Aqui es Texcoco
Mexican
Lamb barbacoa, slow-cooked in a specialized oven built to mimic an underground fire pit lined with maguey leaves, is the whole reason this roomy Chula Vista restaurant exists. It's a build-your-own taco situation: fresh tortillas, salsas, garnishes, and a rich lamb consomme on the side. The kitchen has been doing essentially one thing for decades, and the zucchini flower and huitlacoche quesadillas are the only real detour worth taking.

Huitlacoche quesadillas
“Although lamb is king here, don’t miss the zucchini flower or huitlacoche quesadillas.”
Eater -
Whole roasted lamb head
“if you’re with the right company, you should get feral with a whole roasted lamb head, excavating morsels of fall-apart meat off the skull”
