This super cute El Paso snack and souvenir gift shop was one of my last stops in Texas before heading home to CA :) ! It really is such a gem tucked away in the city in a very humble and simple outdoor shopping center, but certainly worth stopping by :) ! I had Googled the best souvenir shops close to my hotel and "So El Paso" popped up on my search ! I am so glad I stopped by here because they truly have some of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts you can give anyone, whether you are a local to the area :) ! Or whether you're like me - a tourist who wants to bring back something thoughtful and meaningful to family and friends back home in CA :) ! I specifically wanted quality souvenirs that are really unique to the area or region :D ! I met the owner and also one of her employees :) ! Both of them were really friendly and warm ! The owner told me that she is originally from El Paso, but had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years before coming back to El Paso :) ! If I had heard correctly, I believe her employee told me that this store has been open since 2020. I purchased some Mexican candied cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! I purchased some Mexican spice cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! So far, I have only tasted the Mexican spice cocoa pecans, which are delicious :) ! I haven't tried the churro cookies and the margarita mixes yet :) ! But I plan to gift some of these to family and friends :) ! They also have nice holiday gift sets that are beautifully wrapped and ready to gift :D ! When I was shopping there yesterday, there was a customer there who seemed to be ordering in bulk for a group of people :) ! She was carefully choosing items to purchase as she was conversing with the owner :) ! So for sure, these are wonderful items you can gift to individuals or huge groups :D ! I wll definitely be back the next time I visit the west side in El Paso :) ! The owner and her employee really go the extra mile to take care of you and your needs :D ! read more

I attended a One Million Cups event and I won a bag of chips and salsa from So El Paso. I thought they would taste similar to the salsa I've had here locally but I was dead wrong. The salsa and chips were much better. They were s ok good that my family finished the bag in a few days. Now I need to go and buy some more. After I found out that the chips, salsa and other items are found at this location as well as Whole Foods on Mesa and other locations, you have several options to try this out. I highly recommend trying this out and make it part of your meals at home. read more

So El Paso - Gift Shops Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I was on a quest to find a handful of the most El Paso things I could possibly find and surprisingly that is actually a pretty daunting task. It wasn't enough that it had to be made locally, but I also wanted it to represent El Paso in a way that was more than a t-shirt or religious crucifix. And So El Paso definitely has locally made El Paso t-shirts and crucifixes, but they also have so much more. Like so much more. I gave the room the twice over because I didn't want to miss anything, but somehow the woman working was able to point out something new to me every minute or so. The big appeal for me was the Jalapeno Pecan brittle which is locally made, but come on... Jalapeno. Pecan. Brittle. Sounds crazy, tastes delicious, and is the epitome of El Paso flavor favorites. And yes, I tasted it in the store because they also offer samples. I also picked up some bags of their Picks Up Popcorn (orange and blue kettle corn), El Paso wine stoppers, fancy boot key chains, and tequila lollipops. The tequila lollipops are a game changer. Not only are they tequila lollipops, but they also have a real worm inside... say what?! Too cool. I love that they have a variety of items and every time you look at one you can't help but think "That's so El Paso". There's a lot in there that can be appealing for the day to day shopper (like their salsas and the popcorn) and it's a perfect stop for anyone looking to get someone a gift. The pricing was great and it's all locally made in the area. Also they gift wrap! read more

Lady at the counter was hella nice and welcoming. They also have a few items for you to sample such as salsa, nuts and candy. My friend and I were able to scoop up a few items before heading to the airport. My favorite was the Jalapeño pecan brittle. Sweet with a punch you will feel immediately but it's not overbearing. If you're into sweet and spicy you will love it! The place is reasonably priced and is also following CDC guidelines. read more

So El Paso is a great spot to find gifts or rack up souvenirs! After just moving here, I spent weeks looking for the El Paso Strong t-shirt and here I finally found it! The sweet lady behind the counter, Kelly, was so friendly to us and welcomed us to the area. She also told us the history behind El Paso Strong. I love to see the pride the locals have in this city. This store also has a wide selection of fun items from magnets to Mexican skulls, as well as great salsa and sweets. We will definitely take family here when they visit! read more

