La Vecindad Neighborhood Tacos
La Vecindad Neighborhood Tacos is a taco shop in Hillcrest, San Diego, run by three brothers and known for its chile relleno taco and the Costa Azul shrimp taco.
Overview
La Vecindad is a family business run by three brothers in Hillcrest, one of San Diego's central neighborhoods. The dining room is decorated in an art-forward style, with picnic tables and black-and-white photographs on the walls. San Diego Magazine included it in its 2025 ranking of the forty best tacos in the county.
Menu
Two tacos stand out in the magazine's account. The chile relleno taco places a stuffed, battered and fried pepper in a tortilla, a format that turns a plated Mexican classic into handheld food. The Costa Azul wraps shrimp in bacon and pairs it with avocado and a chipotle aioli. The shop also has a reputation for its micheladas, beer mixed with lime, spices and tomato or clamato juice, which suit the casual, neighborhood format suggested by its name.
