Furniture Store in Loretto

janai229 - 5-30-2016 at 05:14 AM

We are looking to purchase some rustico Méxican furniture and are wondering if there is a good place to do so in Loretto and/or Constitución. We have a place in San Juanico and want to pick up a few items en route.

Loreto...there is one store that has some armoires and such on Independencia near the police station. Conchita's has some pieces. both have limited choices but worth a look.

janai229 - 5-30-2016 at 07:02 AM

Do you have a street name or local for Conchita's ?? I haven't spent too much time in Loretto.

rhintransit - 5-30-2016 at 07:35 AM

I think it is Pino Suarez, but not sure. if you go down Salvatierra/main drag (towards the Sea) and turn right at the OXXO, it is on the next corner. the street is one street before the corner with the taxis and where you could...if it were legal...turn left into the plaza/Cafe Ole, etc. she usually closes for siesta.

Heros de Indepencia/other store whose name I forget...main drag, circle type thing by the bus station/Sherman Williams, follow it around until you are heading north towards the police station...turn right at Independence/stop sign by the station, it's on the left less than a half a block east.

There's also a store called Adwa, located on Missioneros just North of Juarez.

LORETO (only one T) was the first capital of California, founded in 1697.

oops, yes, forgot Adwa. good idea. check them all. stock is intermittent, but all usually have something and some will order.

Do the maps open for you? When I click on the thumbnail images the maps do not open up. Otherwise, that would be cool.
I wonder where they got the name idea, "gotbaja"? LOL

Probably the Got Milk ads:light:

Ha ha... well, that is exactly where I got the idea from back in 2004! LOL

Antonio (BajaCactus) owned a printing company in Tijuana and made my bumper stickers there. My 'got baja?' hats were also made in Baja, in Tijuana.

grab a flight to Guadalajara
enjoy furniture shopping and a truly great Mexican city (food, drinks, sights)
shipping the stuff to Loreto will be fairly inexpensive

frustrated with all the overpriced junk in Cabo and La Paz I did that one day
found everything I wanted and had a great time

The maps open fine for me.
Go to the web site and they open just fine.

Shop in Guadalajara and ship. Shopping is Baja is too expensive.

Yes, I went to the website, clicked on the thumbnail maps, and then a big box appears with a red X in the middle instead of a big map? They look like fun maps, too bad they don't open for everyone.

Same thing for me. Would like to see them.

I also got the blank screen with the red X in the center, but was able to go a little further and download individual maps of the towns.

I used the translate to English mode, so I was able to view maps (not to scale) of Peace, All Saints, and Fishmonger. That would be La Paz, Todo Santos, and Pescadero!

rhintransit - 5-31-2016 at 08:54 PM

OOPS! That would be turn right at the BigMartm NOT OXXO. Sorry, same function, different stores

I realize that this source may not help inasmuch as they import stuff to the US, but you just might wish to contact these folks to see what help they may offer. http://www.directfrommexico.com/furniture-mexican-painted.ht...
