But, I'm only a little biased. :) I was so very genuinely excited for such a lovely lady to open such a lovely shop, and it fits perfectly into the new El Vado complex. A MUST DO for tourists, but locals should not shy away from the El Vado either. Grab a bite to eat at one of their great food venues, have a staycation in one of the rooms, and pick up your souvenirs at Southwest Cactus! There is a gift here for everyone on your list - cactus (of course!), air plants, succulents; homemade cards, earrings, and other décor; and yummy local honey and beeswax! Chill vibe, cool products, and local family-owned.

I appreciated having someone talk to me who could show me the plants that met my criteria, not just in pots, but in the various planted areas of the yard.

Great staff, great knowledge. I would recommend them even over Plants of Southwest in ABQ. Worth the drive. The yelp listings here are confusing.

I gave them the same order and they gave me a delivery date. I was skeptical after my last experiences. I got a call from Pat's when the doors arrived on time.

The best part of this is that the doors were actually less expensive coming from Pat's than HD, Lowe's and everyone else. Great service, pricing and quality! Thanks again to everyone at Pat's Doors!

When a transaction issue arose for me, she flatly refused my request to call a manager, an action witnessed by another employee named Brian. To avoid helping me, Juliana claimed her computer shut down and abandoned the transaction, forcing me to find another lane. Minutes later, as lines grew, her register magically worked again. This is deceptive and lazy misconduct.While the second cashier, Jared, was helpful and alerted the store manager, the manager took zero action and walked away under the pretext of being busy. I demand upper management pull the security tapes for Register 1 at this exact time (On 8/07/2026 at roughly 7:45 PM) audit the logs, and take immediate disciplinary action against both Juliana for gross misconduct and the manager for failed leadership.
