I was going to a 60th Birthday Party and the theme was cowboy/ cowgirl. My bf wanted to buy me a good pair of cowboy boots. We decided to stop in and try El Porto Norteno. I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find many cool things packed into this small store. When
I entered the store, a friendly woman named Alma helped us. I tried on several pairs of cowboy boots and found a pair I really liked. Alma knew exactly which boots would be good for me, and the boots I chose were beautifully made and all hand stitched. The prices weren't bad considering the boots were all hand made and 100% leather inside and out with beautiful stitching.
I like a square toed boot and these were perfect. I wore them for hours and they were so very comfortable.
My boyfriend bought a black Stetson Cowboy Hat, and he found a really cool long sleeve western style shirt and a Bolo to go with it.
We were going right to the party from there. Alma noticed that my brand new skirt was ripped across the middle bottom. She told me not to worry,she just so happened to have a needle and thread and sewed the rip in my skirt in 30 seconds. I've never seen someone sew a rip the way she did in one complete stitch. It was amazing, you couldn't even tell where the rip was. I was so grateful for her kindness and help.
This isn't a very big place, it's more Mom and Pop,but they sell all kinds of leather and western wear. There is something for everyone including kids. I would definitely come back and buy another pair of boots, hat or belt. This store is in a strip mall located at the very end. There is free parking in the lot. read more
