The staff always cares and really wants you to have the best time and provides fast, precise service. I've even found they like to get to know you when they recognize you. They enjoy knowing you are a regular and they aim to keep you as a regular. The ambiance is vibrant, colorful, fun and exciting. Prepare yourself for some great music and even DJ's depending on what time you arrive. Definitely a very cool place. I will always be calling 'The Pawn Shop' a second home. Enjoy!

During World cup game, it was super busy! What we ordered: Jalapeno Poppers(cream cheese filled, chipotle mayo) Tater tot classic Jefe Tacos - STEAK (GF) grilled marinated steak, shredded lettuce, guacamole, garlic-mayo, jalapeño cilantro chimichurri, crispy onions, cilantro, on corn tortilla SMOKED BRISKET slow-roasted brisket, bbq sauce, cabbage slaw, roasted poblano mayo, pickled red onions, fresh jalapeño, on flour tortilla. For drink: Watermelon Margarita Mango and Chili Margarita Jalapeno Poppers were decent. Very cheesy and very spicy. Delicious. Tater Tot was very delicious. Very crispy on outside, filling potatoes were flavorful. Highly recommend. Jefe Tacos were great, too. My favorite was Steak. Steak was very tender and flavorful. It paired with guacamole and chimichurri so well. Smoke brisket was just ok. Meat was not really tender, flavor was a bit weak. I did not try Mango and Chili Margarita, I was told it was sweet and spicy unique drink. Watemelon margarita was good. It was very sweet, and I felt alcohol flavor was a bit weak. Overall, we really enjoyed dinner at Pawn shop. I really loved the ambience. Interior was nicely decorated and had a great vibe. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy unique drink and Mexican food.

I went into A1 on the weekend, as I was looking for a Mac. Mark was the person helping me. Really…read morenice guy, he listened to what I was looking for and my price range. Mark and I even joked about me being such a Mac geek while he was bubble wrapping the computer for me. Over his shoulder I saw an Xbox Series One X, so I inquired. We bantered back and forth a little, then agreed on a price. HOWEVER, when he plugged it in to make sure everything was working properly he noticed a flaw. He took down the price again and asked me if i still wanted it. I said "yes of course". Point is, most places don't care and sell it at normal price. Most places don't take the time to get to know what their customers are looking for. Mark took the time. I walked out of there a VERY happy customer. Yes, I will be going back there. I recommend you check out this place. PS. Mac and Xbox work perfectly. Thank you for your friendly service. Trena

The salesman took pity on me driving from Squamish (100 k) to buy a cheaper one he had just sold, so he gave me a 20% discount from his price of $1050. I have seen the same item on Amazon for upwards of $1600. I would certainly do business there again.

This is a pawn shop for rich people who are bad with money. I highly advise against going here for anything or I can guarantee you'll feel ripped off or they'll just straight up say "if you dont like it go to another pawn shop" so the service is crappy as well.

The wonderful ladies working there took the time to explain why my ring actually felt too big, and it turned out I didn't need a resize after all! They offered an alternative adjustment I didn't even know was possible, suggested more cost-effective options, and even tightened my prongs at no extra charge. My ring was ready within just a couple of business days and looked absolutely gorgeous when I picked it up. The staff was so warm, friendly, and genuinely made me feel comfortable and cared for. I'll definitely be coming back to them for all my future jewelry needs--wedding bands, gifts, repairs, and more. Highly recommend!
