Rancho San Diego Wine & Spirits & Delicatessen

This is a very typical liquor store with a small market, but it mostly carries beer, wine, and spirits. I’ve been in here several times over the years when I happen to be visiting my mother since she lives near by. I usually come in for a lotto ticket or a bag of chips or gum.
Service in each visit has been friendly enough. The liquor store us located in the strip mall that is almost empty. There us to be a Family Foods next door, but it is gone, and a Nurseryland, and that’s history too. The store carries ice and pretty much what all liquor stores carry.

I have been coming into this liquor store, which has had the same ownership, for well over 10 years now. This goes for as long as I can remember. I was raised in the area and remember my family coming into this store for everything ever since I was about 5 years old.
The owner is a really nice guy. He remembers your favorite items, asks about your family, and is really good with the people in the community. There are several guys that work here that aren’t as nice and don’t really understand customer service, but they usually get phased out after a year.
This place sells Jones soda, which is tough to find individually sold in the area. The prices are about average except for the cost of wines. There is a gentleman always trying to sell me some promotional bottle of alcohol that I want. Regardless of my response to wanting to hear his spiel, he continues to attempt to sell me something I don’t want for 30 seconds to a minute. Another thing I notice here are fluctuating prices… If something isn’t tagged with a price, count on the guy at the counter to guestimate haha.
