Person running the register was extremely creepy! I was picking up an order on DoorDash and I asked the man running the register if he needed to see my id and he said "yeah, just so I can see your address" would definitely NEVER recommend coming to this store! read more

If you live in Escondido you've probably sat in traffic at the Washington light at least once. You've always wondered what Goro's is like and is it worth stopping in for a visit. I came looking for sour beers and Goro's had a large variety of Wild Barrel SOUR Beer cans. Strawberry is my favorite but they had all sorts of weird flavors like nectarine and papaya. Goro's may be a bit small, but they've maximized every square foot. They've also gone all-in on the craft beer phenomenon. This is definitely the place to go for locally made beers and seltzer. read more

Goro's Liquor - Strawberry sour beer - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Escondido, California

Great liquor prices Billy always work with me on finding the right nightcap. Usually do tequila but he showed me some really nice spirits

Not impressed with the operation online. Ordered a Kentucky Owl bourbon. After a week without the order having been shipped, Goro's simply canceled the order. No explanation. No email. I went online to check the order and found it had been canceled. Made me wonder if it's because PayPal doesn't release payment until the order ships. If that isn't acceptable, don't allow PayPal as a payment option. Granted, sample size of one, but my first impression is not at all positive. Online buyer beware. read more

I love this liquor store! For being on the smaller side they have tons of craft beer and a large selection to choose from. They have fancy alcohol bottles in various shapes like animals, guns and more and they seem to get in more of a selection near the holidays. The prices are reasonable and I was notified they can order beers for you if they are out of what you want. The staff has always been friendly and the store is always clean. I definitely recommend Goro's Liquor and will be back! read more

He's got some great selections and I found a bottle of whiskey that was hard to find. Prices are reasonable.

I ordered online and never received my product since December. Tried emailing them on several occasions NEVER got a response . Never would I recommend ordering from this company. Also tried calling the number listed and never answered the phone. read more

Very nice shop and owners, family owned and operated. We had no idea where to go for our favorite wine choices while on vacation, they turned out to have every option and most of them stored cold in a fridge. Great shop. read more

Goro's Liquor - Great selection of obscure and hard-to-find craft breweries. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Escondido, California

My favorite liquor store in the area, great selection of craft beer at decent prices. In addition they also carry your run-of-the-mill ratchet brew, all your convenience store favorites, and then some. The guys that run this joint are laid back and humble -good customer service. Businesses like these are the ones I make an effort to support. If you're looking for a dope-ass craft brew variety at humble prices along with friendly service, this is your spot. read more

I only just started using Goro's for delivery about a month ago, and I must say, I have been extremely impressed. They always get my items delivered on time. The drivers are very friendly and are taking every safety precaution during these difficult times. I am extremely pleased with the staff at the store. If there is a particular item I want that isn't stalked at the moment, they call or text me with several recommendations to try instead, if I want. As soon as my favorite item rolls of the truck the next week, I immediately get a call letting me know it's ready to purchase. So, very friendly people all around, and it's obvious they are doing their absolute best to keep every customer happy during these trying times. I'm glad I found out about this place. This is actually my very first review on any platform. I figured it was about time to get in the game. Thank you to all of those reviewers across yelp for helping to inform my decisions over the many many years! I pledge to not hold my silence (i.e. opinions) anymore and therefore not let you the users, and the companies, down by holding back my 2 cents. You're hard work is GREATLY appreciated by all! read more

Friendly! the 5 stars is for great customer service. Been coming back here and truly never been disappointed!

I stopped in here for a drink after killing some time getting some work done on my car. This is one the cleaner better organized liquor stores I have walked into. The beer selection is above average. They carry some boxed sets I have not seen elsewhere around town. The staff was very friendly. Prices looked comparable to what I have seen around town. read more

Wow. You like craft beer? Like it cold? So do I. I walked in, saw a massive row of well organized craft beer, some on the shelf on the left, some cold on the right. First thing I noticed was the amazing selection, second thing thing I noticed was the down to earth pricing. I saw some Alpine Duet on the warm shelf, and grabbed that along with a warm Avery Barrel aged Raspberry sour. Enter Billy. Billy, the owner came around the corner asking If I've been here before. I said no, but I found him on Instagram posting amazing beer at amazing prices. Then, he tells me that anything on the shelf he has in the cooler. This sold me. Customer for life. I can't tell you how much I despise buying a beer that I'm super excited to try, and then have to chill it at home. First world probs, right? Anyway, Billy is the man. Killer selection with reasonable pricing. If you are in the area, do your self a favor and see Billy at Goro's. Oh, and the signage out front does not say Goro's. Billy assures me some new signage is on the way. Follow the address and revel in craft bottle and can paradise! read more

The mark up is real at this store. I understand The need to turn a profit but geez that was a significant markup on a 12 pack? I never paid that much for a case of modelo. My second visit and sadly my last. read more

