I must have visited on an off day. 09/03/25 When I walked in, there was no acknowledgment at all. An older man was on the phone at his desk, having a loud conversation that included some pretty vulgar language. There was also a woman who seemed visibly annoyed and unapproachable. I had gone in specifically to look at Catrina dolls, but in the end, I'm actually glad we weren't approached -- I found a better selection at Mexican Imports in Scottsdale, where the dolls were cheaper and the staff were much more welcoming and friendly.

Cobalt Jesus!

Stillllll love this place SO much! I came here to buy some decorations for a friend's birthday party. SO many other beautiful pieces caught my eye & got me thinking about Christmas gifts in May! & started my mental list of what I'd like to buy to decorate my home! I dare you to walk out of here empty handed!

If you're a fav of yard art and decorative pottery, I'd add this to you list of stops next time you're in Phoenix. The array of wire, steel, and clay art to adore anyone's grass/desert lawn motifs was great. Not to mention, if you need a planting pot, there's everything here from the regular red-orange stuff to all kinda of shapes, sizes, and design representations. You want a Buddha pot, check. Frog pot, check. Just a nice colorful Moroccan inspired pattern, no worries. And, there's room, literally rooms, books, spaces, this is a large indoor/outdoor garden art store, so try and see everything if you're just looking in general. Otherwise, the few workers I did cross were very nice and tried to help as best they could. Heads up: Chatting with the manager, lots of things don't have a price tag on them. If they do, that price is set. However, "...you're encourage to make a deal" - aka haggle, and I specifically used "haggle" when I asked for confirmed of what he was saying. WELCOME TO MY WORLD! My 2.5 weeks spent in Morocco last year, I didn't spend a penny over 50% of the asking price; a natural talent, baby! I didn't end up getting anything - we still had two weeks left of our road trip and didn't have room in the car to trek anything back, so you betcha bottom dollar I'll eventually make it back here to load up on decorative pieces, maybe a metal cactus of some kinda. Or two.....

This is the main place I buy my Mexican Yard Art. Everyone is very pleasant & their prices are cheaper that everywhere I've checked out. Wellllllll, they used to be. The last time I was there (3 mths ago) their prices had increased a lot (but what hasn't since COVID?!?) But, they are always willing to give you a discount (they have with me). The last Talavera pot I bought had a $30.00 discount.

Honestly cannot believe we have never written a review for one of our absolute favorite places ever!!! We stopped by there today with the boys to try to find some farm animals for our manger outside. We found the perfect ones... a donkey and a horse, both authentic Talavera style. Hermosa!! Rudy and everyone at Mexican Arts Imports are always Amazing and so truly helpful!!! Thank you Mexican Arts Imports!!!

I love this store! I've been coming here for over a decade. Their selection is amazing and their prices are great too. I highly recommend if you are looking for metalwork art, talavera, serveware or trinkets! They also have a nice selection of clothing.

I needed some items for decoration in our house. Wanting to stay with a desert southwest theme, we quickly learned that Native American pottery can be EXPENSIVE! Mexican Arts Imports to the rescue!! I found them while attending a home show and saw a few things that were interesting. Unable to carry the items for the rest of the day, I grabbed a card and was told to drop by anytime. My wife and I arrived at their store not sure what we wanted, or even if we could afford it. WOW!! This place is huge...there are rooms within rooms within rooms - all crammed to the ceiling with everything you can imagine. As it's name implies, this place caters to Mexican Art, but it also has a large southwestern component. As you can see from the pictures, we found what we wanted and the prices are more than reasonable. These are decorative items - well made, but not "authentic" handmade pottery. Who cares? they look great!! The staff are extremely helpful in finding the pieces you are looking for - even if you aren't sure what you are looking for to start with. Give this place a try - It is truly a hidden gem!!

We stopped into Modern Manor after having an awesome brunch at Valentine. This was a nice way to…read moreget a post meal walk around the shop after all the food we had. In general I enjoy looking at vintage shops, and there are many interesting, unique items here. I noticed there are some really cool, great mid-century modern furniture pieces here, which I love, but not at my price point. Great to admire though. There were also other vintage items such as art pieces, clothing, shoes, jewelry, and some random things. I didn't think I would buy anything, but I found a cute southwest metal wind chime that had a nice patina after years of exposure. It is embossed with "1989, The Metal Man". I hung it out last night and it looked great against a beautiful sunset. It has a gentle chime sound, compared to come other chimes I have it. I love it. Definitely worth taking a stroll into the shop before or after a meal at Valentine. Never know what you'll find.

We had such a fun time trying out the restaurant and then going directly into the shop to do some window shopping before heading home. They have everything from jewelry and clothing to records and cassettes, dishware, furniture, decor, and so much more. Items are cleaned up, and the shop is nicely organized. My daughter purchased something and the owner was very pleasant and friendly to deal with. Check out is located at the desk in the center of the store. Prices seemed fairly reasonable. Some items were a little less and some more than a normal vintage or thrift shop.

Anyways, super cute place with a lot of plant themed gifts and items, and of course, a lot of plants! While I'm not looking for more indoor plants I could not resist getting a healthy prayer plant. Small but I thought a good deal at $12. They also had some really tempting haworthia but I had to say no as I do not have my current indoor plant menagerie under control. Excuse to go back in the future! I went mid-day on a weekday and was able to get street parking easily. It might be harder during certain hours. This spot on Grand has really gorgeous planters - and the shop is across from Novel ice cream and like a 2 min walk from Grand Ave Brewing, so if you time it right you could support multiple local businesses!

I was warmly welcomed and quickly invited to request to see any case items. The outdoor patio is one of my favorite spots here, with vintage tin signs, pottery, and other "rad" finds. I found this store to be quite reasonably priced- I picked up several items which were nicely held at the front while I shopped. The gal who cashiered wasn't very quick at inputting the items into the computer but she was very friendly which made up for the delay. Since I was so overjoyed with my finds, Janice and her coworker invited me to return with photos of how I was able to decorate around my new items.

I didn't find quite what I was looking for, but did find a number of other things I loved, including one in my budget. I think overall the pricing seemed fair, even if I only bought one (or one pair) item. The staff was very friendly and polite, and we chatted a little about what I was looking for, and just day to day stuff. All the items in the store looked in good shape (for their age) and the store is pretty sizeable and well-stocked. It was very fun to browse around through everything, and easy to get staff help when I wanted to see something in a cabinet. I'll definitely stop in here again!

I have never gotten such predatory, other worldly vibes from a human. He followed my fiancé out to the car, did not help load our items, and badgered him about me the whole time. It was weird and gross and thank god I was packing crystals and sage because we couldn't even wait the 15 min to get home to start cleaning ourselves of that putrid energy. Gorgeous pieces that you could easily find of Facebook marketplace as well. I'd skip this one. Especially if you're a woman.
