Central Mart

My wife has a Mexican Folklore dance group in Tucson and they needed some items to complete their costumes for an upcoming annual show. We found this hidden gem of a store hidden inside Central Mart in South Phoenix. They have a huge inventory of Mexican Folklore/Folklorico outfits including Sombreros, dresses and Charro suits, and hundreds of other accessories. We have made 4 trips to Phoenix cause there is not places in Tucson for these type of items. Very happy with owners Norma & Victor as they are so knowledgeable in the Mexican dance arts.

I had a very disappointing experience at this clothing store. The manager—whose name I believe is Norma—was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of helping me, she was dismissive and made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. When I asked to speak to someone above her, she told me the owner doesn’t care about complaints. I find that level of service and lack of accountability unacceptable. I would like to have the owner’s phone number so I can personally share my complaint. It’s a shame, because the store has nice clothes, but with customer service like that, I won’t be coming back or recommending it to anyone.

Great place to get authentic Mexican items. Clothing and streetwear including dickies. Shoes, like Nike Cortez and so much more. #choloshop #azstreetwear

I go for hats and plain shirts that I like that they always have, and it's like a swat meat but tiny and indoors and open the whole week. One thing to take note of though its that the place is old, so for many, it may seem sketchy. It will feel like they keep eyes on you, but that's because of its location, cause they do get quite a bit of shoplifters. As you will be able to tell by all the photos at the entrance. It may not seem glamorous, but why not go once may find something you like that they don't sell else where.

I was looking for baptism outfits for my boys and came upon this place online. This is a very nice place in an odd location; anyhow this place had a lot to see. However I couldn't get as many things as I wanted because a lot of the little spots inside this mart only took cash.

Nice selection of apparel. Shoes jewelry and more. Went in to look for ensemble for my daughter to wear for an interview. Pretty much found everything she was looking for like a blazer, cammy, slacks, and shoes. She's slightly a full figured woman. To my surprise they had really nice plus sizes. They had nice school uniforms for the children as well. Then we headed for the shoe section. Nice selection of shoes. From dressy, casual, sandles, slippers like Nike, Jordan, and so on from 13.00 to 59.00. Nicely organized considering that the place isn't huge. No public restrooms. All in all I think I'll go back and shop for myself.

Even though it's in the ghetto, I love shopping here. The workers are nice
