La Familia Pawn and Jewelry

I have never made a purchase from this pawn shop on 1823 NW 79th street before, and my recent experience has reaffirmed my decision. I visited the store to purchase a lawn mower, based on their reviews. However, I soon discovered that these reviews were inaccurate. Upon entering the store, I waited for approximately two minutes to be buzzed in. The rude young lady who works there, responsible for managing their social media, was the first person I encountered. She was seated near the entrance, engaged on her phone. As I proceeded to look for the lawn mower, I noticed that the other staff members were assisting other customers. I decided to purchase the only lawn mower available and approached the young lady to request assistance. She responded by asking why I couldn't retrieve the lawn mower myself. I explained that the box had a bungee sensor attached, and I required her assistance. She informed me that she was performing part of her job, which involved managing the store's Instagram and social media. I pointed out that she seemed to be focused solely on the jewelry department, while being on her phone. She became defensive, suggesting that I was overreacting. I clarified that I simply needed her assistance with the purchase. The exchange between us continued, but I remained committed to purchasing the lawn mower. I requested to speak with the manager, and one of the employees directed me to Elyo. As I began explaining the situation to Elyo, the young lady interrupted me by yelling over my conversation. I ignored her and continued to explain the events to Elyo. However, he repeatedly interrupted me and ultimately suggested that the issue was my fault, due to my perceived attitude. I disagreed with his assessment and expressed my disappointment with the unprofessional service I received. As a  manager myself, I was surprised by Elyo's behavior. He responded by saying 'that's good for you,' which I found unprofessional. I reiterated my concerns regarding the service and Elyo's behavior, which he took offense to. He warned me not to speak to him in a certain tone and claimed that he was not a child. I was taken aback by his response and realized that the young lady and Elyo may have a personal connection, which could be detrimental to the store's success. I decided that I would not return to the store and would advise others against visiting. The unprofessional service I received was unacceptable, and I believe that it will ultimately harm the store's reputation. I'll nerver recommend my family or friends never step toe into this parking lot.

Hi friends. It's been a while I don't shop at these stores and I'm just going by what friends of mine that shop at these stores had recently experience. Other than nice staff . Please have the jewelers test your jewelry that you are purchasing to make sure it is real gold or silver. Just advise. We should check it in general but for these locations. Please double check. Thanks .

Friendly environment, very attentive, and prices were pretty good 👍.  Out of Towner but if I'm back in area, I will be back

Lucky Pawn Jewelry

Frankie is an awesome guy. Helped me pick out a necklace for my wife and was very helpful and knowledgeable. If you need any type of jewelry Frankie is your man. Great prices and service, highly recommend them.

Frankie the jeweler is great. I bought a ring from here and it was size on the spot. Thanks again for the great service and would definitely recommend to my family and friends.

Their customer service is second to none. We came on a Wednesday and we were back the next day thanks to frankie. His customer service was the best and completely transparent with us with every jewelry piece we asked for. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Johnson Firearms

Great place to pick up your orders. Check out all the new merchandise. Find the accessories you want and even get your gun worked on plus cigars and beer. Not a bad combo

Amazing set of guys there, very good pricing and availability, Manny, Alex, Patrick and Tim do an excellent job always, buy and sell through them is highly recommended.

Always helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful. Excellent selection of products and services.  Reasonable prices. Some great deals, some normal retail. Ammo in stock.

Somarriba, Inc. Gunsmith

I wish I could give a higher review because Randy and Harroldo at the front sold me on the place. Thought I could bring my old handguns here but after my first "repair" I am not impressed. They successfully cleaned and reassembled my pistol and fitted a slide lock/safety on it but on the same day I got it back, the retaining screw broke. All I did was use the slide lock safety once to drop the slide and it shattered an original Colt fireblued screw... Granted it was old but thats not typically what would break when doing this. I suspect it was overtorqued or improperly fitted. They blamed it on me and the owner was going to charge me 120 dollars to remove the screw. On top of that (and this is the worst part for me since I am not rich) they charge you $50 to test fire your gun with your ammo... It should just be a waiver to dissolve them of all liability in the case of catastrophic failure (that was the reasoning behind it). This place it seems caters to rich snobs. Others may have better luck but for me, I regrettably will not return and consider my 300 bucks plus partially wasted.

