our favorite Old Town Albuquerque shops
Salsa Saint
Nothing says “local” like regional foods and flavors. In New Mexico, it’s all about the chile. Well, okay… also about corn, beans and squash. But mostly how they all go with chile! Salsa Saint has carefully curated the very best salsas, spices, hot sauces and chile products. Chile peppers actually have addictive properties, so the more you eat, the more you want. For those who miss our New Mexico flavors once they get home, sign up for the Salsa of the Month Club!

They’re our neighbors next door, and Silver Sun loves to show their extraordinary New Mexican jewelry to our guests. Take home some special gifts for friends and family members!
Old Town Hat Shop
Hats are not only a fashion accessory–they’re essential in our brilliant New Mexico sun. Make sure you’re ready to explore our beautiful state equipped with a stylish yet functional hat.
That’s just the beginning of the fashion flair at the Old Town Hat Shop. Add to your southwest travel wardrobe with belts, shawls, clothing, purses, western wear, and even fascinators for that wedding you’ll be attending later this year. Experience the beauty of our landscape, sky and sunsets, and you’ll understand the colors of our clothing.
David Behrens Gallery
David is an incredible artist who weaves iconic New Mexico people, history, folklore and places into unforgettable pieces of art. Visiting the David Behrens Gallery will increase your understanding of the Navajo Code Talkers and their contribution to the World War II effort. If you think you know the “founding fathers,” learn a new perspective.
Those fortunate enough to collect original works of art can make new discoveries. Lithographs of many of David’s works are available in unique mats. Even if you don’t have much room left in your suitcase, you can take home a special memoir with a t-shirt, mug, coaster or perhaps a small print.
