Taxi Taxi Clothing

Went in looking for a specific color dress I needed for a themed party and after grabbing a few things to try on I asked the girl if she had a bathroom and she said no. I asked where she uses the restroom and she said she has to lock up and leave every time (which I doubt) I really had to pee and decided it was more important than looking through these clothes while the sales associate took selfies so we left.

I personally love this place! Always have the look I’m looking for when I can’t find it in stores. The prices are so– so (expected from the location and it’s a resale shop). There is a variety of different looks. I never cared for the shoes personally but saw a few i would buy. As far as customer service, I mostly deal with male workers and they seemed to be welcoming and helpful. The female workers helped also but manly stayed behind the counter on register. I will be returning in the future and is a neat little shop

The clothing here is slanted more toward the hipster angle (not my usual tastes), but the staff were very friendly and helpful, and sorted through my clothes to sell very quickly and respectfully. I don’t know who (in the shop) other Unilocalers were talking about, saying they were rude or inattentive… I found them to be very pleasant and engaging. They took about 6 of my items, and I felt I got a pretty good deal for them; afterall, it is a business, and they do have to turn a profit.

Walking up I already wasn’t already into it, because the only person who worked there was outside on her phone smoking a cigarette. I didn’t know at first she worked there then once she came in minutes after I did I realized that was the only person I was going to be able to speak to. I brought in varies items she literally look at me at my friend more then she did the clothes. Made me very uncomfortable and was extremely unprofessional. She stared at us like as if I dropped a bomb and she smelt it. Didn’t even take one piece of clothing a chance. Had 5 I teams out of my many that she was gonna take but at the last minute gave them back. She only had on winged eye liner. With blue eyes. Saw through my soul.

Curious collection of anything and everything.
Not a stand out Must Go shop till you drop haunt.
More like swing by if you have a few minutes to spare. Decent. Not desirable!

Cleaned out the closet and wanted to see what I could get for my clothes, or better yet exchange! (Most of the pieces I had were work clothes, but I had some other stuff in there too.) I took my clothes here since I’ve had a good experience in the past. Today was a different story. My husband and I had the pleasure of dealing with some albino girl with an attitude. As soon as we walk in she was talking to some other patrons and walked away from them by saying «today is not a day to talk to me about clothes.» She walks around the corner and asks if we wanted to exchange and I said yes. I did preface that we had a number of professional pieces in there and she said «we don’t take that stuff, we take youthful trendy pieces.» Oh OK. She goes through our stuff very smug like and I asked if they couldn’t take it could she suggest somewhere that could. Simple question, she continues to say «um I’m not sure, but you could check the Internet, the Internet has everything online.» Hmmm. I’m aware that the Internet has everything like how to deal with people, how to have customer service, and maybe look for a real job. But whatever. She goes through it all and while walking away from us without eye contact says, «yea we can’t use any of this… BYE!» Never coming back. And I wish I didn’t have to give this place one star but since Unilocal doesn’t allow zero… here you go.

I had spent many hours at this location in a past life – as in when it had cool clothing which my high school peers were not able to come up with.
And now learning that this location had bought out – and sold out is heartbreaking. Yes, I assume that people could always go to ebay or ‘another’ store.
But this was the gold standard for being ‘different’. Now it’s just overpriced and run of the mill. I can’t possibly fathom why the store would have given up it’s customer base.

The only word I can use to describe Taxi Taxi is «meh.» There is nothing special about this place. They have a pretty small, boring selection of clothes, shoes, and accessories. I’ve shopped here several times hoping to score something good but I’ve never walked out with a purchase.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a waste of time to check it out; I just wouldn’t expect to find a whole lot.

Every time I go down to the Montrose area, I never think about walking in here. For the one or two times I did, the service is a little off, and I’m not a huge fan of T-​shirts of soccer leagues or anything like that.
But their shoes are another story! Since I can rarely find cute shoes on the larger scale of shoe sizes, this place actually took me by surprise. They have racks and racks of super cute shoes in many different sizes. I’m not big on name brand, so their collection is fine for me. On one trip, I picked up two pairs of flats for about $ 19.50 each, but when I went to check out, the guy at the register gave me this awkward look and said, «Um, these shoes are actually $ 27.90 (or so). They’re mislabeled.» And he stuck another red price sticker on them. This was kind of annoying to me because it felt like they just jacked up the price for no reason. I stood there and thought about it for a while and he seemed to be annoyed that I had to think about it. I bought them regardless. The shoes were such poor quality, but that was a bad decision on my part. After I checked out, I just walked out with no proper «thank you» or «have a nice day». He just handed me my bag and I walked away.
Not interested in coming back but two stars for the shoes? Sure, why not.

