This is such a fun store! We stumbled on this store while walking over to Pigment & couldn't have had a better time. The staff were all so friendly & welcoming, and super helpful. Wide variety of fun, Latin American goods (for example, candy, books, shoes, totes, cooking supplies, toys, pet supplies, stickers, etc.)...the list goes on and on. Prices seemed reasonable for a specialty store. Would highly recommend!! read more

This is an adorable store with so many unique items. Great for gifts for kids or adults. And their prices are very reasonable. The salesperson checked in to see if we needed any guidance and she was just as sweet and helpful as she could be. read more

I always recognized their beautiful outside mural but finally came in to check out the store. It is filled with Mexican candies and curated goods. One of my favorite areas was the concha plushie rack, where they were presented on an actual bakery rack and you can grab them with tongs, just like at the Mexican grocery store :) SO many cute items that had funny Mexican flair. Plus Pedro Pascal and Bad Bunny cut outs and other memorabilia, lol. I bought some candy, a couple packs of Oy Chamoy for $5, they are a favorite of my partner's because of the sour coating. This is a great place to shop for any Mexican/Hispanic inspired gifts. read more

Beautiful Store, I was Very Excited when I found this store. It came up in my newsfeed in insta and I ordered some things for El Dia de Los Muertos and I chose to pick up because it wasn't to far from me and i had a couple questions and I was hoping they can help. When I Walked in I was impressed by all the inventory they had a lot of options! I Did think a lot of the little things were over priced. A lot of the Bigger things were a reasonable price. When I walked in to This Beautiful store I was already in a good mood I was excited and happy , I was expecting to be welcomed and feel that Mexican culture the store is giving. But I Didn't. I felt like rushed. I had a questions about my ordered and they didn't say anything particular to me but the energy that was giving to me was off. Like they really didn't want to help me, but I kinda got an answer? Anyways it's Ohkay I figured it out myself... Overall Beautiful Store love the esthetic. But I was expecting that Mexican Culture all around. As in Being Respectful, Greeting and serving and more is something I was thought and I always felt going into a Mexican Restaurant, store, etc. At first I thought it was just me but going through everyone's else comments I saw I'm not the first one to notice this and/or experience this. But I'm usually a very social person and I love to make conversation with people and especially if I need some kind of help. Hopefully next time I go I have a different experience. read more

What a fabulous store my daughter brought me to. So many items I wanted, I would've been broke. I found a specialty gift for a co-worker, sister amd myself. So many unique gift items from funny coffee mugs, candles, cards, cool books, stationary, pens, clothing, coffees, sweets, stickers etc. I truly enjoyed th children's corner for my granddaughter, loved the unique books they carry. Customer service was extremely kind and helpful and the value prices weren't bad for the quality of goods they carry. I will definitely be back for more Mexican wares and gifts. read more

Walking by and hearing the joy inside this store and then coming in was such a treat that I'm tempted to sink my teeth into again! This place is on the corner behind target and across the street from Pints and Pretzels. The first thing that gets you is the sound of lively chatter followed by a colorful room followed by wonderful people and smiles. The store is full of items that are Mexican themed. Therefore the items, the people, and the atmosphere are all warm and fun. Aside from food, this place has everything from baby clothes, to dog toys, to small little recuerdos you can gift, to cookbooks, to car fresheners and more. Also, when we came here around 11am on a Saturday, they were serving apple mimosas and mini chocolate chip cookies. Really was a dope experience. The value on most things were in line with what you would spend at other places like Target. But at least you're supporting small businesses. read more

First off. EVERYTHING in this store is sooo cute. Hard to just pick a few things. But I had a good friend to shop for,went online bought a few things. Easy experience. Then, my dumb butt realized i did not change the address to my friends address. I was able to email the store and they changed everything immediately. AMAZING customer service. When I let them know it was a bday gift they wrapped everything up so special and beautiful. I appreciate you all and thank you for all your help. read more

The store itself is really nice and has a great selection of unique items. Unfortunately, the experience I had with the staff completely changed how I felt about it. I'm a Hispanic male, and while I don't necessarily look like your typical San Diego local, I expected to feel welcome--especially in a store that celebrates Hispanic culture. Instead, a tall blonde employee started following me around and made it very clear she was watching me every time I picked something up. It made me feel uncomfortable and judged, like I didn't belong there. I still bought an item I liked, but honestly, I couldn't enjoy the experience because of how uneasy I felt. It's disappointing because I really wanted to support this place, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't fit what they see as a "high-end" customer. read more

I love everything about this store. It's a great place to find a unique gift and at the same time I find things for myself too. Many items are from Mexico and the variety in items is incredible. There is so much to look at in the store! I have been to several in store craft events and that was fun as well. read more

It's a nice store with a cool aesthetic. Items are a bit overpriced and the people working there are icy. Not very welcoming or warm.

