This is one of the better poster stores I have come across in a long time. I am very biased, however, because there are a few things that I specifically look for at places like this: 1. Cool greeting cards. (Check.) There was this collection of cards called "Kid Quotes" that cracked me up. In fact, most of the cards here were basically fancy packages for witty quotes. But that is fine by me. 2. Rothko. (Check.) A surprising amount of poster stores have either zero or very few Mark Rothko posters. Aztec Graphics had plenty. 3. Knowledgeable employees. (Unfortunately this is not a check.) The lady who worked here did not know how to pronounce "Basquiat." She even passive aggressively corrected me even though I pronounced it right. You know how people do that, say the same word you just said right after you said it, but over-enunciate it loudly instead of just flat-out telling you "No. Say That like This." I let it go at the time but it's definitely costing her a star now. AV read more

I am so impressed with Aztec Graphics! Husband bought me a print (from Orange & Park--google them!) for Christmas and we needed a 24x24 frame. Not your typical size and we looked everywhere locally for one. Orange & Park recommended Aztec Graphics for framing options, as they carry this coveted size. The employees were super friendly and helpful. They showed us the frame options and even framed our print for us. We actually purchased another print and frame combo and they switched out the print we already had for one of a different color, so both prints match. The service here is top notch and the prices are fair! I'd definitely make the drive from OC again if we needed something specific. Thanks Aztec! read more

Went here over the weekend to find some decor to spruce up my dining area/poker room. Barbara and the staff set me right up with picture suggestions, and framing options! It's a good idea to have a general idea of what u want before entering, that way the staff doesn't have to spend time showing every available print to you. The coolest part is they actually have a lot of standard size frames right there in the store to fit the prints they sell, so you don't have to pay a custom frame charge. But if a custom-size frame is what u want, they're on it. I also ended up finding some awesome hip panoramas for the living room as well! Key word here is selection. There's a little something for everyone at Aztec. I was framed and out the door in minutes at a total cost of around $48. Totally worth the drive. Best part is you can walk across the street to Luna Empanadas and get lunch w the $ you just saved. read more

Awesome place with a great selection and good prices. A lot of variety - there's art posters like Monet and Dali, as well as movie and celeb posters. Plenty of beach and city landscapes (a bunch of cities, not just SD). The customer service here rocks. Barbara was nice enough to put the poster in the frame for me free of charge, which saved me a hassle at home. She was also very friendly and wrapped up the poster/frame nicely so it did not get damaged on the way home. She even gave me a nail and hook! Bonus: Aztec Graphics is on a block with a bunch of other cool stores, so it's totally worth it to head over there. It's usually easy to find parking on the side streets. read more

I tried this place based on Yelp reviews and I'm glad I did. When I walked in I was a little skeptical because the person working seemed too young to be experienced, but I asked him a few questions and it turns out this is a family-owned business and he had been doing this kind of work for many years. This was a relief because I had a special framing order for something that was priceless and had sentimental value. It was hard to hand something over to strangers with full trust that not only would they get the job done, but perfectly as well. The job was done one day ahead of the time they estimated, and was done exactly to the specifications we agreed upon ahead of time. I'm very pleased with the work done here and would bring all my framing here in the future. read more

Remember what I said about the lack of pre-20th century paintings? Well that was remedied by the awesomeness of the owner who kindly let me order anything from a huge collection of art catalogs at no extra cost. Very reasonable prices on framing, etc. and now my bedroom can bask in the glory of "The Fighting Temeraire" and a Kurz and Allison Civil War print. What more can you ask from a place like this? Also, they had a bargain bin where I was able to snatch up some posters of Manet, Eakins, and Cezanne works for $5 each. Heck of a deal. Upping this review to 5-stars and will probably be back if I get the urge/cash to rotate. read more

Aztec Graphics is pretty awesome! They have an array of posters and art for a good price.. Anything from paintings, to music posters, to sport posters.. ...however I was kinda disappointed in the sports poster selection. I really reaaaaaally wanted an LA kings poster, but they only had like 20 sport posters in all. They could definitely stock that section better. Besides that minor let down this place is legit! I've gotten some sick posters. A huge Incubus poster.. Rage Against The Machine.. and Sublime! They were all under $20! read more

It was my first time coming into this framing shop or any framing shop. Tim immediately gave me options and helped me with what I was looking for. He was kind, professional and did a great job framing the art. Will return for any framing needs! read more

All 3 original Star Wars posters have been framed and couldn't be happier with the work. They all look terrific and the service is top notch. What I liked the most is that for each poster I was asked if I was absolutely sure I wanted to mount/frame them because the value would go down (again, these are ORIGINAL STAR WARS MOVIE POSTERS that hadn't seen the light of day since the 80s, two of which had never so much as been on a wall). That, I think, shows the level of care and professionalism that they put into their work. Highly recommend and thanks for the terrific work on the posters. read more