I’ve been going to Taxi Taxi for a few years now. However, I haven’t been in about a year. I visited here last weekend with my fiancé. This was his first time. I am an avid «thrifter» and constantly hit up the Salvation Army and Value Village for some unique finds or for some items to resale, and he hates those stores. I think he liked this one because everything wasn’t super old or «thrifty» and he’s more of an «on-​trend» guy who prefers newer items.
So, to my surprise, the prices seem A LOT more expensive than I remember. I ran across a pair of hot pink suede wedge platforms shoes with a price tag of about $ 45. That’s outrageous. The label was a very cheap brand like «Delicious» where the prices are normally around $ 15 – 25 brand new. This was outrageous. I wasn’t interested in any of the clothes, so my shopping venture stopped with shoes.
However, my fiancé found 2 very vintage jean jackets. One was Levi’s, one wasn’t. The Levi’s one was very vintage, and even acid washed. Very cool and unique. There was even a special, buy one and get the other half off (in jackets).
But, they are wayyy better than Buffalo Exchange across the street, price and selection wise.

3 stars for their great selection of shoes and how organized this store is!
Other than that, I was a bit disappointed by this place. It is huge… but they mostly have very overpriced t-​shirts (yea they’re new, but still!!!) and their dress sizes vary from 0 to 6 max. Couldn’t find anything bigger than that.

I’ve only been here once and maybe sometime in the future I’ll come back, who knows?
My experience coming here was just so-​so, I was told that this place is catered to people who are more in the hipster… maybe hippy scene based on the kinds of clothes the store sells. So I got excited because my personal taste is just the opposite, I like pretty polo’s and structured shirts and my friend told me that all the polo’s are like 10 bucks which is a good deal for a Ralph or Tommy polo.
When I got there the building is just like all the reviews claimed it would be… slightly dingy and rundown but it didn’t bother me the shape of the store looked like it fit into the kind of crowd that it was catering to. What bothered me about this place were the prices of the items. I saw many shirts used from forever 21 that cost more at this resale shop than if you had gone into xxi to begin with. And at the same time there were Marc by Marc Jacobs shirts (that I grabbed immediately) priced at 8. Now that’s not what I’m bothered by I really enjoy that. :) Also I found a real… a REAL Burberry polo top for under 10… confusion?
Other than that I think that Buffalo Exchange is going to have a better selection with less rifling though hordes of clothes in order to find what you like.

I only go in here to sell stuff. I’ve looked around whilest waiting for them to price… the shoes always sucked (and it was some offbrand that I didn’t know). They have an enormous stock of used jeans, which is weird. I’ve never found anything I’d buy there.
In general, I don’t do vintage shopping in store anywhere. I do it online. Most actual vintage stores seem to just buy any crap they can find, but online stores are a bit more choosy (the good ones anyway).

I kinda wish I read these reviews before checking this place out but it might have skewed my view.
I was introduced to this store via a friend on a random outing not looking for anything in particular. I found a few interesting things but really didn’t get the full amount of time to browse. Seemed like an interesting assortment of clothes. I have to agree with the other posts about the shoes they are not that cute and overpriced.
I had no trouble with the staff but I also wasn’t trying to sell anything or a complex retail situation ;)
I might go again on a whim.

