Located on historic Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano, Las Catrinas is a unique gift shop carrying items from Mexico and around the world. You can also find traditional clothing from Oaxaca Mexico, there is definitely something for everyone at this boutique! I fell in love with all of the garden pottery and plants! The selection of Dia de Los Muertos items gave you a lot to choose from. Unique jewelry and more! The service was great, the prices very reasonable. Las Catrinas is a must visit!
Here is the cover I bought at Las Catrinas. I love it and get so many compliments. I recently dressed in vintage style for a Halloween get-together at my niece's home in Old Towne Orange. The cover went perfectly with her 100-year-old home.
Wow, I had the most unwelcoming experience. I would like to start by saying we were the only latinos in the store. It's pretty ironic because they sell a lot of latino and mexican house decor. Anyways we were followed from the outside patio indoors. My sisters were interested in purchasing a ring but we were elbow to elbow with the store owners, they watched every thing we did. My sisters are younger and even they walked away and felt uncomfortable. They even greeted other customers as they walked in but not us. We ended up not getting anything because i didn't want to support a business who makes their customers feel this way. At the end of the day, we were racially profiled and I'm surprised this is still happening here at this day and age.
San Juan Capistrano has always been one of my favorite places in Orange County. It's a great stop by train from points north or south. The Los Rios Historic District offers a range of businesses to stroll... Coffee, tea, a boutique, a gift shop and excellent food and wine awaits. We will drive here just to eat at Ramo's House, we still consider it the best brunch in the entire OC. One may sit outside (blankets provided when it's chilly) and enjoy a three course meal. We also appreciate it is pet friendly. You might have a small wait as things get busy. On our most recent visit, we took a stroll and came upon Las Catrinas, a shop selling Spanish influenced decor. I had been looking for yoga blankets in neutral tones (and they are more difficult to find) and the staff and owner went out of their way to search the back room for two! Since we had just completed our first tour of the Southern California Missions, we purchases a friar robe wine bottle cover. We plan to cover the wine we purchased at Rancho Capistrano Winery, also located nearby. Add a little local history and color to your life or go neutral like we did, while you wait for your name to be called for brunch at the Ramo's House. SJC is an adventure all itself and it's a place I take family and friends to take them out of the tourist areas of SoCal. #SanJuanCapistrano #LosRiosHistoricDistrict #LasCatrinas
My husband and I stumbled upon this literal GEM of a gift shop is San Juan Capistrano by the train tracks. The owner Luis is wonderful and told us about the history of the home turned into a gift shop. We left with several items and will be back to pick up more. They have everything you could possibly think of and the clothing and jewelry is icing on the cake. A very enchanting place to find some equally enchanting gifts. You must stop by and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. I absolutely love this little GEM!
Funky little store in Los Rios District, very colorful, with fun, cute merchandise. Home decor imported from Mexico, cheap yoga blankets, garden decor, a bit of everything. They have a cool backyard fool of merchandise as well, so check it out! Too bad this place is closed on Sundays! Prices are reasonable here, so you can get a souvenir from San Juan Capistrano in here, find a cute gift or something for the house. Not something that you need, but something fun, a cool item that'll bring color in your house. Cool boutique, original, fits the funky area of Los Rios.
South of the border style with a side of California chic- that's how I'd describe the clothing and decor at Las Catrinas! Two buildings separate housewares from clothes so you can browse in some semblance of organization. The mish-mash of traditional prints and modern colors somehow works well together and I found it hard not to scoop up so many different little trinkets to take home with me: a colorful kitchen spoon rest, a woven yoga blanket, ceramic stepping stones for my non-existent garden, you know how it goes. I managed to get away with some accessories and a few gifts for others instead. Staff are friendly but unobtrusive while you browse their maze of rooms.
In this day and age? Really? Would you ever see this outside a men's clothing store, saying "Your wife called...?" A sign to put off any single and/or gay women, as well as all the women earning their own money, oftentimes supporting their entire family. I love jokes and a good laugh but this one seems pathetic and outdated to say the least. I did return after having read the raving reviews, to see some lovely pieces of clothing, with the price tag to be expected in the area.
Perfect Christmas gift and gifts for myself as well... beautiful catrinas from the Latins of the Americas. Luis, the owner is well-informed and personally chooses each item in his store. Too, he is extremely helpful and friendly. This place ROCKS!!!c
I really love the Mexican, Central American, and South American items sold here! His prices are cheaper than online or a specialty store. I looked everywhere for authentic serapes and found them for $19 here! Also purchased some kitchen items, jewelry, and a mexican toy for my son. Love Spanish style items!!! Super nice owner and the lady that works durning the week is so sweet and helpful!
No need to drive to Mexico for those treasures. Such a vast selection of everything you really want, need, or desire right here in San Juan Capistrano. Going today to pick up another great piece for our house.

I decided to walk the area that was lined with cute shops. This place caught my eye with the colorful, and twirly merchandise outside the shop. I took a look around outside first which had merchandise that you would find mostly outdoors, such as pots, chimes, wall decor etc.... I took the few steps that led you to the front porch. This area could fit one person, maybe two people if you knew that person. It's a tight fit since it holds a couple of display tables to hold merchandise. Indoors is also a very tight fit. If you have a backpack or large bag you must carry it strategically so that you don't knock anything. There are fragile items in the store. Other than the tight quarters I enjoyed looking at the merchandise they offered. They had a little bit of everything! They carried cute journals in different sizes, fun pens, jewelry, ornaments, clothing, a lot of fun things! I bought these cute gloves for myself and I found them to be a decent price. My purchases were for Christmas gifts. The service was friendly, a little on the quiet side but friendly. I would like to return to this shop and see if they will change out some merchandise as the season changes. Do check them out! read more

A gem of a find in San Juan Capistrano. Next to a amtrak train station this spot had wonderful gift giving items. Ideal for that person that can be hard to shop for. The owners were lovely. read more
