Comments (0) Best Place to Buy a Virgin - 2005

Chango Botanica Inc.

Full of statues of Jesus, the Grim Reaper and the good ol' Virgin of Guadalupe, Chango's window displays have probably caused more than a few auto accidents. Located near the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff, this botanica is your one-stop shop for everything needed to practice Mexican Santeria, the hybrid faith of Catholicism and Pagan Afro-Cuban religion. You name it, they've got it: herbs, holy water, votive candles, statues, incense and even aerosol sprays that can keep your in-laws away or help you win a court case. It's way better than that measly holy window stain over in Fort Worth. And even though the lotion may cost an arm and a leg, one bottle we found had a label featuring a picture of Jesus Christ flanked by some big marijuana leaves. It seems all of our suspicions about the Savior have been confirmed.
