This place meets all you souvenir needs! I wanted to purchase something small for my Grandson and indeed I found a few things. I was disappointed that I could not find a Tee shirt in his size. But that was okay I found other things.

In an effort to support local small business, we purchased some frozen green chile to be shipped to our son in PA. We went to Chile Traditions at 8204 Montgomery and received outstanding service. We also purchased a red chile ristra and a ristra wreath as well as a few extra items to send to our son for his Christmas gift. They knew when to ship it to arrive in plenty of time and said it was guaranteed to arrive in top quality. Through no fault of their own, it was delayed several days in travel and ended up thawed and messy. We contacted them and, without question, they shipped a replacement package which is scheduled to arrive today. This type of customer service should be rewarded and they have our business for life! We already get our annual sack of roasted green chile from them and highly recommend that as well. In a time when our small businesses are suffering, I’m pleased to send this stellar review.

I went to this store and bought a few items. Later at dinner I looked at my receipt and notice they overcharge me for a shot glass that had a sticker listing the price as $3.95. They charge me $5.95! Also, saw I was charged $1.00 for using a debit card. No sign saying this would be the charge. I called the store and told them of the overcharge An hour later I went back to the store and the employee actually accused me of altering the sticker! Saying, we don' sell $3.95 shot glasses. I showed her the shot glass that had the store sticker listing the price as $3.95. She was very rude when she handed the $2 difference. FYI, this was not the only item i purchased. My total bill was $38.55 so it was like i was trying to cheat them over $2!

We saw the recommendation for this shop on Trip Advisor and we are so glad we came. They have a huge variety of fresh and dried chile products, southwestern souvenirs and much more. The clerk was extremely friendly and helpful. Don't miss coming to this store!

I used to drive by this shop all the time. I knew it was turning fall when we could smell roasted chiles in the lot across the street. SAME GUY! The owners has been selling and roasting chiles for decades, had his shop for 14 years, and frankly, knows his local stuff. If you want souvenirs or locally made pistachios, biscochito, roasted chiles (when in season), or just need some ideas for local stuff, he's your guy. Sure it's a souvenir shop. But it's outside of Old Towne which is hard to find. It's local. He's local. His selection is mind blowing. And he prides himself on most everything edible being made in NM, with exception to one thing which he TOLD me wasn't NM before I even saw it. He's the real NM deal. Super friendly to boot.
