Just annoying when we’ve been here before and spent $100+ The second time we come to buy earrings for a present. Waiting at door until two blonde ladies cut us and stand right in front of door and employee almost immediately opens door….look around store and old lady with dark hair follows us around acting like she’s fixing stuff or organizing things everywhere we go…It was almost comedic. Would literally walk around to just to see her follow us. Seemed like she be great to work for…Once again spent $50 and never again. Congrats on this business practice.

One of the many hip shops in Austin’s SOCO

This was definitely the most interesting little shop on the strip.Tesoros was filled with clothes, jewelry, household items, postvards, etc all from or inspired by various cultures. Just to name a few, I saw Japanese kimonos, Mexican woven hats, Indian jewelry containers, and African rugs.Some of the items were rather expensive, but do keep in mind that some of these items are (allegedly) sourced directly from their native countries.I definitely recommend checking this place out if youre looking for something a little different.

Fun place with unique gifts! Ducked in just to cool off from the heat, but ended up staying longer to check out the cool stuff.

A interesting novelty shop on congress Street. Lots of Hispanic themed artwork, decor, and home goods.Store is pretty big and has a wide variety of items. We ourselves did not have problems with the staff, and was actually impressed with the helpfulness of several.I would say some things after some research are overpriced a bit too much. Not everything, but some.This does not take away though the fact that this store has some great unique items.

It takes a lot for me to write a bad review, but I had an awful experience here. It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon and the door was locked. You had to wait for an employee to open the door, and when a lady came over, instead of a friendly and welcoming greeting, she immediate said I needed to either put on gloves or sanitize my hands right away, then proceeded to tell me my mask wasn’t up high enough, then when I tried to explain it was a medical issue and I had a very painful nasal/sinus surgery and could not pull it up to that part of my nose, she said “you have to get out!” What?!? If you are that paranoid, I highly recommend staying home. I happily took my business elsewhere! There are plenty of other great shops within walking distance with excellent customer service.

I love going to Tesoros Trading Company. I am a native Austinite and recommend to all of our visitors to check out Tesoros. They are located on South Congress which gives you the opportunity to walk, shop and find a great place to eat.

Definitely on the tourist route- as good a place as any on Congress Ave to pay lots of money for souvenirs. The store is similar to others selling nick nacks in the area (I guess they have to charge their prices due to overheads and expensive rent in the area).If its a choice to sit down and listen to some of the live music in the area or go nick nack shopping I know where I want to be.Parking can be a little fun when busy over the weekend, definitely a very upmarket store.

Fantastic store, you can find affordable items from all around the world

This is a large tourist store with products from around the world. They sell mostly items related to Mexico but also India and Peru. As this is tourist based, they prices reflect this. There’s a variety of products from figurines, scarves, costume jewellery, knickknacks, art, and more.

Lovely shop with great prices.

Great stuff. Mexico, Latin America, some India and Southeast Asia. Decorative, amusing, accessories, some clothing.

Great multi culture souvenirs from across the world everything was reasonably priced.

Very cool little shop with a wide variety of merchandise for any taste!

Great place to find an artsy gift. Some local artists, some international (maybe exploited?) sources.Prices are reasonable (see alleged exploitation).

Lots of interesting trinkets. A little pricey and if the weather is bad, not worth the wait. If you can get right in, its ok. They are being very good about Covid restrictions and I applaud that!

Loved this store!!! Such an authentic original store. Everything is basically handmade. The prices are low for the quality of items you can get. Customer service is outstanding! I wish I could give them 6 stars.

Door is locked as they have limited capacity. Only had to wait outside for a little bit. As soon as you go in, you either grab hand sanitizer or gloves. Fase mask must stay on while in the store. Got great items for my Day of the Dead alter. Staff was friendly and great, and I appreciate how safe and clean the store is.

Got singled out to show my ID whIle using my debit card. Nobody before me or after got asked to show ID.

Excellent COVID precautions! As a nurse, love how conscientious they are!

The most beautiful store with so much color, its too much to take in!Nice retail folks too!💀😍

Covid Era: Most safety aware business I have been to since the start of the pandemic. Limited store capacity, hand sanitizer and gloves at entry, and everyone wearing masks. Most importantly all three rules were actually respected and enforced. It was so comfortable that I definitely spent more money (as a way to vote with my dollars) but who doesnt love some of the stuff at Tesoros.

Cool souvenir shop with unique items from all over the world. I was able to find a few special gifts to purchase. Plan to spend some time. It can get busy.

Wonder Land.

Fun eclectic curio shop

I absolutely LOVE this store! I live in suburban Austin and rarely make it to town unless I have to, but whenever we have out-of-town guests whove never been to Austin before, this place is right there at the top of the list of places to take them. You could spend an hour here and not see everything. LOADS of arts and crafts from around the world at very reasonable prices.

Always enjoy browsing here. I found 3 different perfect gifts this time. The prices are reasonable for the craftsmanship, and better than some of the other south congress shops. Staff were very helpful and friendly, even when the cashier was confronted by a kinda rude and impatient person. Glad youve been there so long - thank you for being awesome!