PS the owner needs to mind where he points the barrel of the guns he handles in the shop. Idc if its not loaded, one should make the effort to point away from customers at all times.

I love this place. Great customer service, knowledgeable of fire arm, attention to detail and making you feel right home. For all your firearm needs, they have it.

I left my rifle to have some custom work done. Workmanship is outstanding. Rifle shoots great. I would highly recommend this gunsmith.

Blitz Armory

Picked up this pre-owned HK SP5k-PDW from Pete for a great price! Cleaned her up and took her to the range! Not one issue, ate up brass and steel ammo for breakfast.

Blitz is a hidden gem. I’ve visited multiple times and every time, Pete treats you with great hospitality. Great business and great owner!

I’ve been doing business with Peter (owner) for about 3-4 years now. Absolutely the best 1:1 service, professionalism, and feeling welcomed as a customer. Always excelling about going above and beyond. I found the best selection of guns here and definitely best prices too.

You want a suppressor? Peter is who you need to go to. The process is so smooth and fast with him. He has a kiosk as well. My last suppressor took TWO days for approval.

Once you experience a business interaction with him, you can’t never go back to major retailers who just see you as one more customer.

Highly recommended!
Attached a picture of just SOME of the goodies acquired from Peter.

I had an excellent experience at Blitz Armory! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced enthusiast, they take the time to answer every question without any pressure. The selection of firearms, accessories, and ammunition was impressive and well-organized, and the prices were very competitive.

What really stood out was their commitment to safety and education. They offered great advice on local laws and even recommended training options. The entire process, from browsing to purchase, was smooth and respectful.

If you're looking for quality products and top-notch service, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Dominguez Armory

Max makes every transfer process smooth and pleasant. Best prices in town. Highly recommended!

The owner makes the transaction very easy and is very flexible with meetup times. It’s a small business but the owner makes it feel like you’re doing business with an old friend. Highly recommend using them for all your gun transactions.

Amazing customer service and impeccable attention to detail from the staff at Dominguez Armory. Quick and speedy service! They took care of everything in a very professional manner. Great communication with one on one style assistance for any questions that needed to be answered. Will definitely be using their services again. I 10/10 recommend

Moriarti Armaments

I’ve been searching for reliable parts and accessories for my Micro Draco, and I’m glad I found MoriartiArmaments.com. Their selection is top-notch, especially for AK-style pistols like the Micro Draco. Everything I ordered was in stock, fairly priced, and shipped out quickly.

The build quality of the parts I received exceeded my expectations, and the fit was perfect. It’s clear these guys know their firearms. Customer service was also on point—fast responses and knowledgeable support.

If you’re customizing a Micro Draco or looking for quality AK pistol components, Moriarti Armaments is a great choice. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon.

Bought a 18” “premium upper” from these guys a couple years ago. Took it apart to find out it’s been a 16” barrel all along. When contacting them they gave me a condescending response with a link to their policy about returns and time frames. Never mind they took MORE money than they deserved. And then acted like they were going out of their way to help me by replacing the barrel and gas tube only. Not the too short hand guard that comes on the 16 inch package. Not interested in begging for what I already paid for. All in all I wouldn’t buy ANY components from these guys. Absolute trash quality machining AND customer service.

I recently purchased parts for my Glock 43X from MoriartiArmaments.com, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The website is easy to navigate, offers a wide selection of high-quality firearm parts and accessories, and their prices are very competitive.

Shipping was fast, and everything arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. What really impressed me was the excellent customer service—quick to respond and genuinely helpful with my questions about Glock 43X compatibility.

If you're looking to upgrade or customize your Glock 43X, Moriarti Armaments is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back for more gear. Highly recommended!

Ambitec Inc

The plate carrier and plates I ordered are very decent quality. However, the helmet I ordered was in limbo for a while. I sent numerous emails, left numerous voicemails, and messaged multiple social media pages that I believe they are associated to (RTS Tactical). After almost two months and lacking customer service, I finally got the issue resolved after about four total times speaking to someone on the phone. They overnighted me a helmet, finally.

Buyer beware. Horrible company with no ethics. I wouldn't touch anything associated with Ambitec or RTS Tactical. The put up a big company appearance but it's really just a couple of shady operators. Wouldn't be surprised if they were dropshipping everything from China.
