R & G Grocery

You’re lost wandering the streets of the sketchy Long Beach area between PCH and Anahiem. You decide you are thirsty, but not for just any beverage. The only thing that can quench your thirst is a bottle of a fine syrupy hooch with a powerful name that lets you know that not only will your thirst me quenched, but you’ll be smashed when you finish.
People with these sorts of urges are the people that understand the true glory of little grocery stores with two inches of bullet proof glass between you and the cashier with poor English language skills and a general décor that has the feel of someone’s poorly converted garage.
In this particular store they have a wide selection of Andre sparkling wine including the entertainingly delightfully named Cold Duck. For the professional there are 4 different flavors of Cisco there as well. Anyone with any experience with the fortified wine family will know that the 4 different flavors refer to the packets of that knock off Kool-​aid, Flavor-​Aid, that they add to the cough syrup, rubbing alcohol, anti-​freeze combo they use to make the swill they bottle.
Don’t think for a second that cheap booze (bottle of Cisco container 4 servings $ 2.25), they also have cheap crappy toys that no child would ever want and a wide selection of random household items and Mexican candies and hamburger helper, because let’s be honest you would be upset if you couldn’t get your hamburger helper at the same store you buy your cheap booze you’d be upset.
This is the type of place you only go if you have to, or if you are in the neighborhood and you and another broke friend want to both get hammered on booze with the nickname «liquid crack» for under $ 5. It is really useful for that second scenario.