Very nice store with so much beautiful art

A mix of Asian and Mexican retail items ranging from beads, jewelry, wall hangings, statues and all items you could decorate your home apartment with. Colors here are very eye popping. Quality appears to be well made. Prices are average and you can find something in almost all prices ranges. Not really Texas motiff but a very cool place to find some great items to decorate .

Funky is a great way to describe this store. It has global items were percentages of all areas of the world. Handicrafts made by local artisans. Much of the local Mexican crafts can be found at any other location but the you can unique items that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Fight through the crowds of sightseers and tourists if you know what youre looking for. Always a fun place to stop

Had anything you wanted. Good place for souvenirs. Beautiful day in Austin.

Love it! Theyve got whatever youre looking for. Big or small, beautiful or silly...something for everyone. And we loved walking down Congress Ave!

Great assortment of cool stuff from all over the world! We spent quite some time in there, looking at all the international handcrafted items. Spoke with two staff members, both very nice and helpful. Ill definitely be back next timeImin Austin.

Very cool Mexican style stuff. Got my wife a nice necklace and she loves it.

This large emporium carries handmade gifts from all over the world, with a heavy Latin American influence. Shopping here is like being in a cultural bazaar with multiple countries represented. If you are looking to add some global influence to your home decor, this is the place to go. Its also worth mentioning that the prices are very reasonable.

We bought an oil drum art piece. Didnt want to bring it on the plane as it was too large. They offered to ship it. It arrived in perfect condition in just a few days. Great service, nice people.

So many interesting objects from all over the world. I never get tired of stopping by to peruse their shop. Something cool around every corner.

This was one of my favorite shops in ATX. Staff was great and not at all hesitant with my million questions. You’ll find unique finds from literary all over the world here.

A store full of unusual and unique products. I spent almost an hour in here. Nothing I needed but I had fun looking at all the unique items.

Beautiful and fun crafts from different cultures. Also a good collection of t shirts and hats.

Coolest gift shop in Austin!

Great shop with tasteful selection of folk art from around the world. Lots of Mexican things, but also South American, Indian, West African, ....All sorts: textiles, ex votos (milagros), ceramics, village toys made of old cans, amusing posters, even a small book section mostly about folk art.Like several other places on South Congress, it has a funny mix of cheap stuff for twenty-somethings who want something cute on a small budget, many interesting middle priced things, and a few higher end items (up to hundreds of dollars).

Great place with many different small and large handmade items. A beautiful representation of high quality objects made by skilled individuals.

Best place for out of state (or in state!) gifts. So many cool things. If you want to bring a little sumthin from Texas, get it here!

Cute shop with all these traditional arts, jewelry, and trinkets. Staff is helpful and really nice!! Definitely go here to buy a nice sovenier

Always my go to place for that special gift. Carefully selected, mostly hand made imports for home and life. Beautiful open space with colorful selections and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Had a good time here lots to see nice for suvineers.

Great knick knacks. The goods from abroad are a little kitschy. Good for your out of town visitors.

Its a neat place where you can find handcrafted items from India, Peru Mexico, and a few more places. I found it very interesting $

Wow, just gorgeous! From the name I expected mainly Mexican and other central or south American imports, but I saw items from Portugal, India, Japan, Turkey, Indonesia, and even more (in addition to what I expected to see). Many beautiful homewares, including a large section for Dia de los Muertos, and then jewellery, cards, and other knick-knacks. Loved my visit :)

This place is full of amazing finds! Jewelry, clothing, home decor, and a very impressive array of Dia de los Muertos essentials. Also the best and most reasonably priced wraparound sari skirts Ive been able to find.

This is a pretty fun place. Tresoros showcases items from all around the world! Knitted goods from South America, Carpeted Goods from India. Its a true and true import shop right on the heart of S. Congress.

Great merchandise, but I have to echo previous reviewers about the staffs attitude. A friend and I were purchasing a gift when it started to pour outside. I asked if we could have a plastic sack so we could put my friends shoes in it (suede shoes she didnt want to get wet). The manager responded rudely that they dont give plastic but I could have a paper sack for my purchase. I asked if I could get another paper sack to put her shoes in and, after smirking at me, she said no, we dont do that.I was kind of taken aback. I completely understand not wanting to give extra sacks for fear someone may use them to walk off with merchandise, but we were purchasing stuff, about to walkout the door, and it was pouring outside.It wasnt the fact that they wouldnt give us the extra sack, it was how rude they were about it. I cant say Ill ever go back after that experience.

Good fun browsing around. Nice staff and not too expensive.

Great local place with artisan crafts and products. Perfect home accessories and gifts!

The RUDEST people run this store!! Warning to those with disabilities who enter their shop, they will be rude to you and your service animal. I walked in with my medical alert dog and was asked to leave. When I told them this was my service animal, they rolled their eyes and asked me to be careful in the store. Im sorry but if you have to be this rude to a customer then you dont need my business. Plenty of other on South congress that sell the same knick knacks.

