I got a few things too like how to pray the rosary, my rosary, a cute pin button that's says "Jesus loves me"attached with a mini virgen Mary figurine, and a la virgen de Guadalupe figurine too! I totally recommend this store to anyone who is Catholic or non-Catholic that is interested in the search of Catholic religion. Thanks guys and God Bless!

This place has never let me down. Rain or shine (seriously, because even during a flash flood…read morewarning and unusual San Diego rain they stay ready), you can stop by this Botánica and find a great selection of materials. The prices are fair, there's an insane variety of items available in their selection, and there are plenty of cultural-specific items for Latinamerican folks in particular. I call ahead to make sure they have what I need, and I have yet to be disappointed. Wonderful service, too. And shoutout to the great music selection. If you're looking for a reliable botánica, try them out.

This was an interesting shop for sure. Stumbled downstairs after entering an indoor bazaar that…read moresold jewelry, clothing, and other goods. Most of the place in the back and downstairs looked to have closed down, but finding this place was like finding some secret doorway into a different world. No one was minding the shop...just music blasting. Walked around and what was first a calming and holistic place, turned a bit more interesting as I walked further in. I'm spiritual as well as religious, and some of the displays and items were very different than what I'd normally see. A lot of the statues, and dolls, etc. gave me a bit of the heebie jeebies. I stopped taking photos after that, but I liked the store. It had so many different elements. Almost bought incense but didn't. Made a quick round to see the rest of the store and left. Quite an experience.

10/13/26 I rarely leave negative reviews, especially regarding something as sacred as spirituality…read more However, respect, transparency, and professionalism should never be optional. I paid $350 for preliminary cleansings, a divination to determine my guardian Orisha, and a consecrated eleke. Despite calling twice to confirm my appointment, I arrived to find the practitioner seemingly unaware of my scheduled visit, my name, or its purpose. He asked why I came on Monday and when I refreshed his memory he stated that wasn't prepared and normally do these on other days. After briefly looking at a photograph, offering vague reassurance, and performing a short prayer, I was told additional cleansings were necessary. Prior to our appointment if I had a question and would call it seemed like he was irritated and rush me off the phone to which I assumed it was because he didn't want to discuss over the phone and rather in person. The lack of patience continued into our in person. I extended grace despite my concerns. However, after reflecting, I respectfully requested a partial refund, acknowledging that time and materials had already been invested. I explicitly stated that I hoped we could resolve the matter privately and fairly. He refused, despite never communicating a nonrefundable policy. He then claimed my eleke was already being consecrated. When I asked how that was possible without having completed the divination, he responded, "Because I know," referencing a quick limpia. Rather than offering clarification, he became defensive, criticized my attitude, dismissed my discomfort as a "me problem," and ultimately told me he would no longer perform cleansings and ordered me to leave. Throughout this interaction, I maintained a calm, respectful tone. Unfortunately, that same respect was not reciprocated. My concerns were never about challenging the religion or his spiritual authority. They were about transparency, communication, and the handling of a paid service. Respect does not mean blind compliance, and asking questions should never be mistaken for disrespect. I'm grateful I trusted my instincts and chose not to continue. What should have been the beginning of a meaningful spiritual journey instead became a disappointing lesson in the importance of discernment. I strongly encourage others to clarify all services, expectations, and refund policies before making any financial or spiritual commitment.

But they also resell old DVDs, VHS, toys, knicknacks- it's a hodge podge of interesting to very odd items. Mostly old and dated items. As for the value, I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. It could be a treasure trove to some, I am certain, but personally- it just wasn't what I was looking for. The service was greatly lacking as well, which definitely took away from the experience.
