Santa Cruz Chili & Spice

Spice lovers paradise!! Fair prices, knowledgeable staff. We made a trip down for their Open House with free mini tamales and mini margaritas. Our group of 6 had a great time. Met a lot of wonderful people while others in our group finished their shopping. The weather was co-operative so it was a suberb day! Recommend highly.

We've been here several times. Very high quality spices and seasonings. They sell sauces, jellies, dried peppers, and dozens of individual spices and ready to use spice mixes for many Sonoran dishes. Love this place.

Cool ol store that has some great spices. We shop here often when we need to gather supplies for making our own spice mixes and rubs. It’s odd as the staff seems a bit less than excited to be alive, but hey they are in the middle of nowhere. Don’t expect lively conversations just business and the lady isn’t much for knowledge when asked questions. Just one word answers mostly.

This is a hidden gem. It can be tough to find, but well worth the visit. They have huge selection of spices. The smell as you walk in is amazing. In addition to spices, they have local honey, local jams/jellies and well as a great selection of hot sauces. In the adjacent room they have cook books plus locally published books about the region. Lots of antiques hanging on the walls, too.

Located on the west side of the I-19 access road just south of the Tumacacori Mission. There is plenty of parking, too.

This is the cutest store and was the only place we could find the “gallon” jug of Santa Cruz Chili Paste for our tamales. The ladies are so nice and sweet. They have different spices, oils, gifts and is definitely worth the little drive to get there!

Every year we came to Santa Cruz Spice shop and stock up on all our local favorites!

The staff is friendly, the spices are fresh and the strongest peppers you can find! It's worth the trip down there and especially in tandem with a stop at Wisdoms - a great restaurant right down the road!

If you need spices! Then this is the place to go. All different types of spices are available. All at an amazing price. Makes for a nice little road trip. This is my new destination.

Love the Mexican oregano!
Great in scrambled eggs and hashbrowns! It's worth the 70 mile drive from my house .

Always a great place to shop for spices. The lady that checked me out was kind, courteous.

This place holds so many nice memories for me. They have a great selection of not only chili products but also a variety of spices and mixtures. Always a great pleasure to visit!

Great selection of spices and Chile powders. Managed to get the hot Chile powder and blue corn pancake mix. Yeah

Excellent stop. Great selection of spices. Cheap and good Mexican vanilla.

Huge selection of spices, sauces and books. The scent in the store is intensive, you can even smell it in the parking lot. Well worth a visit if you like chili products and spices.

Great place to visit. If you are looking for an out of the ordinary spice, this is the perfect place to go. For example, the staff understands the difference between Spanish and Hungarian paprika. My favorite spice mix is their blackening seasoning, delicious on salmon and chicken or veggies. Oh one more thing, lots of books (both for adult and children) about the local history and wildlife.

There are so many spices soups. Must stop by. Love it

Walk in and the smell is amazing!!
Happened to go on open house day so samples of everything.
They usually have samples of their salsa available
Great books and soup mixes and of course all kinds of spices
Better weekdays and summer...much less crowded

What a fantastic little shop! Spices and seasonings galore, and the staff was incredibly helpful!

I love this store! I buy most of my spices there. Their spices are always fresh and have a robust flavor. Try some of their soup mixes too. They are delicious!

I love the SCCSC! Walking up to the door provides an immediate smell of warm peppers and spices. Almost any spice or herb can be found here. The museum is very is interesting. An array of cookbooks is available. Not buying here is impossible. The owner and staff are welcoming and helpful.

This is a MUST STOP for locals and visitors. Always a great selection of spices, jams, jellies, and salsas.
