A bright explosion of color and whimsy, Artlexia is a delightful gem nestled in the heart of North Park. Stepping inside instantly lifts your mood with its bursts of vivid hues and festive decor. The shop is a love letter to iconic artist Frida Kahlo, with a fantastic selection of memorabilia, prints, jewelry and more featuring her beautiful work. As a huge Frida fan, I was over the moon to find an entire section dedicated to the Mexican icon. From sticker packs and notebooks to coffee mugs and tote bags, they have an impressive array of Frida merchandise. The Frida shirts are especially cool - I'll be rocking my new one at the next Día de los Muertos festival! Beyond the excellent Frida selections, Artlexia has a wonderfully curated collection of Mexican folk art, pottery, textiles and crafts. The geometric patterns and bold colors of the Oaxacan animal carvings are stunning. You'll also find Day of the Dead and sugar skull themed items, as well as festive Lotera game boards and sets. The shop is such a bright, cheerful space to explore. Walking in truly feels like a mini vacation to Mexico with all the vivid colors and artistry. The warm hospitality and friendliness of the staff makes browsing even more enjoyable. Artlexia is a true North Park gem - I'll be back again and again!

Came for some thank you cards, found a great cookbook section and got some craft supplies for the little one. Lots of interesting gifts and knick knacks here! Worth perusing.

Great shop to find crafty gifts and Chicano /Mexican cultural items for the kitchen and daily use. The shop has very friendly staff and the sister shop next door Casa y Cocina has even more goods for the kitchen

Visited this shop a hand full of times and the vibe is always right. The staff is always nice. This last time I went I could not keep my eyes off everything because it's so full of tons of nik naks. I'm sad I didn't get one of their candles but I will be back! I got my sister the Zote and mom the avocado little coin bags which are the most adorable gifts.

I loved all the things this store had but most of the prices are hefty. I bought some candy, cookies, marmalade, and a cute little dish that was on clearance.

A vibrant and beautiful boutique featuring a curated selection of gifts sourced from Mexico. From house decor, stationary, jewelry, and clothing, to an assortment of trinkets, it's a one stop shop for gifts for friends/family, or yourself! I appreciate Artelexia because they source their items from Latinx-owned businesses, artisans, and entrepreneurs, specifically supporting women and small businesses. The staff is kind and warm here, and I always enjoy buying more Selena air fresheners and stickers! Don't forget to try a Popsicle on your way out, they are refreshing, flavorful, and have a section of flavors such as Mango Chamoy and horchata!

What a gem! I could have spent hours here. Such cute and unique items. I have no doubt that I could have found a gift for everyone that I know. They have cooking books, books for children( some in English and Spanish), onesies, some clothing for children, shirts for adults, socks, pencils, stickers, floor mats, bags and much much more. The one thing I do wish is that they had more Mexican style clothing in larger sizes for kids. Aside from that, great customer services. The two young women that were working at the time of my visit allowed me to walk around without feeling as if they were breathing down my neck. Some items are pricey but there is still plenty of items you can find that are reasonably priced. The store is worth checking out. The pictures do not do it justice. Thank you!

Nice little shop to check out Hispanic inspired knick knacks. There are a lot of cool things to check out from books and toys to art and bottle openers. The employees there were all nice and friendly.

Love this store. Made a special trip to it when I was in San Diego. I loved all the mexican themed items and all the Frida stuff as well. You also have to take a selfie with the pedro pascal cut out!

Good customer service and I'm so glad is latino owned. The only reason why I'm giving this place a 2 starts is because I would like to see more authentic stuff. This place has a very stereotypical selection of items.
