Great selection of authentic Mexican imports! They have a wide variety of foods, snacks, and unique items that are hard to find elsewhere. The store is well organized, but it can get a bit crowded at times. Still, a solid spot for quality Mexican goods--definitely worth a visit! read more

Met the owners casually at our favorite auto repair on Thomas Rd.(D-W Auto) and I needed some local type gifts. Prices were fair and the service was very friendly. Glad I visited. read more

Before booking my vacation in Arizona, I found out about this place on a YouTube video about Old Town Scottsdale. I saw the rattlesnake eggs gag gift, and I instantly knew I HAD to find them. I did my research, found this spot's address, booked my plane ticket, rented a Tesla, flew and drove all the way here, and boy did the experience not disappoint. Upon entering this store, I explained to the nice staff that I sought prank gifts, and they quickly led me to the very gift I came in town for. I was highly amused by the prank. Satisfied, I bought a couple and thanked the staff, and happily walked out. This item is cheap too, only a dollar each! Buy more than one! To be clear, this one gift was not the sole reason I flew to AZ for. But it sure made my vacation that much more memorable. read more

Made a visit on a weekend after deciding we wanted some Mexican style decor for our kitchen and outside area. Though the shop is small, they have a good variety of items to choose from all at decent prices. Staff was friendly and offered assistance if we needed. I would recommend this place even if just to browse. read more

Lots of rare pieces that you won't find anywhere. Great prices too! Very nice people. read more

Great selection of items from Mexico, mostly souvenir type things and décor items. This would be a must stop place if you were looking to outfit your ofrenda for DDM. Lots of pottery and skull themed items. I was drawn in by their Mexican market bags out front and found even nicer bags in the store. I scored a cool one with a lotería theme. The store was super crowded when we visited. I would have liked to look around a bit more but was stressed out by the crowds so took off. Prices on some items seemed very reasonable whereas other items seemed kind of high priced for what they were. read more

Always find something I have been looking for when here. Competitive pricing and very nice staff.

This store has been in the family since 1924 and is one of friendliest and best priced tiendas in Ols Town. I highly recommend you take a visit and find some souvenirs for out of town friends and family. Good to see you read more

Mexican Imports was the exact kind of store we had been looking high and low for all around Arizona. We love Mexican artwork, decor, pottery, and home goods, this store is all of that and more. The owners here are beyond lovely and personable. From talking to the husband and wife duo we learned it is really two sisters that run the business and that the store has been in their family for years. Hearing stories like this make you really want to support a local family owned business. Their prices can't be beat this side of the border. They had the best pricing for Mexican home decor we've seen on this trip. You definitely get a Good deal without having to travel yourself to Mexico. We walked away with so many home goods such as Metallic cactus decor, wall art, and souvenirs for friends and family. This store is a must stop and definitely the most vibrant and fun in this shopping district. Support your local family owned businesses. Great for the locals and tourists. read more

PROS: Amazing place to buy a souvenir from! Prices are the best, many things are good quality, and it highlights the Mexican origin that Arizona was founded by. The staff is also very nice CONS: Everything in here is overstocked to the point where its overwhelming to try and find something. It all looks jumbled up OVERALL: You haven't seen Scottsdale until you've seen this place, very nice! read more

Probably the best shop in Downtown Scottsdale area. They have a lot of unique souvenirs at very low prices. I bought about 4 ceramics and paid $29. Very good quality and great customer service as well. The place is a bit smaller than I expected but still very satisfied with the items I bought. read more

This is a nice store especially to take the children. It is full of fun Mexican crafts and decorations as well as toys and clothing, blankets and dishware. We were looking for toys and there was a great selection but that just made it more difficult to choose one. We like the cats and we liked the wolves and we liked the storyteller with the cats on her lap. In the end we decided on the three wolves that was so cute. It was a pretty heavy piece and a nice size and it was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly go back there and shop read more

I was visiting from LA and had 15 minutes to pick out some quick souvenirs before heading to the airport. Luckily I found this store which had many cute souvenirs from Frida, to Indian dolls, pens, llama keychains, worry doll boxes, keychains, bags, cloths, jewelry, religious souvenirs, skulls, the list goes on. The prices are affordable, reasonable and theres something in there for everyone's budget. I found the most souvenirs at this store. Thank you for inventing this store and delivering cute and unique items. read more

This store reminds me of the stuff my grandma would send to us in Christmas packages when I was little. Tiny sombreros that my sister and I would put on Barbies, donkey piñatas, paper flowers, crèches, etc. Store is on the smaller side. I was terrified of knocking into something because there are breakables everywhere. I did end up buying some super delicate glass drink stirrers for $1.99 each. They're a whole dollar cheaper than the larger competitors across the street. Luckily the pieces made it back home to Vegas without breaking as the cashier wrapped them up well. They sell lower end trinkets but their prices are really decent for a tourist trap area. read more

