Hats by the Madhatter!!'
Dano G.

Hands down the best hat guy The Hatmaster strikes again. Great shop. A ton of selection from clothes to boots to hats!!! I had my 3rd hat reshaped and touched up and one completely washed and re blocked. They know there business. Best shaper in San Diego

Found the perfect pair of COMFORTABLE boots and they will accommodate a wider calf.

Received great personalized service and they had a very nice selection of quality women's boots. The associate was very knowledgeable about features and styles. Would definitely recommend early during the week for less traffic in store and more attention.

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.

Most (not all) of the women's boots and shoes.

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.

This was an adorable shop where I was looking for something for a 60's vibe. Unfortunately, they…read morehad lots of larger sizes and smaller sizes with that 60's feel but not in my size. The staff were really nice and I will definitely come back! The prices weren't the cheapest but the clothes were in great condition!

Unfortunately, the customer service was completely different the second time. The dress I bought was the only one they had left, and it was the display dress. It already had loose threads and showed signs of wear. I politely asked if they could offer a small discount because it wasn't in perfect condition, but they immediately said no. I also asked if they had the same dress in another color or if they could show me similar styles, but they weren't interested in helping. The staff was rude, dismissive, and made me feel like I was bothering them. I ended up buying the dress because I had a deadline and didn't have time to keep shopping elsewhere. However, when you're spending a significant amount of money on a formal dress, you expect good customer service and merchandise in excellent condition. Unfortunately, this store failed on both. I would not recommend shopping here based on my experience. I was very disappointed with my experience at this store.

I came in a pinch, needing a simple black tank top while I was staying at my boyfriends place…read moredowntown and about to meet his parents (I realized I only had a black crop top, which is not parent approved). I went in and was pleasantly surprised. Both of the ladies working in the store were very very nice, not pushy whatsoever, and helped to find exactly what I needed. A bonus is that I also picked up a really cute green Led Zeppelin tank top. The store has really unique items along with basics that you can mix and match in a lot of outfits. A lot of times at a Boutique everything is super expensive and this store definitely has some pricey stuff (pricey, not expensive b/c there's major value) but the basics are reasonable for downtown San Diego prices. I will definitely be back to browse the next time I'm in the area !

Needed a last minute outfit for an unexpected date one day and remembered seeing this place on a…read morewalk in my new neighborhood so I decided to check it out and now I'm hooked. It's relatively similar to what I've been to in other upscale areas, but the quality of the clothing is top notch, which makes it worth the price. They also seem to have some decent sales and a welcome offer online, with an option for shipping or pickup at one of their three locations. I appreciated how patient the associate was with me during my first trip (it was definitely over an hour and I left with four bags haha) but I was able to find the perfect date outfit and restock my closet post move and I have already been back again.

Dont pay attention to bad reviews! GO see the dresses! We…read morewent to several dress shops without appointments for Quinceanera dresses in Chula Vista on a Sat. Saw 3 shops and were disappointed with selections and prices, but we were unable to see Mario's Boutique that day. We ended up going to LA next day to see all the dress shops in the LA downtown area and I was not impressed of how the dresses are sold without price tags upfront, but realized buying a legit quince dress is gonna cost $$$$. We went home frustrated, defeated with the whole dress search and the cost of everything. On Monday, I decided to see just go back to Mario's to view the Quinceanera dress selections just to see if there was anything worthwhile before I took my daughter. When I came in, Mario acknowledged me, but he was on the phone so I perused the dresses on my own, which was fine. I was super impressed with the beautiful selections over any of the other shops I previously saw. I told him my price range and told him which ones I liked and I would bring my daughter back the next eve to try them on. His prices were competitive with others and fair, but I felt he had more quality dresses. So we came back Tues eve, and my daughter tried on 3 dresses and she was in love with them all and Mario was really patient, yet hustle to fit all 3 dresses and did not charge us to try them like some shops do. It is a LOT of work to get these dresses on especially with the lacing on the back and the hoopskirt, but he did it all on his own, and also tried to tend to other customers as best he can. He said he would retrieve the dress we chose in smaller size from storage the next day. He even had the train modified to a big bowtie ready for us to pickup with the dress that same day even tho he originally told us it would take a week. My daughter was super happy, the dress fit perfect and the bowtie, and the tiara to top it off. We felt relieved since our event is less 3 months and can now check this off our list!!! The place is not big, but the selection is REALLY really nice, different colors, styles and sizing. I can see some customers may want the red carpet service, but we found Mario to be more than sufficient and very nice. Come during the weekdays and maybe you will beat the weekend crowds and get more attention, or make an appointment so you can at least have some dedicated time. Just keep in mind, not to be too high maintenance and demanding and realize beautiful Quince dresses will cost you! Give Mario's Boutique a try and you wont be disappointed. THANK YOU MARIO!!!!!!

I am very disappointed with the lack of service I have received from this business. I reached out…read moremonths in advance about two dresses and kept getting the run around and ignored my calls/messages. I even got my husband to call which they answered his call but never followed up with me (see below trail of messages). I do not appreciate this business not taking my request seriously and would've appreciated if they would've told me no or some kind of follow up instead of having me trust them and waste time. I will be reporting to the BBB on this unethical and incompetent business.
