They consistently had great materials, beautiful sheets of paper, and amazing staff. Friendly service, clean and well organized store, and a real community staple. It was always nice to see consistent faces and I was treated with excellent service with every visit. I loved the manager and hope the company was able to retain her. She's extremely competent at her role and it would be a shame for it not to be recognized! Wishing the employees all the best.

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.

Beautiful Store, I was Very Excited when I found this store. It came up in my newsfeed in insta and…read moreI 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.

If you're looking for authentic, traditional Mexican clothes, this is the place for you. Every…read moresingle item in this store is made in this country, none of that china nonesense in sight! I don't even have to say it, but the quality in every product is outstanding. This store is in the heart of downtown (zona centro) and it's easy to go right past it if you don't know what you're looking for, so make sure you look at the pictures above to get an idea of how it looks on the outside. The thing I thought was pretty cool, is that they sell clothes from all over the country (for those of you who don't know, almost all states have very different and specific traditional folkloric attires) This is a great place to come if you're buying gifts or souvenirs for anyone. It's not the cheesy-keychain or T-shirt type of place, it's much better

They try and sell you things for 3 times the money, if you are silly enough to fall for it. At this store, the prices were right from the get go. I felt so comfortable dealing with the lovely man and lady, they were very helpful and knowledgable about the history and culture of the cities in Mexico. Also, the quality of the clothing is great. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone visiting Tijuana. This shop is first class!
