About

My name is Ana Avaknin and I am President and third generation owner of Tex-Mex Curios

My husband is Doran Avaknin and our primary mission is to help our customers heal by providing spiritual consultation and recommending products or services to lift and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.

Our business was founded in 1944 by my grandparents Alfonso Orea Velez and Angelita Orea Garza.

Many Latino families have the Tio or Tia, abuela or abuelo in the family that they turn for spiritual guidance because they have knowledge of spiritual rituals that can address a specific problem. Rituals that involve Saints, prayer works, spiritual waters, incense, crystals etc. all which can be unique in tradition to each family. For decades at our shop and on a daily basis we all have exchanged and shared with each other these unique rituals dear to our faith and family traditions and these traditions not only have evolved over the years but continue to be past down to the next generations

“I have found over the years that common in all these rituals are the inspiration we receive from Angels and Saints“

Just as my Mom and my Abuelita loved and honored our customers and our traditions, my husband and I continue our prayer work, our cleansings and candle work and spiritual healings with the same passion and devotion as our ancestors. The beautiful and vibrant legacy grows and evolves each year, and in my family for over 80 years now.

We feel humbled and blessed to serve, support and comfort you in this journey where you are the most important persona and moving forward we hope to have you be a part of our legacy and enjoy the products that we have selected.
