About

Aztec Liquor in College Area operates a beer, wine, and spirits retail counter at 5225 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego 92115, near the intersection of Dawson Avenue and roughly half a mile east of the SDSU campus. The name references San Diego State's Aztec athletics identity, and the store's position on El Cajon Blvd puts it on the commercial strip that feeds the university's surrounding residential blocks. The shelf inventory covers domestic and imported spirits, a rotating selection of San Diego craft beer from the county's 150-plus brewery scene, and a wine section organized by varietal and region. Pre-mixed cocktail pouches provide a grab-and-go format that the craft-cocktail taps at Next Door Craft Beer & Wine Bar a few blocks east approach from the on-premise side. A snack aisle stocks chips, jerky, candy, and convenience items alongside tobacco products and Mexican sodas. The 92115 stretch of El Cajon Blvd near SDSU supports a half-dozen liquor retailers within a mile radius, and Aztec's position west of College Avenue gives it first-stop proximity to the campus edge that the competitors further east along the boulevard do not share. The store also carries imported beverages and late-night snack staples that serve the same post-event foot traffic from SDSU's Viejas Arena that fills the taco counters at El Rodeo Mexican Food on the same corridor. The register accepts credit, debit, NFC mobile payments, and SNAP/EBT for eligible grocery items across a compact floor plan stocking spirits, beer, wine, snacks, and tobacco under one roof.
