Balboa Liquor and Deli

Super friendly liquor stor for all your drinks, snacks, and lottery needs!They don't yell at you when you scratch your tickets, they're honest when they scan your tickets. These are all pluses in my book.Great place to grab lottery and snacks.

While I was basically next door grabbing something, the roommate wandered into Balboa Liquor and Deli. I met him up while he was checking out on Tuesday, September 4th around 6:15pm.*Jjamppong crab shaped chips ($2.99)*Pepperidge Farm Lexington Crispy Milk Chocolate Toffee Almond Cookies*Pepperidge Farm Brussels CookiesI have no idea how much the cookies were, but I believe the grand total was somewhere around $11.35? The cashier was super nice and I like their assortment of Asian themed snacks. I adore those crab shaped chips. And we saw a bag of Korean Barbecue beef jerky on the way out. We would have bought it, but by then, it was too late. We had already paid.Nice varied options for a convenience store. And a friendly cashier. That's all I'm looking for in my neighborhood liquor store.

This is a classic little neighborhood liquor store. The staff is friendly you can buy your lotto tickets, your booze as well as some household essentials. Wish the hours were a little bit later but it's a sleepy neighborhood and everything closes pretty early..

Balboa Liquor is just 2 long aisles cramped high goodies on all sides.noticed beers priced reasonably, stone @4.49gourmet chocolate @3ishgrab a lotto pic initially, perused rest of store later, pleasantly surprised at fair pricing.

They always have good candy and cool ranch Doritos which are very important for my roommates and my lifestyle.

I got to know my share of little SF liquor stores in Highschool, and I just wish I'd had this one then. Prices are typical for neighborhood store, but it's only a block away, and there is a fine selection of gummy candy to hide in people's couches. The icecream fridge is still broken. The beer selection is always changing. I mentioned to 'Toine that there wasn't OE or Mickey's 40's and then I dindn't go back for a month. Went in last week and he'd bought seven cases for us. , but they had three kinds of OE tallcans and every kind of Chimay. There's always something good on the TV and 'Toine's been asking me how much I paid for stuff at the liquor store down the street. Funny story: about a week ago I was smoking outside the Hockey Haven down the street with the bartender and a buddy and this tricked out Corvette pulls up in across the street, does a quick U-turn and a slow cruise by the bar slow enough for us to recognize 'Toine at the wheel. We said 'Hey' to him, but he took off, ran the stop sign at the corner, and pulled a squealing left turn up 37th Ave.

This place is a wonderful neighborhood convenience store. What makes them special is that they have a vast selection of beers from local micro brews to your name brand beers. Every time I visit I always find something new to try. Ask the owner and he'll let you know the new beer selection that he was in. More importantly he appreciates the feedback and any recommendations that you have on beer selection. Great place to buy lotto too. I always pick up my lotto tickets here. Overall if you want to support a local mom and pop store then this is the place to go. They are wonderful and friendly people.

so, my honey and i were walking down the street towards the beach and all of a sudden we hear someone screaming "hey you guys! you guys!" and we turn around and big toine is standing outside of his shop and he says "you've gotta try these ribs." he has his smoker set up and we resist at first, but he offers us each one for free, and they were fatty ribby ambrosia, as my honey just said. so we bought a rack and brought them with us to our bonfire and it was great. that must have been the best idea we ever had. so, if you ever see big toine with his smoker out, get the ribs.

It's the friendliest Liquor store in town. They don't gouge on prices, they have a good selection from regular to hipster, (can get a snapple, heinz beans and Hemp kombucha) and there's not much more to ask for in a neighbourhood liquor store. Hope it stays open forever!

I went to Big Toine's Store and I must say I had a very good experience. Toine was very helpful and kind. If there was not a product in his store he took the information down and promise to work hard to get the items. He's also willing to match prices. I wish it was more stores in the neighbor-hood like Big Toine's Liquor Store. Oh and his BBQ Ribs are so good meat falling right off the bone, make you want to slap ya momma!!!They are awesome....If you are ever in the area stop by and pick up a slap trust me you wont be dissatisfied.Nanky From SM
