WHAT IS CABEZA? WELL, IT IS NOT BRAIN!

WHAT “CABEZA” WHEN YOU SEE IT ON THE MENU?

Cabeza means “head”, it is a Mexican term used to describe the meat from a roasted head of a beef animal. In other words it is NOT the brain of an Animal my American friends.

Basically, the whole head is placed on a steamer until cooked, and then the meat just comes off of the head. Believe me, it is tender and delicious.



Next time you come to Charlie’s Tacos order your self some Cabeza. Believe me you are in for a real treat!

I was enjoying with my wife a great 2- year anniversary vacation. We ended up in this mom and pop restaurant where they specialized in Wild Boar Stew, and let me tell you, I enjoyed it so much I brought it back home (don’t ask me how I did it). Although, to get the Wild Boar Stew again, then going back to Italy is the only option, as I know no one here in Highland Park sells Wild Boar Stew.