Mexican Imports - Handmade glass drink stirrers. $1.99 each! 09/20/15 - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Cute little store. We are guaranteed to find what we are looking for because the child at my house buys the same thing each time she visits. Prices seem to be pretty good. Just waiting to see if the husband is going back to buy a leather duffle on this trip. It's worth a walk they if you are in Old Scottsdale. read more

I love this shop! Anytime we are in Scottsdale I have to stop. Always great deals, and since we are getting ready for San Diego We wanted to stop and look at ponchos, and a few new blankets. My husband is also a huge hot sauce lover and they have a great habanero hot sauce he loves so I went to stock up. If you love Mexican Knickknacks and other things like outside decor and down to cute cactus suckers, prickly pear jelly then this is something you'd like. P.S. there's even a Zoltan machine right out front. Very cool! read more

At first glance, this store looks like a tourist trap as it is in old town and they are selling Mexican trinkets. However, I can't say with absolute certainty, the prices seemed to be pretty decent. I bought a colorful straw sombrero for 5 dollars. I saw some other items that seemed to be priced right. You can find all your Mexican things to make for a fantastic fiesta. Or you can find pieces to decorate your home with in this store -- from the colorful Dia de Muertos Masks to the plates and cups to the garden pieces. I did not find the ladies in the store to be friendly at all. But the store is neat and you will be happy, I am sure, with the HUGE selection of trinkets. read more

What an awesome little shop! Easy to miss in downtown Scottsdale. Lots of gifts and souvenirs. Prices are pretty good, too. Worth a visit. read more

One very hot summer day, the only customers here were me and one other woman who was equally intent on the basket of miniature serapes. I was looking for possible dollhouse rugs and blankets (and got a very nice gray serape with pale blue trim). She may have been after party favors. This store is my go-to spot for random dollhouse decor, as there is a ton of small stuff -- ironwood animals, talavera animals, soapstone animals, painted clay pots, Day of the Dead figures -- all at inexpensive prices. It's one of two stores I always visit in Old Town (the other is the western store kitty-corner with the free samples of salsa) and the only one where I always buy something. read more

Mexican Imports - Two pottery cats are among my many finds here. - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Been stopping here since 1997. Great selection. Excellent prices. Cheapest in old town. Friendly staff too. Feels like a legit market. It's a must stop. We'll be back. read more

Wanted: A dress fit for a senorita. Maracas that can liven up a room. Sombreros, because what fiesta doesn't have sombreros? And finally a pinata. Could Old Town possibly have a store full of all these fiesta essentials? Amigos, the answer is Si. I waited years for the excuse to shop at Mexican Import. I would pass by on the way to spring training games, the farmers market or Sunday brunch and I always wondered, "will I ever have a need for any of the items in that store?" It's full of authentic and fun from the land of tequila and sun but the items are not necessarily ones you "need." That is, until I saw a fiesta on the horizon and when I did...I realized that my time had finally come. Mexican Import has pretty much any knick knack you can imagine for a reasonable price. Sombreros (both authentic and costume), fiesta attire, pinatas, shot glasses, ceramics galore, puppets, blankets, maracas (large and small), rattlesnake gum (not as scary as it sounds), cowboy hats, desert post cards and anything else you need with southwestern flare. It's a store that you wish existed for that one off chance you need a sombrero hat on the fly. Even if you aren't in the market for something they carry, this is still a pretty classic store to browse on a weekend afternoon. When you walk inside, it's like you've left Arizona and entered a small shop in the heart of Mexico. So yelp friends, the next time you need a taste of authentic Mexico, look not further than Mexican Import. read more

While I don't have a ton to add to what has already been said, I have nothing but pleasant things to say about this store. It is exactly what it looks like, and doesn't try to pretend to be anything else. If you are expecting a fancy store, with fancy displays, and fancier prices you might be disappointed. If you are looking for any sort of southwestern souvenir type option, especially en masse, at incredibly low prices; this is your jam. I have used this store to find some fun presents, I have taken guests here so they could stock up on souvenirs, and most importantly this store has been clutch when trying to come up with goodie bags for themed events or for out of town visitors at my job. They have a very wide selection from dream catchers to sugar skulls and range in authentic options all the way to standard southwestern kitsch, native to latin, pricey baubles to complete tchotchke heaven. It's like pick your own adventure every time I step in there. The staff has always been more than helpful in this family run business. Pro tip: there are baskets under some of the blanket clad tables by the register if you are buying 100 mini sombreros like someone I know. They take cash and card and often have more of something in the back if you don't see enough or know a viable alternative option when in doubt. read more

