This lot has about 10 spaces and part of that 10 belongs to the Smoke Shop. This thrift stores has plenty to offer! From large framed prints for the wall to roller skates. Plenty to look at. There is an upper level where furniture, wall hangings to glassware is displayed. It's pretty roomy up there even with the furniture. I found the prices to be reasonable too. I would have like to purchase a couple of large wall pieces home, but I had no room to pack in my car since I was camping. The wall pictures I found to be priced lower than I expected! That's a plus. At the front of the store on the front porch were anything on wheels and outdoor furniture. You can tell the store has been there awhile. But it was well organized and clean. The staff were all friendly. The staff are men who are making a positive change in their lives. This place gives them the opportunity to work. This store has a sister store a building over, The Restoration Store. Go check that one out too.

He made our experience so memorable, we laughed, we smiled, we cried (I'm kidding about the crying). He cut me a deal on the 10" pan lid that was unmarked, and I offered a dollar, and Jesse offered a coin flip. I won! 75cents for the pan lid instead of $2 Then he did the coin flip for my friend! Which she lost out on the deal. It was very fun. Good variety items always, great prices, and Jesus music on the stereo. Love la Tienda.

Also, when I walked in she said if you find something you like, bring it up to her and she will usually do a deal for less than the marked price. So, don't be afraid to ask her. She is also willing to purchase or trade for unique things. So, it can't hurt to bring it by and see if she's interested in yours.

As I walked past them, one of the women said "we close in 7 minutes so make it quick quick!" In a snarky tone and continued to stare me down. So I turned around "quick quick" and left.

This store is the sister store to La Tienda Thrift one building over. As you enter the store you will find clothing racks lined on each side. On top of the racks shoes are displaced on top. I bypassed the clothing so I forgot to check the pricing of the merchandise. I headed downstairs where you will find furniture, houseware, books and some radio, speakers etc... I was looking for some glassware to use for water storage when I do my watercolors. But, instead I found some small red/orange bowls I will keep in my camping trailer along with a nice medium size mixing/serving bowl. That will stay in my trailer as well. The price for those items were extremely reasonable! $1 for the small crate and barrel bowl and $3 for the mixing/serving bowl! I noticed that in thrift stores we visited the houseware were very economical! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Parking is a big issue down this entire street. Some of street parking has a two hour time limit. Some of the business don't have their own designated parking.

Pictures will verify this! Looking at some of the prices, I was surprised to see hundred dollar items, that should be (in my opinion) half of what they're asking. Many thrift shops have discount days, or colored price tags, for special special days where things are discounted. Sometimes there are dates on the pricing, and at the end of the month things are majorly reduced. I didn't find anything signage wise that indicated that the prices may change. Finally, after 15 minutes, the gentleman that also seems to be monitoring the door that's facing the register, acknowledged me. But he didn't ask if I'm looking for anything in particular. I usually appreciate it when they do because I did have some things in mind such as a vintage rain lamp, (it's an item from the 70s that one would put mineral oil in it and it would look like droplets of rain falling down) Haven't seen one for sale in a while.

I love the name of the place too, how perfect. I would definitely return to this store. Especially if I knew ahead of time I had somewhere fancy to go to!

Then I found out they are all there on consignment, and the owner, a very nasty female, taking exorbitant commissions as her 'fee.' So the other day I was in SC and so I popped in and brought home some used garments in my size. (Still overpriced I see). After wearing a shirt from them, I got the most awful rash of my life and had go to my derm doc, taking the garment with me and found out the garment was loaded with something akin to bed bugs and they bit me all to heck and back. I had to take medicine to get over it and it took over two weeks to resolve. When I asked the owner for a refund, (very nasty lady, did I mention that, rude and condescending), telling her what happened, she flatly refused and so I ended up throwing the garment away! Awful place. Awful owner. Check her other reviews - she was asked to leave Capo Beach by the city of Dana Point and had awful reviews from many people in Dana Point so she fled. STAY AWAY!!

She told me $60 because it was silk but the tag said it was a polyester blend..... could get a silk scarf for $20 from another store on Del Mar.

I was happy that dogs were welcomed in all the shops we visited including Casita De Kathy since both my friends had their fur babies with them. This shop is adjacent to a couple of shops that sits on the corner. It's a small shop with mostly clothing wear and jewelry to check out. There were some toys, shoes and some housewares. I'm always on the hunt for things I could use for camping. No luck with camping things, but even though I said I was done shopping for 60's, 70's theme for an upcoming event, I'm still buying things when I find something cute! So my purchase during this visit was a cute necklace, which I found to be a good price, $7. Customer service is very friendly and welcoming.
