This store pretty much helped me cover 75% of my souvenir gifts for the family. Was also nice and organized, and the ladies working the shop were always available to help you. I especially liked the witty graphic tees, and the variety of Dia de Los Muertos art there. Oh my gah… I do have to own up to an accident I had in the shop. Ya see… I didn’t know the leather chaps looking shot glass wasn’t actually glued to the glass, so when I tipped my hand to gesture to something I wanted my boyfriend to pick up for me, the glass fell out shattering on the floor. *MORTIFIED* I guess there really is a first for everything in life. Anyway… I was totally prepared to pay for the shot glass as well as the new one I picked up as a replacement, but one of the ladies was nice enough to just replace the glass I broke with one from the back. Oh my gah… Thanks again! And I’m still really, really, really sorry!

Lots of great stuff including tons of day of the dead themed items. My favorites were the cute little skull ceramics which miraculously survived the flight back to Boston. Fun to walk around and enjoy everything. I also have to give special props to one of the store employees who let me exchange a ceramic sun wall hanging. My friend asked me to pick one up when we split up for the day and I came here. But, my friend didn’t like the one I selected and want a different color. The chick was so chill about the return and really helped me out! Definitely one of the best shops to visit in Old Town!

Great place to buy souvenirs and Mexican folk art. The Oaxacan woodcarvings are beautiful. They also stock a lot of day of the dead figurines. It definitely is a must when you’re in the old town area.

Friendly staff and great gift items! I wasn’t followed or eyed like I was at Bazaar del Mundo, and was treated respectfully, along with receiving excellent tips from staff on local art and events. Nice Day of the Dead art as well! Got an amazing Frida piece here 75% off :-) I’ll definitely be back.

So I rarely fall in love with stores, but being a huge Dia de Los Muertos fan, I truly am in LOVE with this store. Honestly, it’s one of the best stores in Old Town. They have really gorgeous, unique, high quality items. Art, clothing(from traditional Mexican wear to very chic and modern), hair accessories, jewelry, trinkets, ornaments, scarves, greeting cards – everything, you name it – all at reasonable prices. And during DDLM they feature amazing artists showcasing their artwork. Love it. I always find something cool and unique here that I know I won’t find anywhere else. They never disappoint. Staff is great too. Very helpful when you’re on the hunt for something specific, although a little«hover-ish», but that’s to be expected when the store is jam packed during that time of the year. Stores can never be too careful. Anywho, definitely pay them a visit next time you’re there!

Great tourist shop! Lots of Dios De La Muertos things! Friendly staff, offering help. Feels a bit crowded but really wasn’t. If it had been busier, certainly it would have been cramped. But we went on Wednesday, November 13th(yesterday). I did not make a purchase but my girlfriend did! Very happy with her items! I wish I had more money! They have some great artwork on display and for sale! Someday!

LOVE this store! If you like Day of the Dead sculptures and art, this is the place to visit. They carry beautiful skeleton artwork by John de Jesus and the Catrina dolls are amazing — unlike any I’ve seen elsewhere(they run around $ 200 each, but are very well made). The nicer items are pricey, but worthwhile. The store also has a souvenir section where you can find different items for far less in price(trinkets, purses, shirts, etc.). If you are visiting Old Town San Diego, definitely check out their artwork and sculptures.

Another outstanding Mexican folkart shop in Old Town San Diego. They have awesome masks, great t-shirts, Peruvian pottery, Dia de los Muertos things, albrijes, and all types of souvenirs. I love this place! Prices are reasonable, and they are even willing to text you pics of their items if you want something shipped to you. I look forward to shopping here again in May for Cinco de Mayo weekend.

I have been coming to Old Town since I was a kid and was pretty bummed when they closed the Bazaar del Mundo but I recently went for Sunday brunch and they do still have some great little shops! This was one of them. Tons of hand made Mexican gifts. They sell a lot of local made products and it is just an all around great gift shop. A lot of variety and I couldn’t even begin to start naming all of the the things! If you are in Old Town you have to mosey on into this place!