This is the place to get cheap knick knacks from our neighbors to the South, and all without leaving the comforts of Scottsdale, where all minorities live in fear and humiliation! But seriously folks. From ceramic turtles to minis of Mezcal this place has everything. Yeah, you can travel down to Nogales and haggle with the locals who all want to "sell you their sister," but if you can't make it down there, or don't want the hassle, this is the next best option. Oldtown Scottsdale has a lot to offer as well. Park and explore other souvenir and Southwest Art shops and grab a bite to eat. Not the most exciting place in the world, but there are worse. read more

This is a fun, touristy shop and always a good place to check out if you're just browsing around Old Town. They have everything from party essentials, to jellies, to Mexican blankets, to magnets, decorated skulls--- any souvenir you can really think of. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. My main complaint is the staff. They never say hello or acknowledge you really, and a woman was training someone and blatantly told her within my ear shot to "watch people in the spots where I was walking (in the back area where there's even more stuff) to make sure they aren't stealing". It was just really unprofessional and uncalled for and after that, my husband and I headed right out... no purchases that day. read more

What a wonderful and interesting store. No need to go down to Mexico when you have this place. They have all the cute curios that you would see across the line. Love the store, love the people. All very reasonably price. You can't get these items in any other store in Arizona read more

If your kid needs a souvenir or trinket while you stroll through Old Town Scottsdale, Mexican Import is your one stop shop. They have everything from paper flowers to maracas, from serapes to shoes, and all at fairly inexpensive prices. The one thing I find really odd here is that the shop is run by an Asian lady. I have no problem with that, I just think it's a bit amusing. read more

Knick knacks galore! Good place to find small gifts for people like Día de los Muertos items, hot sauce, leather belts, etc. I really liked that the prices were cheap, everything was organized but so much to look at! It was hard to take it all in. Perfect place for that memento from your trip to AZ. read more

I love this place. Trinkets galore. I've probably bought 20 head dresses here....no shame. Good place for fun little gifts for people or some drunken purchases after some day drinking at RnR or Patties. read more

Thank you for recommending this shop! It was full of interesting items & the prices were quite fair. We were surprised to find so many others shops around it too. Many shops were more upscale with what looked to be expensive jewelry & hats, etc. but we found just the right souvenirs we were looking for at Mexican Imports!! read more

I'm an El Paso native and find this stores prices to be very reasonable. Great spot for gifts, glassware, and southwest blankets. I come here to buy thank you gifts for friends and margarita pitchers for wedding presents. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with heavy items and pieces placed high up. They have a large selection of times in back, so don't be shy about asking! read more

This place is Awesome. Beautiful store front. Fantastic customer service. All I purchased was postcards but I was treated as if I purchased two of the more expensive items in the store. The beautiful young Asian woman at the cash register had a smile and demeanor of someone who sent from customer service heaven. I would recommend this place to any and all visitors to Old Town Scottsdale. Yes!! read more

This place is great. Guarantee you'll get the best price on everything there than any other place in the area I have been coming here for years every time I drive through Scottsdale I go there. read more

This is a great store. I love this place. The owners have been there since the 1920s (photo of original owners on the wall) and they really care about cutting a deal with you so that you go away happy with your purchases. My wife and I were there on a trip from San Diego and really liked this place. Highly recommend ! read more

This store has so many cool and fair priced items. I spent like 100$ here but I got so many cool things. Great for little souvenirs. The owners were super nice. There's a ton of boutiques on this street. Parking wasn't terrible. If I lived here I would definitely stop in a lot. Lots of cute Frida items. read more

Best store in Old Town! This store has everything you're looking for in the Southwest! They have wall decor, Talavera pottery, textiles, tiles, glassware, and Mexican blankets for a whopping $6.99. They also have a great selection of Arizona souvenirs making this place your one stop shop. They have the best prices in town! Be sure to check this store out on your next visit to Old Town! read more

I'd hoped for SO much more. I've collected Mexican talavera pottery for many years & hoped to bring home a treasure from here. They have a lot of funky stuff. Not much in the way of quality Mexican art. They had baskets from Pakistan & a lot of cheap trinkets. Ended up with a Guatemalan statue, which is cool, but, overall...I'd hoped it would it would have more quality stuff being in Scottsdale. Went to a place in Guadalupe (Mercado Mexico) and it was overflowing with amazing Mexican arts & crafts. Go there...they are a family owned business that's been there 30 years! Fair pricing and nice selection for inside and out. read more