What a super cute shop! They had a lot of snacks available which is fun. I bought coffee and loved it. The souvenir type items weren't my style but they were still nice to browse. It's very colorful in here which has a rich El Paso charm. The owner was an absolute doll and gave us lots of local recommendations for things to and places to go! If you see the brittle, buy the brittle. read more

This El Paso souvenir shop is awesome! Yes, it's small, but it has all kinds of items for El Pasoans like myself who have moved away or for friends and family of those just visiting! They have a decent selection of t-shirts including the El Paso Chihuahuas (minor league baseball team), magnets, mugs, local art, So El Paso branded snacks, candy, shot glasses, and more. Staff was friendly and helped us look for items. Come here, support this local business, and don't bother with the cheesy souvenir stores at the airport. read more

Tiny, drove half an hour to see "a wide selection " souvineer shop.. mm no.. it is very small and the selection of items for sale is very limited. Though it is a small bussiness, I did not purchase an item as there was nothing I was interested in. I had been lookong for a carry on type, shoulder bag, that felt authentic from Texas. No such luck. If you are looking for chocolate covered foods, trail mix of sorts, painted skulls, magnets or tshirts this may be your place. read more

So El Paso - A very limited, small collection of items. It is as small as the brochure shows - Gift Shops Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I was walking around after lunch and happened upon this place. Being a visitor to El Paso I stopped in to check out the post cards and souvenirs. The owner was so nice and helpful. She told me about all of the happenings around El Paso and some things not to miss, many of which I had missed. Probably the most helpful person I've met in El Paso. As for the store, they have all kinds of souvenirs regardless of what you collect. For me it's postcards and shot glasses, but hey have it all. Additionally, they have various local foods and salsas for tasting and purchase. I really nice added touch. I highly recommend this place when you visit El Paso! It is the only place for local gifts and souvenirs. read more

Loved this shop. She was super nice, explaining all the foods they had and offering lots of samples. It was definitely worth the detour and it was a nice break to our driving. read more

My family loves this place! We visit it often, suggest it to everyone, and always take our out of town guests here! My mother in law loved it so much, she was constantly ordering off of their website to be shipped to her, 20 hours away! Everyone is always so friendly when we go in also! read more

Love this shop! Great variety of gifts and souvenirs. Not to mention the warm welcome and friendly people who work here. Kelly is very helpful, we enjoyed chatting with her about EL Paso and New Mexico. This shop is truly a gem of El Paso! read more

I was very disappointed in my experience with the store. When I neared the checkout counter, I noticed that they had some Beto for President stickers next to some Trump for President stickers. As an El Pasoan, I cannot support Trump and his policies (not to mention that he owes us half a million dollars) so I made a joke about, "Ugh, why do you even have those stickers here?!?!" referring to the Trump stickers. The employee told me, "Oh, it's because people come from out of town and that's what they're really asking for is Trump stickers, so we have them here just to make money." I looked around a little more and then I thought more about it and I went back and asked her, "Do the owners of this store support Trump? Because if so I don't want to spend my money here." She told me, "oh no, we just carry his merchandise to earn more money." Then as I continue to look around, I saw more Trump merchandise in the form of beer Koozies and at that point I thought this is not OK and so I let her know that I was taking my business elsewhere to a place that didn't support someone who is so hateful to our culture. Bottom line: if they're going to support him, they should at least be honest about it. Otherwise, don't disrespect our city by giving him a presence. read more

This young company deserves all 5 stars for offering a growing variety of products that look, smell and taste like the El Paso culture. My go-to is the Salsa de Mesa. Try it for yourself, or take advantage of their assorted gift-baskets, which are designed to please all the locals. read more

I first tried the salsas from So El Paso a few years ago and I have been hooked ever since. The Alameda and Mesa are great. Amazing flavor for a salsa from a jar. Much better than what I can get in the stores in California. Since trying those, I've branched out and tried the brittle, the bacon jam and the hot sauces. I get all of them shipped to my home. If you like salsas and hot sauces, this is a great place to get them. Beware the "Carolina Reaper" though. It's the hottest $%&@ thing I've ever tasted in my life! read more

So El Paso is a great store for gifts and local goodies. They have nice T-shirts. I bought the Salsa De Alameda and brought it back home. Its excellent, I'm going to order more online and try the Salsa de Mesa too. read more

Got to taste the salsa at a Million Cups event last week. They are the real deal! Lot of fakes in the grocery aisles these day!
