@discodelic_discos_viajantes , located in the Mission District of San Francisco, is one of those special shops that feels like you’re getting a bit of a music lesson each time you dig through their impeccably curated bins. The shop specializes in music from Latin America and the Caribbeans with stacks upon stacks of 45’s organized by decade and country from Mexico to Jamaica to Nicaragua and beyond. With two listening stations and friendly, attentive staff behind the counter, you’re sure to discover something that you’ve never heard before, and more than likely very few others have as well.
Discodelic: Discos Viajantes de Otros Dimensiones, meaning “traveling vinyl discs from other dimensions,” is operated by Ruben

@m.akeiles . Launched in 2015, the shop moved around Latin America for 10 years before finding a home in the Mission District, a historic hub for the Chicano and Latino community in San Francisco. Prior to Discodelic SF opening in 2024, there hadn’t been a Latin record store in the Mission for over a decade… Since then, the shop has become a vibrant and much-needed community space for Latin music lovers, DJ’s, and locals.
