Fanita Liquor & Market in Santee sits on Fanita Drive at the Five Points Lane intersection, serving the Carlton Hills residential zone and visitors heading to Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve less than a mile north on Fanita Parkway. The convenience-market format bundles beer, wine, spirits, snacks, and household staples under one roof — a one-stop provisioning model that complements the campground and fishing supplies at Santee Lakes General Store on Fanita Parkway. A San Diego County health inspection score of 96 out of 100 reflects compliance with cold-storage temperature protocols and food-handling sanitation requirements across its packaged-goods inventory. The store's beer cooler rotates a mix of domestic, imported, and regional craft selections that overlap with the San Diego County microbrewery focus at Bowls N Brews on Carlton Hills Boulevard. The tobacco section carries a full range of premium cigar singles and machine-rolled options stored in a humidity-controlled display case maintaining 65–72% relative humidity for proper wrapper-leaf preservation.
