We are beyond excited to share that our store is now open at the new terminal of Portland International Airport!

For us, this isn’t just a store; it’s a space where our love for our Latin roots and culture comes to life, a space filled with the heart and soul of everything that makes us who we are.

We’ve come a long way since our great-grandfather made baseball gear for his local team in Oaxaca, Mexico. We carry his spirit with us in everything we create today. Your love and support have been our guiding light, helping us reach this incredible moment. By choosing our handmade creations, you’re not just buying a product—you’re preserving a legacy that’s meant to be shared with the world.

 

As a family of immigrants, it’s hard to express just how proud we feel to be the very first Latin gift shop at PDX. This dream, born from our love for where we come from, is finally a reality, and we’re so excited to share it with you. Here, you’ll find a delightful selection of treasures from Mexican brands that fill our hearts with warmth.

 

 
Woven Market Bag This timeless woven tote is filled with nostalgia and cherished for its durability. In Oaxaca, single-use plastic bags are discouraged, leading to the revival of this iconic tote. Now, it shines with modern patterns and vibrant colors, perfect for those who seek style and sustainability in one. 


Chili-Covered Gummies Get ready for a burst of flavor with our chili-covered gummies, blending sweet and spicy in every bite. This packs includes a mouthwatering variety apple, cherry, strawberry, watermelon, blue raspberry, and sour flavors. Perfect for those who crave the balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. Every bite is a flavorful adventure!

Jarritos In 1950, Mexico was craving vibrant colors and bold flavors, and that’s when Jarritos was born—the country’s first national soft drink. Made with 100% natural sugar, our refreshing flavors come from fresh fruit trees in Mexico’s richest regions. Try pineapple, guava, and mandarin.

Alongside these cherished brands, we’re proud to showcase our own Orox creations.

Oregon Landmark Coaster Inspired by the stunning natural landscapes of our beautiful state, these coasters feature simple, elegant designs that capture the essence of a lovely day outdoors. Use them on your coffee table, pack them in a picnic basket, or give them as a thoughtful gift. They pair perfectly with your favorite PNW brew, liquor, coffee, or tea, and come in a variety of colors!

 

For us, this shop is a celebration of family, heritage, and craftsmanship. It’s a way for us to keep our traditions alive while offering a little piece of home to those who visit. We hope when you step into A Latin Corner in PDX, you feel the warmth, love, and pride we pour into every item.

Every item we make holds a story—woven with care, shaped by tradition, and crafted by hands that carry the spirit of Oaxaca. These aren’t just products; they’re pieces of our heritage, filled with the love and passion of generations before us.

 

We invite you to discover our collection and the stories that live within each creation. Together, we can uplift and celebrate the artisans who pour their hearts into every piece, honoring traditions that will continue to inspire for generations.

 

Por vida y más,
The Martinez Family
