tangy and mildly spicy green sauce made from tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, onions, lime and their signature creative twist. This heavenly combination creates a flavor fiesta better than any quinceñera you´ve been to out of the cabeza tacos, leaving diners craving for more with each bite they take.
