Most hardware stores in Tj kinda suck, even Home Depot, although it has a big selection it doesn't…read morehave a lot of options, and is extremely overpriced compared to its US counterparts, not to mention out of the way.
Fara on the other hand is centrally located, has a failry large selection for its size, decent prices, in addition to all the normal hardware store stuff they also have a decent sized selection of used commercial (and a few domestic) appliances, and parts to repair them too like motors and compressors, they also have a small selection of restaurant stuff, plates, glasses, coffee pots, etc. Some pet supplies, dogs, chickens, horses (i think). Chemicals from pretty dangerous like caustic soda and hydrochloric acid to the fairly benign things with 100's of uses like borax, and sulfur powder in bulk, and if all that wasn't enough, right outside they have tacos and transvestites 24/7-if thats your sort of thing!