This review is only for the customer service of Aztec Printing, not the actual printing as we have not gotten our prints back yet. It has been 2 weeks so we expect them any day now... Top notch for sure. Both mother and son were super knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and it honestly felt like they really had an interest in our pictures turning out great. It was a bit expensive although we used our Yelp gift certificate which helped a lot, but you have to remember that framing is always expensive. But I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of or that they were selecting the most expensive mounting and frames. I felt like I got honest and trustworthy help and I'm excited to see how our pictures turn out. I have been to Michael's and taken advantage of their coupons too. In comparison I felt the price was the same but the customer service was lacking. The person at Michael's obviously could care less in helping me choose frames or in trying to save me money. They seemed like they just didn't care. We only went to get things framed but there were a ton of prints available to buy framed or not. There's a specific picture I have my eye on that I will be purchasing when we pick up our pictures. Support small business! Especially this one! read more

I had a couple things framed here. They were extremely friendly and offered great service. However... I don't think of them as cheap. I think they are comparable to Aaron Brother and Michaels on price. I had two prints roughly around 18x24 framed without mattes for around $225 total. But, I would rather give them my business then some huge chain. I just need to find a cheaper addiction then posters. Oh, and I think it's annoying they ask for ID with a credit card. It's a pet peeve of mine. read more

I put a $300 frame on a $15 print and it was so worth it! I got home and my husband had already put it on the wall and I just sat and stared for a good fifteen minutes. It looks so freakin' awesome. I went in with two prints and rolled them out on the table and told the guy (who was awesome) what I wanted and he laughed because I put an inexpensive frame with no mat on the big poster but I wanted a huge fat over-the-top gold frame with wide bright red matting for my little Life Aquatic print. He showed me some frame styles that were on sale but when I picked out the biggest gold frame I could find and the brightest red mat in the stack he didn't try to talk me out of it, which was important, because I went in there knowing what I wanted and there's nothing worse than unwelcome criticism, even when it's meant to be constructive. We all see art differently, that's what makes it art, right? Thank you for letting me do my own crazy thing! He estimated two weeks, but we got them sooner. Also, amazing selection of posters! We got a giant Bela Lugosi print to stare people down in the bathroom. Put him facing the toilet. Nothing like having Dracula judge you while you drop a deuce. read more

Went in to get a custom framing job done as a gift and was incredibly pleased with the final outcome. At first I was hesitant to go in because from the outside it looks like it would be more expensive than bringing it to a named brand store, but to my surprise it wasn't! Barb helped me out and go me exactly what I needed for my print, including custom matting, and a stock frame they had. Originally I was going to get a custom frame because my print was an odd size, but we discussed pricing and colors and came to the conclusion we could use a stock frame with some custom matting to achieve an awesome picture for less price. I was VERY satisfied with the outcome and the service, highly recommended! They have a lot of cool posters in there too, great place all in all, I'll be back with my next prints! read more

Nice family owned business. They have been at this location for as long as I remember, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I walked in to have a job done. Barbara helped me choose the correct frames and got the job done well ahead of the anticipated time. The price was right too... I returned a couple times more for smaller framing projects, and have not been disappointed. No more trips to Aaron Bros... read more

Been going to them for about 7 years now. At one point I switched over to Aaron Brothers as it was a more convenient distance to my house--major mistake. Pros: * Professionals who really understand their craft. Unlike the big chains who seem to hire low-wage, unskilled employees, these guys know their business * An eye for art. It's not enough to just be able to put a wood frame together, but actually help you pick out the colors and textures that will suit your project. * Prices aren't rock bottom, but way, way more for your money than Aaron Brothers or the other places. Aztec did a frame for $170 that AB quoted over $400 on. Cons: * Not a lightning fast turnaround * Shop is somewhat small, so inventory isn't expansive * Parking can get an issue on Garnet. 4 stars overall and an easy recommendation. read more

I absolutely love this place. If you're looking for retro pictures this is the best place to find it. Awesome customer service and reasonable prices. I will definitely return for future purchases. read more

These guys have been here for years, and with good reason. They are good. From poster prints to framing, this is a great store. Huge selection, varied applications, custom work as well ... read more

I am a huge fan of the custom framing they do at Aztec Graphics. I originally came here with a daily deal website voucher I had - and I was happy with the service and knowledge provided to my family (my wife and 2 year old were with me). The artwork we had framed is unique, and the finished pieces were incredible. I decided to get more work done on the spot, and can't wait to pick it up. The atmosphere is very laid back and low pressure. We weren't urged to go with more expensive frames or upgraded options, which is a huge plus in my book. There is a ton of artwork in the store too - enough to suit any taste. Even though I live in North County, I will make the trek to P.B. to get custom framing done because of the service and quality of work I received. read more

I love this place. They have something for everyone. Posters, frame work, ect. I went here to see what they had because I needed some artwork to decorate my apartment. Turns out they had Andy Warhol posters. Well, they won me after that. Only $7 for each poster. I was on a budget so I came out with quite a few. I've been a customer ever since ! read more

Family business, great work, very prompt with framing! Very much recommended! They did my frame in 2 days!!!! Beautiful work. Thank you Aztec Graphics read more

I'd give at least 4 stars for the people I spoke to (the woman and girl who helped decide what to do with my pictures, and the guy who handed to me on the day that I picked them up). However, I was not happy with the quality. I got a photo mounted on foamboard, and the photo has roughed-up edges and scratches and nicks on it. It looks like someone used a razor to scratch it (more than once). After reading many favorable reviews, I'd expected better. read more