Not really sure about the clothing component of this dig, I was a patron of the Vault Piercing Studio instead which is located inside Taxi Taxi. Dallas was my piercing specialist and he did a superb job.
For an old lady from the suburbs like me, coming to this place was a little out of my comfort zone, but Dallas was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was here to repierce my navel, which closed up after my 1^st pregnancy. I was in and out within 30 minutes. He was patient with me while I selected the jewelry piece. Then he gave me a price quote of $ 45 for everything including the ring.
I had done my own research and knew what to expect, especially since it’s my 2^nd piercing and there was scar tissue involved. Talking to Dallas confirmed what I knew so rest assured, he was the real deal. And boy is he fast, I mean super fast.
My main concern was the amount of pain I’d have to endure, after all, a 14 gauge stake was going to impale the upper rim of my navel and there was scar tissue involved. However, the piercing pain lasted only a second, with Dallas talking through the process «and now the worst part is over»…“now I’m inserting the ring”…“we’re just about done here”. The whole thing was over within seconds. Afterwards he went over care instructions, and told me to call if there was a problem. He also told me he would change out my jewelry for free when it heals up, an added service MOST shops won’t offer.
The only piqué I had (pun intended) about this place was the lack of selection on jewelry. I was looking for gold decorative pieces to change in to when the pierce healed, but there wasn’t really much to choose from aside from silver and titanium pieces. Other than that, I’m super glad I came here and would happily return for future piercings (God forbidding).

So. .. I am all for shopping resale. .. especially when you are trying to come up with the perfect costume.
Ugggh. I felt so dirty after coming to Taxi Taxi.
The place feels moldy, and the clothes look like they are still dirty. I am afraid to even try anything on without getting fleas or hepatitis or something.
It’s like heroin addicts sell their clothes here for money when they need a fix.
Grace K. says in her review that they never buy her clothes. She should take it as a compliment. Her clothes are probably too nice.

how come they never buy my clothes!!!
There’s a large selection of tee’s, but I feel like they should be a little cheaper, like in the $ 5 — 8 range, not up to $ 15.
Sometimes you do get lucky and find something great and unstained that you can actually wear without looking too «vintage-​y».

Taxi Taxi, yet another thrift/​vintage store in the Montrose. They all start feeling the same at some point, but for some reason I rather enjoy Taxi Taxi, despite never having purchased anything from them. .. at least I don’t think I have?
Anyway, this store seems to be less discriminatory than Buffalo Exchange and slightly more inexpensive. There’s definitely more super duper really casual stuff here. If you’re lusting for some designer pieces, better off somewhere else. But if you’re looking for some tattered skinny jeans and a throw-​in print T-​shirt — you’ve arrived.
I do like perusing through the stuff and I encounter things I would surely appreciate, but for some reason, I’m usually super tired or unmotivated by the time I stop by here (I hit up the other stops first — not even purposefully, subconscious something going on? Do tell!) so I don’t feel compelled to actually try on anything/​purchase anything. But I totally will in the future, I swear! Many of my friends have acquired some really fitting outfits from here, so I am confident I will too. .. one day!
The shoe selection comprises of a great deal of new, but cheaply made currently-​in-​fashion heels, sandals, and the like. I don’t particularly recall there being much in terms of second-​hand shoe — I think it’s mostly the synthetic made in China shiny and/​or color patent leather and the like kind of stuff. All around $ 20 – 30 so you won’t be left suffering and/​or in tears perchance you scuff them (I do that sort of thing every single time I go out. .. awesome luck, I guess that’s why!).
There’s also a piercing partition in this store — a little creepy, but nothing like thrifting to work up a deep desire to pierce some fleshy part of you, I guess?
On the weekends, they have the $ 1 bins and racks outside. Can’t say I’ve ever spied anything worthwhile peeking out from the masses of highly unwanted articles of clothing, but if I was more of a good sport, I’m sure there could be a gem or two buried deep within the dozens of questionable looking attire.
Overall I think I am pretty sweet on this place. It’s more like a 3.5 than 4, but what the hey, I’ll definitely be back here sooner than later.

this place rips you off big time when you resell your clothes to them. i was told they give 50% cash back. 5 items (3 NEW dresses) and 2 shirts = $ 15. are you kidding me? i asked, how much are you going to sell the dresses for? «we usually sell the dresses for about $ 6» yeah, right! i saw t-​shirts being sold for $ 10. $ 6 my ass. i didnt want to waste my time arguing, so i took the money. i will never come back again. and this place stinks of body odor.
i’ll have better luck selling my clothes on craigslist.

I went here and found just what I was looking for BUT I shall not return because of the Special Ed staff. The vintage collection was cool, but the dumb ass stick figure of an employee was too lazy to take 30 min to make my shirt so he automatically told me without even looking that he didn’t have any of the prints I needed. B*&CH!!!
The employees at Buffalo Exchange are so much more friendlier and helpful. Although their selection is not as big as Taxi Taxi’s, I wouldn’t waste my time in there.
