This place was a great experience we found out about it via Instagram. They also sell items online but the experience of the shop is worth visiting if you are into items like these. They have cute items and the staff is welcoming. So many colorful items! Check it out if you are in San Diego!

Visiting San Diego for the first time and I found this super cute shop on IG. I had to make sure I made a stop before leaving- and I wasn’t disappointed. THIS PLACE IS SOOOOO CUTEEEE ! Has a lot of Mexican decor, jewelry, and culture. They have an online shop as well so Incase you can’t make it to the actual shop, please support them by buying online.

Received a gift from this sweet shop and it was hands down the best gift packaging I’ve ever seen! Visiting San Diego for the first time in March and can’t wait to stop in. ¡Gracias por un muy feliz cumpleaños! :)

Such great items! They sell consignment items, books, clothing, foods, candies, jewelry, decorations, games, and so much more. Amazing location to get gifts. Service is great and they will also package your items nicely if you are getting it as a gift.

I dont have enough words to express how much I love this store. Its so much more than just a store...its a piece of culture that is so unique and so beautiful and Im blessed to have visited it. It was VERY hard to resist maxing out my credit card because I wanted every single item in the store. Cookbooks, stickers, jewelry, housewares, clothes, shoes, anything and everything Selena...this place is a MUST when visiting San Diego.

Im so happy to have found this store! Living in western NY, I dont have easy access to some of the items Artelexia sells, so its so great they ship all over the country! Every order has shipped SO fast. I honestly dont know how they do it because they put so much care in making the package beautiful. The items are wrapped in a fun, patterned tissue paper and the package itself includes fun candy, confetti, stickers and postcards. I cant wait to buy again. You just cant get this level of service anywhere else! Thank you!

Vibrant, Mexican storefront in North Park - Elexias shop is absolutely adorable & muy photo-worthy! I could wander this shop for hours browsing the unique art, gifts, jewelry, pottery, crafts, aesthetic, etc. dont miss the evening workshops and events she hosts too - we had a blast at millennial lotería last week.

I just received my package from Artelexia and I am completely floored! Not only did it arrive quickly (faster than most giant retailers) but it was so fun to open! The box had colorful stickers and each item was wrapped with tissue & string, even came with a few postcards! I felt as if I scoured the internet for this place and feel super blessed to have found it, I will absolutely order from here again. Even the confetti with the BEANS made my day (Mexican woman from California living in the Pacific Northwest, I needed this more than I could put into words) ¡Gracias por todo!

This place is 100% legit. Buuuut, a little expensive for me; kinda more for tourists afraid to go to Barrio Logan.

Ive been going to Artelexia since they were a small shop on India. Lexia and her husband Miguel are lovely hosts, every event they offer is fun and vibrant. Their workshops are creative and always have nice people there. Plus their store is chocked full of awesome finds from Oaxaca and other states in Mexico. Ten years ago, I bought a beautiful cruz con flores From Artelexia that has moved with me to the countries, hanging proudly on my walls. This is just the type of place that youll cherish what you find there.

I encourage Mexican folk art collectors in the San Diego area and beyond to shop at this gift shop. Also, if you enjoy rock painting there is a new book available on Amazon.com called Rock Painting For Kids Mexican Folk Art Style, by Maria Sandoval.

Cute merch. A bit overpriced. Can just go to tj and buy same stuff. But i guess you pay for convenience and a flare of boujie mixed in. Still great for gifts and party decor.

I was so excited to visit Artelexia, after following the store on Instagram. Unfortunately; when we walked in, only one employee was kind enough and took the time to greet me and my family. Its a cute shop, we would of spent more time and money had I felt more welcomed.

For the lovers of Frida Kahlo and all things feminine Mexican culture, Artelexia is the place for you! Full of vibrant colors from floor to ceiling, the small home goods gift store offers a variety of items from hand-painted drinkware to colorful wool ball garlands. They have embroidered children’s blouses and plenty of Frida memorabilia.

Nice small mexican ethnic gift shop. Has everything from books to candles and bags/clothing as well as ceramics. The price is a bit steep but considering that everything is mostly local sourced youre helping out the local economy which is nice. I ended up getting their horchata scented candle which smells great but doesnt last very long in a room which is disappointing since you drop 15 dollars on a relatively small candle.

This Store was AMAZING! I wish the Owner Came AND DECORATED My Humbled 2 Bedroom Apt. It was like walking into a Freda Kahlo Museum! I totally fell in love with it. Came from Austin to visit my daughter and she knew I would love this place just as much as she does! A lot of Lotería decor and all around phenomenal Cositas Mexicanas para el hogar. Great gifts for self or others. Customer Service Top Notch. Loved the location too. Please open one just like this in Austin Tx! We all have been missing Artelexia there! 😘😍🤗😇