Service: There were 4 employees working at the time of my visit. The shop looks like 2 separate spaces that were connected at some point...so there is a lot of square footage and merchandise to cover. They were helpful and friendly. Selection: The selection is fantastic! A theme-based shop however, many, many selections of paper, pens, keychains, trinkets, art, etc. A great place to window shop or pick up great collectibles or gifts. Value: All items seemed reasonably priced. read more

My cousins and I parked in the residential area and were walking around the corner to Verbatim when the big mural on the side of the building caught our attention. This place is amazing! They had so much from fabric to housewares and the prices were relatively affordable. Not crazy huge tourist trap mark-ups. They sell mexican folk art/cultural fabric! I snagged a Grandeza Azteca themed yard cut of fabric for $13.00 in their precut fabric basket. I also got some wedding cookies and a Darth Vato patch. I rang up and was just blown away at the extra care they gave when bagging up my items. they put it in a gift bag, with tissue paper and tied it closed with like colored husk type string... I dont know what it's called. anyhow, it looked like a present when she handed it over to me. Definitely a place to stop if you are in the area. :) read more

Soy chismosa so naturally, I loved all the chisme related stickers, pins and decals. I originally came in because I had seen a photo of a cafecito con chisme sticker on a bustelo can that I had to buy for a friend, but was distracted by how many fun things that existed in this store. This store is perfect if you're searching for a gift for a friend. They have a bunch of cards and creative items. There is also a kids section in the back. So many fun things to choose from! read more

As I get ready to leave San Diego after a solid 16 years of being a resident, Artelexia is the perfect spot for me to get keepsakes and memorabilia of my time spent here. Let's just say I got a ton of "Chingona" stuff! read more

I went to this store a few times. It's because of the employee's attitude. What happened was that I saw the book I like and took it. I put it down on the stack of the books and then looked for other books. It was accidentally taken by the female employee, and then I stopped her by making a gesture "it's mine. Buy." She understood and let me keep it. Another female employee took it from me. I was confused, giving them a non verbal cue like "it's mine." They said something. I didn't understand what she said and then I told her I am deaf and to write what she said. She looked subtly irritated, sighing. In the back of my mind, I was like what's that look? It's not cool. I gave her my phone to type and understood her message. I totally understood that the book was already purchased online. What I didn't like was her attitude when I informed her I am deaf and I want her to write what she say. Now I don't feel comfortable going back to the store for a while. read more

Great store! Lots of cute items! They have everything from concha pillows to notebooks to books! Great place to buy stocking items for your friends and family or to decorate your home / apartment! Will definitely come back! read more

Came across this cool little store in the University district of San Diego. I had never been down here before but such an artsy area. This shop celebrates Mexican culture. Being Mexican, this makes me so happy to see such a beautiful store thriving. When you enter, so much color from art to blankets to pillows, and life size paper flowers. They also feature custom jewelry and offer weekly craft classes. There are all kinds of gifts to choose from and if you are a Frida Kahlo fan, lots of merchandise to choose from. I especially enjoyed the murals painted inside and outside. Service was friendly and I will definitely return here in the future. read more

A bright explosion of color and whimsy, Artlexia is a delightful gem nestled in the heart of North Park. Stepping inside instantly lifts your mood with its bursts of vivid hues and festive decor. The shop is a love letter to iconic artist Frida Kahlo, with a fantastic selection of memorabilia, prints, jewelry and more featuring her beautiful work. As a huge Frida fan, I was over the moon to find an entire section dedicated to the Mexican icon. From sticker packs and notebooks to coffee mugs and tote bags, they have an impressive array of Frida merchandise. The Frida shirts are especially cool - I'll be rocking my new one at the next Día de los Muertos festival! Beyond the excellent Frida selections, Artlexia has a wonderfully curated collection of Mexican folk art, pottery, textiles and crafts. The geometric patterns and bold colors of the Oaxacan animal carvings are stunning. You'll also find Day of the Dead and sugar skull themed items, as well as festive Lotera game boards and sets. The shop is such a bright, cheerful space to explore. Walking in truly feels like a mini vacation to Mexico with all the vivid colors and artistry. The warm hospitality and friendliness of the staff makes browsing even more enjoyable. Artlexia is a true North Park gem - I'll be back again and again! read more

From house decor, stationary, jewelry, and clothing, to an assortment of trinkets, it's a one stop shop for gifts for friends/family, or yourself!

Don't forget to try a Popsicle on your way out, they are refreshing, flavorful, and have a section of flavors such as Mango Chamoy and horchata! read more
