The Missus sure is enjoying the recent cooler weather; She's going for all of Her "greatest hits", Bun Rieu, Moomiok, Menya Ultra, and this past weekend it was the Cabeza en su Jugo from De Cabeza. Other than visits to De Cabeza, I haven't spent any time in Chula Vista….but to please the Missus! Well, that's a different story. I hadn't been back to De Cabeza since April and I was happy to see Jesus hard at work when I arrived.
There were tables at each end of the restaurant with customers….so it seems they are spacing things out rather well. Jesus greeted me with a big smile saying; "welcome back……it has been a while, it's so good to see you!" What a great guy. We managed to chat for a bit while I placed my order. I actually placed an order for two portions of cabeza en su jugo…..I'd be dropping one off at the Missus's work and I'd have my own portion for lunch.
Our dolsot and butane stove are coming in real handy right now. I have a tortilla warmer that I can use in the microwave….it does a pretty good job reheating tortillas and even pitas.
You know, the deep bovine-beefiness, the hearty stock, cut by lime and pungent onions and cilantro is so nice. Steaming hot, it just has that "aaaah" (or is it "moooo") effect. It's just plain wonderful and comforting on a chilly day.
If you want to read descriptions in more detail; check out my previous posts on De Cabeza.
I know the pandemic has been hard on all of us; it's changed the way we work, eat, travel, and live….all aspects of life have been affected. We are so thankful for places like De Cabeza that serve up food that comforts us.
And I am so thankful for all the "Friends of Yoso" who have kept visiting and commenting during these times. We hope all of you are well!

glad this shop has managed to stay around.
Kirk, thank you (and Cathy) for continuing to post. I went to Mammoth for my first official travel trip. It was amazing. I made all meals in the cabin but it was so nice to be in nature again. I so appreciate your blog as a connection to the “outside” world. I got my booster so I feel much safer to be out and about. Still no dining in but at least I am rambling around our great city! Again, thank you and the Missus for being on the front line.
I am too Kat!
Hi Barbara – It’s so great to hear from you! I’m glad you are able to do some travel and get out into nature! I’m glad you are well. I was wondering how you were doing. thank you for making my day!
Hi Kirk!
What brand of butane burner is that? I meant to ask you in your most recent Woomiok post seeing as I’m in the market for one at the moment. I’m definitely feeling the soup weather!
Hi BBJ – It’s great hearing from you! We have an Iwatani Brand butane burner. Hope all is well!
And today, we’re back to gazpacho, right?
Thank you for the kind words Kirk!
I was actually going to look to see if I could find some really ripe tomatoes for Salmorejo Ken!
