I had an outstanding experience at El Centenario in Chula Vista. I came in looking for a suit, boots, and a belt for an upcoming wedding, and Enrique took the time to help me put together an outfit that exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of western wear, attention to detail, and eye for matching colors, materials, and styles made the entire process easy and enjoyable. What impressed me the most was the level of craftsmanship and customer service. Enrique custom-fitted and handcrafted an ostrich skin belt for me right there in the shop to ensure it fit perfectly. That level of dedication and expertise is something you rarely find anymore. He also recommended an excellent local tailor who completed the final alterations, making the entire experience seamless. Everyone at the store was courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. Their selection is not only extensive, but the quality of their western wear is unlike anything I've found elsewhere. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality western clothing and exceptional customer service, I can't recommend El Centenario enough. Enrique and his team went above and beyond, and I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases. read more

When the hat shaper says under his breath in Spanish, "looking for something for your boyfriend?" expecting I don't understand Spanish. No eye contact like he's talking to the computer screen with nothing on the monitor. Was going in to support a local business but was shocked that he would say something like that for no reason other than I'm not Mexican apparently. I do understand Spanish perfectly though sir. I should have told the manager but hopefully the manager will see this review and have a talk with his hat shaper. Totally inappropriate and uncalled for. read more

Pecimo servicio , revisen su ticket no aseptan devoluciónes esto es un fraude total de un día para otro ni en segundos después de tu compra no Aseptan devoluciones poco amables los empleados read more

Customer service was A1. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with a smile and asked how they can help. Prices are waaaaaay better than boot barn for high quality hats, clothes, and boots. They even helped me put together a shirt/hat combo for tonight. Only place I'll be going for all my cowboy gear. read more

El Centenario - Found the perfect pair of COMFORTABLE boots and they will accommodate a wider calf. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Chula Vista, California

My birthday gift to my wife this year was cowboy boots. (Cowgirl boots?) I made a list of five stores that sold women's cowboy boots and we started with El Centenario due to its proximity. The store's name refers to 'centennial', i.e. a one hundred year celebration, but that is definitely unrelated to my wife's age. It's easy to find, just a few blocks west of FWY 5 on the north side of H Street. Parking is no problem in this small strip center's lot. The store carries a vast selection of Western footwear, clothing, hats, belts and other accoutrements. There are two gorgeous saddles on display. We walked by several men outside the store when entering. We found no salesmen in the store, and decided to browse for a while. The group outside eventually finished its very important business, and two salesmen entered the store, but we were not greeted or acknowledged by them. There were dozens and dozens of mens and womens boots on the shelves, with few distinctions as to price or brand that I noticed. Many had no price markings at all. I also noticed that both the right and left boots were on display, each in different areas. This is an old trick to bolster the apparent magnitude of available inventory. Normally, only one of a pair is displayed. In any event, my wife found a pair of boots she wanted to try in her size and had to find the salesman to get some service. Nope, not quite right, but she saw another pair, and had to put her shoes back on and chase down the salesman for service. I found this lack of engagement by sales personnel quite at odds with selling items ranging up to $500. The good news is that she sold herself on a pair of boots, and the sale was made. The bad news is that the boots were a product of China. read more

They had a great selection of Stetson hats. I was able to find what I was looking for after going to four other shops. The customer service was on point. They knew exactly what sizes they had on hand. read more

El Centenario was referred to me by a local for authentic Western Wear. I was not immediately approached after entering. Perhaps it was because it was lunch time and employees were eating. But as a person new to this style of clothing, I appreciate that. After getting an idea of what was available, in stock, I asked an employee a question and she was very helpful. After trying on several pairs of boots I settled on the black charro botines. I wasn't taking notes, but off the top of my head they had durango, la barca, Los altos, and many more boot brands. I noticed white diamonds and Scully shirts. They also had two hand-tooled pistol rigs! There is much more in stock than what is shown on their Yelp and eBay stores. read more

Great customer service, took the time to help me find the right hat! Highly knowledgeable and highly recommend

So rude!!!! My boyfriend and I got there 25min before they were supposed to close, and when we pulled up the guy was trying to close. We walked up and asked what time they were supposed to close. He finally let us in and followed us to the back where the boots were. He was huffing and puffing and staring at us. We felt rushed and awkward. I wouldn't go back there even if I did like something! read more

I'm very impressed with this place. I thought Boot Barn and Wild Bill's were the only good places we have in San Diego, not so. This place might not be as big as the other two, but they have tons of western wear and many many choices for men and women, even kids. The gentleman at the cash register greeted us as we walked into the store, he was very courteous. We looked around and honestly, I wanted to stay there and look around longer. But he was about to close. Not that he said anything, I just wanted to respect their store hours. This place had some excellent hats, shirts, boots and fancy belts. The gentleman at the register was super knowledgeable about western wear. This is where I will purchase my next hat. I could tell the gentleman was passionate about his job and I bet he knows how to handle a nice hat. On the other hand, Boot Barn has screwed up a few of my friends hats, including my fiancé's. I will definitely be back again to purchase my Stetson and many other items. I highly recommend this place. Go check it out!!! read more

My step daughter wedding is coming soon and my husband wanted to wear a Mexican Wedding Shirt (long sleeve Guayabera) and he found this place online. We took a trip to check it out and they have a great selection of guayaberas, but not many of the long sleeve ones. They were very helpful and ordered a couple for my husband. We were concerned about the waiting time, but they had the new shirts the next day and we were very pleased with what we saw. They heard everything we wanted and they delivered. Very pleasant people to deal with, they know what "excellent service" means and they provided it to us. Thanks Manuel and your team for your help and service. We'll be coming back! P.S.: If you are into the western clothing, this is the place to go! read more

As Texans, when searching for a Stetson hat for my husband to wear in our daughter's Austin, TX wedding, we were particular and Manuel Perez and Lilly Lopez at El Centenario did not disappoint. Our experience exceeded expectations and my husband will look like J.R. at the Cattlemen's Ball! read more

Great service and very cool selection. Found a beautiful pair of El Presidente Chelsea boots for a good price. They were a little tight after a couple days of walking around in them. When I called back to inform them that I might like to return them in order to get boots with a better fit, they instead offered to stretch the boots for free! I got to keep my very favorite boots and they now fit me perfectly! Much thanks to Manuel. Will definitely come back for more beautiful boots in the future! They also have lots of other cool cowboy gear... Yay! read more

totally saved the day! We needed some guayaberas for a wedding in short notice. The shop keeper had my size on hand 3X (not easy to find) and he ordered the other two which came in a few days. The guayaberas were top notch felt very well made and extremely good value for what we paid. my experience was a good one. read more

When I called to ask a question, the person was very friendly, courteous and professional.

Top of the line. I worked with Henry and Manny on two cowboy hats. One they they reshaped, cleaned and stretched. One was a special order that had to have a silver hat band attached and reshaped. Before I visited their store I had looked for the kind of services I would need. They are few and far between-none in Southern California. Bottom line is they are the best hat shop within hundreds of miles. FYI there is one in Las Vegas ,NV and Raton, NM. Shinbone Rifleman SASS read more
