We have a selection of fine wines, liquor and a variety of craft,import and domestic beers. Our deli boasts some of the best sandwiches in San Diego, along with a full soup and salad bar where you can dine inside or out. Catering is available to many downtown businesses.

Our #1 goal here at Mixon Liquor & Deli is for our customers to experience a TASTE BUD EXPLOSION when biting into one of our signature deli sandwiches. Personal favorites are #3 The Construction, #5 The Meter Feeder and #1 The ABC. You can also build your own. Many of our customers travel up to 20 miles for one of our signature deli sandwiches. Just wait until you try one of our sandwiches!

We have been serving San Diego for 4 generations since 1933. Mixon Liquor was issued the 2nd liquor license in San Diego County after prohibition. Grandpa Mixon originally started his wine and spirits store just a few blocks west, in the heart of Little Italy. Then in the 1940's, he moved over to 1427 1st Ave. There he established Mixon Liquor, probably not knowing the San Diego wine and spirits store would remain at the same downtown location for 4 generations.

Papa Joe took over in 1974 and created The Deli, which he owned and operated for 20 years.

His son Steve took over in 1994 and established his own signature deli sandwiches, and is now in his 12th year of ownership.

4th generation Nick, Steve's nephew, is now learning the business.

We can't wait to serve you and hope to see you soon!
