Mercadito Monarca

The store is astonishing, with something new to discover around each corner. The art and crafting are exquisite (and surprisingly affordable), and Erica impressed me with her knowledge, generosity and deep understanding (and explanation) of the spiritual roots of the pieces on display. Thank you so much for giving your time and patience to a poor, adrift Kiwi, and for sharing the treasures of your home with me. No puedo esperar para visitar la ciudad de mexico ahora. Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa, e hoa.

Purchased beautiful authentic items from this shop. The workers really know a lot about each item. This is a hidden gem. Had no idea about it until one day I decided to eat at El Portal and saw it. This is a must visit shop in Pasadena.

This shop is such a little gem! Had to force myself to leave because I wanted to buy everything! I needed a last minute dress for an event for my daughter. I called describing what I was hoping for and the owner had set it aside for me! The shop is full of affordable, quality, hand made items, even rosaries! Erica was super sweet and helpful. Will be back for sure! <3

We LOVE this little store that is already having such a big impact in our Pasadena neighborhood. It’s rooted in our culturas and operated with highest integrity. This is the newest cultural gem and we’re glad we found it sooner than later! Support!!

This was such a wonderful find that I stumbled upon while walking around the area. They have really cool, unique craft/gift items, and it's run by an incredibly nice and welcoming family. I'll be going back to find more items for the holiday gifts.

Cutest place! Took me back to visiting Mexico. They have a nice variety of vendors. Loved their stickers and posters. If you're looking for Dia de Los Muertos decor they have unique well priced items.

THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE MEXICAN HERITAGE PLACE WITH GREAT QUALITY ITEMS. VERY FRIENDLY STAFF AND HELFUL. MY FAMILY AND I PURCHASED SEVERAL ITEMS AND WILL COME BACK TO PURCHASE MORE AND IF WE CANT MAKE THE DRIVE FROM FRESNO TO PASADENA WE WILL ORDER ONLINE.

Adorable shop with some very interesting artwork and original gifts. This is a gem of a place.

So happy to see this shop opened in the community!! They have amazing events! 💗

Love this place... found great stuff for my house decor.
