My brother-in-law followed an Instagram account that had Tejana hats that he absolutely adored and…read morefunnily enough, our trip was about 20 minutes from where we were staying. We made our way over to Zapateria La Cabana, and were able to check out the store for his Tejana, and grabbed some souvenirs for the fam! It was a nice surprise when we got to meet the owner's son, Alex. He helped us find a good Tejana for my brother-in-law, told us about his family and their business, and also gave us a shirt and a sticker when we purchased his hat!
We aren't very versed on sizing, styles, etc., and his staff wasn't either. However, she was kind enough to call him and let him know we were interested in a Tejana that he'd recently posted to Instagram. He wasn't in the area, but asked if we'd be able to come back around 3 o'clock. Since we were on explorer mode, we said we'd be back. So, we went to a couple other places and then came back around 4 thinking we lost the chance we were hoping for, but luckily, we were greeted when we walked in by the gentlemen, the hat pro, Alex.
Honestly, the questions that came up about the hat were overwhelming, and I had to facetime my brother-in-law to answer them. However, the service and conversation I was able to strike up with Alex was great! He was so friendly and helpful, and very appreciative that we stopped by. Also, he was impressed that a family from Las Vegas followed his page, and they made the stop from their trip to see his products! He said that his family had a smaller shop, and they just purchased the shop we were visiting because it was a bigger space. He mentioned how it was pretty busy for the area, to us it seemed slow, but we're in Vegas, so we're used to shops that are filled.
They have a great variety of Hispanic items for your view! There are hats, belts, a lot of different shoes, the hats of course, belt buckles, keychains, shirts, pants, just a bodega filled of random items that will allow you to browse and for sure find something you're looking for. There are also different hats that are available for purchase, not just the Tejana we took with us. If you're in the area in Bridgeton, and need something to do, and something to be able to explore, find, or purchase, stop by and visit Zapateria La Cabana. You won't regret it!
