The menu at La Vecindad goes deeper than the classics — and if you’re ready to try something a little different, here’s where to start. From a press-featured favorite to a few dishes you won’t find on just any Mexican menu, these five are worth the detour.
The Lineup
- Huarache De Carne En Su Jugo · Fried masa dough topped with boiled beans, beef cooked in tomatillo sauce, bacon, lettuce, pico de gallo, queso fresco, sour cream, and grilled nopal. This one carries real street cred — “Carne en su Jugo” has been featured in Las Vegas Weekly for its bold flavor.
- Costeno Alambre · Grilled beef with shrimp, salsa enchilada, bacon, bell peppers, onions, and melted Monterrey Jack cheese, served with rice, beans, and handmade corn tortillas. The most loaded option on the alambre menu.
- Chimuela Burger · Double beef patties, crispy bacon, Monterrey Jack cheese, secret red sauce, onion, tomato, lettuce, and pickled jalapeño, served with fries. Not your average burger.
- Molletes · An open-faced Mexican sandwich topped with refried beans, chorizo, Monterrey Jack cheese, and pico de gallo. A Mexican breakfast classic, done right.
- Chimichanga Burrito · Filled with your choice of meat, rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, Monterrey Jack cheese, and sour cream. Choose from asada, pastor-pineapple, chorizo, chicken, cabeza, or carnitas — six ways to make it yours.
Why These Stand Out
Each of these dishes brings something you won’t find on a typical Mexican menu — whether it’s the unexpected combo of shrimp and beef in the Costeno Alambre, or the open-faced simplicity of Molletes. And with the Huarache De Carne En Su Jugo, you’re ordering a dish that’s already earned its own spotlight in the press.
