I came back to Taco to buy a few t-shirts and a pair of shorts and I was in and out in no time,…read morethanks to the helpful salesman, Rodrigo. He helped me find the right sizes and showed me different styles; I tried on all the items (they let you try on even the t-shirts), paid and was finished. I highly recommend this shop for your casual clothing needs--it is well-stocked and their prices are low.

The Tambiá Shopping mall is a good place to shop, have fun with friends and also to have a snack…read more It is in the city center and is therefore more accessible to much of the population of João Pessoa. This mall is relatively small compared to some others in the city. The food court has about 20 or 25 fast food options, including Subway & Burger King, as well as "Chinese" and "Italian" fast food among others. Shopping options include many clothing stores, 2 department stores, travel agencies (does anybody use them anymore?), bank & ATMs, jewelry stores and even a medical clinic. There's also a movie theater, but they tell me it's on the small side. The parking lot is large, so you won't have to go crazy looking for on-street parking in the congested downtown area. This time of year, they also have an indoor skating rink, which is a nice touch in the hot weather. In all, I like this Mall & would definitely go back.

Riachuelo is a national department store in Brazil, with over 300 stores and thousands of employees…read morenationwide, selling mostly clothing (their own brands and other brands, including Versace, Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld)--men's, women's & children's; housewares, beauty products/perfumes and other stuff. This particular Riachuelo (also known as RCHLO in their commercials and ads) is pretty neat and well-kept. Sales staff here are generally helpful. In all, this is a store worth stopping into when in a mall in Brazil.

My first time back here since the COVID-19 situation. This shopping mall has taken many…read moreprecautions to adjust to the current norms: they have temperature checks at all the mall entrances; there are many hand sanitizer stations throughout the mall; the escalators are all marked so that shoppers should use only every fourth step; the food court has installed plastic shields between all the tables and at and around all the food stands; all of the stores are posted with the maximum number of clients that are permitted in at the same time. The number of patrons seems much less than it used to be, but it is very nice to be able to go to the mall and pretend to be normal again.

Please see my previous review for more information about this store's history…read more I popped in to buy some basic needs (shampoo, toothpaste & some dish towels), mostly because it is one of the few places I could find all these items in one stop. Their prices are usually low compared to other stores. They also have a website, which I recommend you use for bigger ticket items, because the prices are always lower than in the store. Check-out was not as bad as usual (they never have enough registers open), but that's because there weren't many customers today.

This is a small shopping mall in the city of Joao Pessoa. It looks like it has seen better days…read moreand looks run-down. They have a few decent stores with some low prices. The food court is really not worth visiting unless you're starving. In addition to clothing stores for men and women, they have a gym, but it's small. If you're in the area and need something specific, it's worth stopping in, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here because there are other much larger shopping malls that have much better shopping options.