Whatever the occasion you are celebrating, birthday gift, wedding barmitvah Tesoros in Austin has that special gift. You dont come to Austin to buy New York, or Brooklyn goods you come to Austin to keep it weird.Tesoros is a neighborhood staple, some of the employees have been there for decades and their passion for their inventory and community are obvious by the way they treat the shoppers, like a primo.There is jewelry, gold, silver, stones braceletes, at all pricepoints. Some of my favotire little studs I bought here for under a dove ($20.00). Ther are gemstones and cute little dresses, ceramic dishes and lots of cool art.Something special are also the Milagros, they have some from Peru and some from Mexico, they make great little gifts.Overall I highly recommend this place.

Lots of interesting products, laid back environment, helpful staff.

Neat place, they always have stuff I am interested in buying, but they are way overpriced.

Some of the good there are incredibly unique, while most are simply overpriced tourist traps.

These people are really friendly and have a large variety of unique items for sale.

Great shop. Found many little treasures.

Very cool inventory. Unique. Staff was helpful..

I LOVE this shop and always find something that I know will be a great gift or that needs to be in my home now!

Tesoros is full of unique gifts at reasonable prices. However, the staff is not the friendliest. It was the only shop on SoCo that refused to take my debit card without an ID. Did not make us feel welcome at all.

This place makes me sad because I cant have everything in it. Such beautiful things! I want them all!

Just left the store. Yes has great merchandise but some of the staff are not welcoming. My wife found 2 pairs of earrings on a rack labeled $4.00 once at the counter the girl told us they were $18 a piece as my wife paid for the rest of the stuff I walked over to the rack to find a lady taking them off too which I said this is where my wife found the earrings. This lady rudely said, I KNOW THATS WHAT I WAS TELLING HER (pointing to the other worker who was really nice) THEY SHOULDNT BE THERE. So I walked back to the register with my wife. Asked the young lady at the register who that rude lady was...come to find out she is the manager (Julia). She approached the register and I told her, the way you responded to me was kind of rude and I didnt appreciate a simple Im sorry sir but they were on the wrong rack could have done she looked at me with a smerk and said well sorry as we walked out this lady proceeds to talk about us with other staff at the register and starts laughing. I believe its a great store but if all the managers are like this Julia lady then I will pass. I am usually one to comment on the good but this was a humiliating experience that should not go unlooked cause I would hate for anyone else to go through this. Thank you to the young lady with the short spikey hair and beautiful smile that returned our purchase after this whole mess happened we did not care to keep the products. And to Julia a little constructive criticism: when working in retail a smile and politeness go a long way with staff and customers alike. Thank You

So many great gift ideas here, its one of my go-to spots for presents at the holidays or special occasions. this is a great store for browsing, and finding all kinds of unique items in a range of prices.

I love Tesoros because it has interesting gift items. ive never had a bad experience there and Ive shopped there numerous times for inexpensive gift items.

Amazing eccletic store!!! a lot of the merchandise is from artisians in Africa, New Zealand, Venezuela, etc.

I LOVE the people in here ..and all the cute things!!

Lots of cool items at great prices.

You can always find something neat here! Great for a unique gift!

A lot of art and home decor here.

Nice gift shops with lots of cute items.

Fun store with plenty of unique items. The prices are a bit high most likely due to property value of south congress and the droves of tourists.

This place is filled with novelties, tapestries, and trickets from around the world. Unlike the other two shops on SoCo that mainly focus on imports from the Latin communities, Tresoros brings in items from India, Mongolia, Europe as well as Central and South America. Their prices are pretty moderate and uncommonly overpriced. Beware that no photography is allowed inside.

This place is AMAZING! You have yet to wander in Tesoros you are missing out. All of the items in this store are fantastic and may be a little pricey but this is only because everything there has been purchased or traded. Almost everything in there is handmade and imported. You can find unique Dia de los Muertos gifts, calaveras, shirts, bags, Christmas ornaments, and even great handmade jewelery. The staff is super helpful and will recommend gifts within the price range you want to spend as well. The store is very clean and has a great atmospheric feel. Must see place when walking/enjoying So Co.

I bought so much!!!! Great Dia de los Muertos themed items.

Bought a few things for the family here.. nice and clean and the employees were very knowledgeable..

Its gotten so big you get lost. I love it.

Just a neat little curio shop. sooo austin, in my opinion.

Great place Check out while in Austin.

Great service, attentive personnel, great home and gift options ☆☆☆☆☆

Always a great place for out of ordinary.

Very nice shop. Alot of over priced items.

Fun to bring visitors here, also great for gifts!

Cool unique Mexican gifts.

Love the Mexican Folk Art

Great items from around the world.

Super fun place to visit.

Very nice selection from trinkets to furniture items.

I love this shop 😍

Beautiful

There are great items here, but their prices are beyond ridiculous, even for a tourist area!!

So cool place!

My favorite shop!

I want everything in this store!

My last shopping place in Austin

Good stuff
