There is a lot to talk about when you mention Black Hat Trading. Friendly people, active community…read morepeople, rock hounds, jewelry smiths and repairs, beading and much much more. I have been able to find the famed Mata Ortiz pottery there, jewelry, beading materials that I just haven't been able to find anywhere else. Most of all a knowledgeable staff that cares and you know, just fun to sit and talk to. If you've got an old piece of jewelry that could use a bit of polish, fixing, has been through a fire, then you need to take it to these guys. Looking for that special rock that just says I am a rock hound and I came from Deming NM, they got it. Looking for help on a new project? The people there at Black Hat Trading can help, and help teach you. Did I mention, they even offered me classes to better teach me some of the skills they do? Family owned and run business.

Serena is super knowledgeable about this subject and was super nice and helpful. They also carry a hodgepodge of other things including leather goods and moccasins, etc. Lots to see inside the store. So glad I popped in to mosey around. Ended up picking up a couple pieces of copper jewelry.

We stopped in here during a visit to Hatch this fall. We had a long chat with Letty, the charming…read moreand efficient owner, about green chile sauce and bought a few jars of both their red and green sauces. They're excellent. Not too hot (medium rated) and very flavorful. We also bought a ristra, which traveled well to the West Coast and then back to St Louis, and which is now hanging in our kitchen. Their pottery selection is excellent and well priced. We didn't have room for anything large, so passed on buying any pots this time. We'll come back and try again soon. The only thing that keeps me from offering five stars is the relatively low stock of sauces. That may be just be the result of our timing--we were there in October.

Yes we got suckered into going here by the billboards. We all know the billboards as we are driving…read moredown I-10 and there is about 10 billboards advertising the many different travel plazas in southern New Mexico. I actually never stopped at one of these before because when I was younger my grandparents always flew through New Mexico and never would stop for anything. What made me stop this time around? Because my boyfriend saw that billboard for the desert bot which too him looked too much like a transformer so like a child he begged me to stop so he can see the robot. I'm not gonna lie, the robot was pretty good and he has his own little merch going on there. The billboard mentioned homemade cookies, which I actually did try and while they may not be world famous, they taste really good for gas station cookies. Their snack selection is pretty limited and their drink selection you will miss it if your not actively looking for it. It definitely wasn't crowded and the workers there were friendly. You do have to pay pretty far from the cashier though so don't be shocked if your cashier is at the register and your two counters away checking out. Overall its a nice stop and I recommend if the kiddos are acting up, to stop here and let them see the desert transformer.

The Good: *Lady running the front was friendly enough *Store is very organized and comfortable to walk around in. *Prices seemed about the same as everywhere else The Meh: *A bit of a language barrier The Ugly: *We arrived into town after 9 a.m. (store claims to be open at 8:30), and they were closed. We happened to see them just as they were opening as we were leaving town after 10 a.m. Luckily for them, I was still looking for something, and that's the only reason I stopped.
