Arte y Loqueras: Your Chicano/Latino Superstore!

About Me

Arte y Loqueras is YOUR online Chicano/Latino Superstore. We ship everywhere, including around the world. (Yes, I'm as surprised as anyone else to ship an order for "Brown Pride" locs sunglasses to Norway!) We take special pride in the fact that orders usually ship out in less than 24 hours. So visit us at www.arteyloqueras.com and shop our offerings with confidence.
About the Store: Arte y Loqueras carries an excellent selection of Latino and Chicano themed and designed t-shirts, tank tops, sunglasses, wallets, keychains, bags, and more for men, women, and children. Poster prints of works by Simon Silva, Frida Kahlo, and Diego Rivera along with framed photos of Frida and various novelties ranging from Chicano comic books to mugs to unique CDs (Pinata Protest, Pistolera, Payola, Cabeza de Gallo, Bless619) make for great gift ideas. Recently we have added some Dia de los Muertos arts and crafts (including some muertos marionettes!) along with some books about everything from Che Guevara to la Llorona to the aesthetics of cholo style.

Besides shopping online at www.arteyloqueras.com you can also find us at various street fairs and festivals throughout San Diego County throughout the year.

GRACIAS TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! We're devoted to keeping you all happy and proud.
