People Drive Five Hours For These Brain Tacos In California

“No customer of mine leaves hungry,” says the taquero behind the very popular shop specializing in beef head tacos. “All my employees have the authority and approval to gift a free taco to new customers, even if they don’t buy anything. We want you to try it before you say no.”

Eduardo Negrete Lopez, the owner, is relatively new to the role of taquero. But you wouldn’t know that based on how he carries himself.