Barbra has done many custom jobs for me all of which turned out amazing. Aztec Graphics has the mom and pop feel right in the heart of PB. In addition to doing custom matting, and framing they have a large selection of posters, and framed artwork (often from local artists). I love supporting places like this, and when the quality matches the customer service your guaranteed a great experience. Aztec graphics is worth a north county drive; I continue to use them after moving from PB, they are the best! read more

This place is great. Not just your typical poster store to fill up those college dorm room walls, they have a very eclectic selection to chose from....tons of variety to please the masses. Its one of those places thats hard to walk out of without buying something because there's always something cool that will catch your eye. Ive bought several things from here and have been nothing but satisfied. They are super helpful and friendly and it doesn't break the bank. Cool shop, I definitely recommend checking this place out!! read more

My frame broke on a picture my parents gave me and I had no idea where to take it. I was impressed that they were nice even though it wasn't something they usually do and it was a small job but they made it look new. read more

Aztec is better than Aaron Brothers, hands down. Great customer service and overall experience, much cheaper than Aaron Brothers as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Simply amazing service. They know what kind of frame will look best with your art and they are willing to spend as much time as is needed with their customers. Prices aren't bad and they have a wide selection of customizable frames. read more

I've taken a few nice prints and original artwork here and I love the quality of work I got back. A really sweet family owned business with lots of options based on your cost and creativity constraints. Checkout the inexpensive standard frames they make with scrap pieces! read more

I cannot begin to say enough good things about Barbara and her team at Aztec Graphics. I just recently moved into a new place and stumbled in their one day just to check out the frames and ended up getting 4 different pieces matted and framed there. The best customer service, awesome prices, and very quick turnaround on framing. I will definitely be coming here for all of my future framing needs. read more

This place is the best and Barbra is one of the sweetest ladies I have had the opportunity to work with! They have a million and one options for you to choose from and have a wonderful eye for helping you decide the right choice. Thanks so much for all your good work Aztec Graphics and crew! read more

Wow! Can't say enough about these guys! Great experience from start to finish. They helped me choose all the particulars of the frame and walked me through the process so I felt comfortable. Amazing service, great price and a fantastic result! I'll be coming back! read more

Aztec Graphics - Framing Near Me - San Diego, California

Aztec has done several custom framing jobs for me, and I was more than pleased each time. They make helpful suggestions about frame color and style, matte color, etc. I went to Michael's thinking I'd get a lower price, but Aztec's prices were competitive and the personal touch and quality was impressive. Will certainly be back with more pieces in the future! read more

This place is great, Tim took amazing care of us on our latest project this week-matting and framing my grandpas old movie poster. He helped suggest matting and made everything perfect. We are from PB and we take all of our framing needs to Aztec. Family run and totally reliable. Fair pricing and very professional. So psyched on our latest pieces-thanks Tim! read more

I love this place! I went in today to get a photo framed, and ended up getting a beautiful hand made frame for a great price. Barbara cut my photo to fit, attached the hardware on the back, and gift wrapped. Such a great shopping experience! read more

Great quality. Equally great prices especially vs Moreno options that are 2x-3x more cost. Also quick turnaround. Barbara wonderful to work with. Has handled 20+ high end $5000-$10,000-$50,000+ pcs. Great one on one service. read more

We love this place! So well stocked and lots to choose from. Helpful staff and they want to see that you're happy when you leave.

While living in San Diego I worked here for nearly 4 years. I have to say in all my travels, I have never found anything like it anywhere else. Best prices on custom framing around and a better selection of posters and art prints than you could find anywhere else. If you have a place in need of art and not tons of $, you can not do better than Aztec Graphics. If you have the $ you can have more pieces framed better for 1/2 the price... Can't beat it. The owners are lovely people to boot and being a small business owner myself I have to say it is always better to give your business to a mom and pop, than to some generic big box chain. read more

They did a great job framing and matting my Rene Magritte print. They helped me choose really nice and complementary colors for the matting. They also had it ready in a reasonable amount of time. They have some prints and tons of cheap ready-made frames too. read more

Aztec Graphics is more than your local neighborhood framing shop. They have a huge selection of prints and artwork. They also do great custom framing at reasonable prices. Pick a piece that is already finished and ready for take home or have them make your own! read more

The people that work there care so much about everyone's wants and needs so they're always eager to help. they are seriously the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met, especially the young gentleman Tim. He is young (and very handsome) but he's a pro so he knows about everything and much more than other people from other places I tried in the past. Me, my family and friends have used their services for a long time and we're always blown away by the results. I would never recommend any other place because Aztec Graphics is the best at framing and pricing. They also have a huge variety of posters and framing options. FIVE STARS without a doubt!! read more

Great selection of art. From Andy Warhol, to Peter Lik, as well as some local artists. Not overly pricey like a lot of art galleries. Around $8-$12 for a medium sized print (unframed). $20-$35 for a larger print. My girlfriend got a 8x10 Warhol framed for $28. Friendly, helpful staff as well. read more