Billy person in charge of this store or should I say bully, not a good minded business person when you talk down to you're customers and tell them to leave or "get the fuck out " in his own words , when you ask for help or inquire about something,skip this one , go across the street less selection better Service. read more

I lived next to Goro's liquor for years and Billy the owner seemed friendly. Over the years he has seen my son grow from 4-5 to 16. Last time I bought two propane tanks from him, he mentioned he hadn't seen him in awhile. So today BBQ and need propane so I brought my son today so Billy could see how big he's got. Billy talked me into getting my propane tanks and filling them from him, so I did and have for 2-3 years. I am in outside sales and have ways been a friendship and loyalty guy all my life but that ended with Billy today. I always buy 2 tanks from him every time. Last time one was broke. I could not release the valve and the whole valve broke deep inside the threaded portion. I did not want to drive back and I used the second one. I totally forgot it was broke until I grabbed the full tank and put it on mi the after when the first one dissipated. It isn't leaking and is still 100% full but unusable. It's safe, posing no harm other than gas can get older. So immediate attention I though required. I went in today and despite our relationship or the money I have contributed. Billy (the owner) looked at me and said I should have made the extra trip as he can do nothing. I said I have two of them I used the back up. He said maybe he would do something in two to three days not two months. Wrong answer Billy BoB! He said I should eat the cost of it. Wrong answer!! I told him I would give him my propane business but.. NO MORE YOU SOLD ME A BROKEN TANK STORE OWNER!! I asked him to do the right thing and he said no chance. He would rather sell his soul for the almighty dollar than haggle with his vendor which he marks up!! He does not pay square footage rental inside his store for this and every tank is money in his pocket. It's like an ATM that keeps charging fees. Yet he was unwilling to help me. He would rather lose roughly $300-$400 in annual business for $25.00??? I wish you exactly what you put out in the world Billy, a poor future with broken promises. I was pissed and decided I'd rather run into him in a dark alley then buy a .25 piece of gum from a shifty owner. Business lesson: Sadly but fortuitously I called the 7-11 owner near my house told him I bought it from him. He explained to me without receipt, and being two months or so out( same story as Billy) That he would have to take the hit. He said if I wanted to bring in the broken tank he would take the hit and pay for it himself. I then told him the truth. I can't have a store owner I didn't buy it from taking the hit, that's a lie. I wanted the store owner who sold me a broken tank that refused to stand up for his action to take the hit, not 7-11 who it dawned will get my business for now on. The owner of 7-11 has more integrity in his pinky than Billy will ever have. Try character shows when shits in the line. Over $25 changed Billy's face to a money grubbing buy more shiot that shouldn't need to do. ,watch this smile at your face friendly douchebag, while he's stabbing you in the back. Thats just Billy's true character. Goro's liquor is not worth dirtying the soles of my shoes anytime any day. Steal from other locals you thief!! read more

Check these guys out on Drizly! Extremely fast order, great customer service, solid selection. Very friendly, professional staff.

I've been to Goro's a couple times now and it is a great place to get craft beer...specifically bombers now that BevMo has cut WAY back on their stock. The guy there (so sorry, I don't know his name yet) was very helpful both times I went and even carried a box of bombers out to my car for me! Definitely the place to go in Escondido if you're looking for a variety of delicious craft beers. read more

Great craft beer at good prices . Friendly and great customer service When looking to try new craft beer Goro's my place to go read more

As a craft beer fan you're always seeing increasing selections in grocery stores and small liquor stores, but Goro's stands apart. With incredibly friendly customer service (they recognize you even if it's your 2nd time and the last time you came was years ago) and are very friendly. In addition the staff there is really knowledgeable about their products and are chock full of suggestions and reviews. The selection is incredible, and if they have something on the shelf, make sure to ask them if they have it cold, more than likely they do. I love the fact that they go above and beyond by offering to get cold cases out of the back, show you what's new in their stock, and give you a price cheaper than anywhere else I go for craft beer bottles. Goro's has helped me expand my tastes and I will be coming here as long as I live in San Diego read more

Nice guy working. Prices aren't the best, but that's alright. Gave me a free lemon too

Nice to see good reviews on this liquor store with its craft beers. Yes, so many. BUT what I learned today and about a year ago is that WATCH what you are charged. I was over charged, not by much but nevertheless I was over charged. I caught him and confronted him and not only did he try to say that it was because of tax and crv but he got nervous. He ended giving me back what I was over charged. If you multiply that by the customers he gets on a daily basis multiplied per week, per month.., well then the community is be robbed. Some of us don't care but, some of us do. I had to contact the State Board of Equalization along with Cal Recycling. These agencies were not to happy. This liquor store will be in the process of being investigated. Maybe, the owner doesn't do this to their regulars but only with the people that stop by here in there or to the people that they think don't know any better. Regardless it does happen here. 7.75% sales tax with crv along with the cost is all you should pay. That's it, if they want more money then just raise the prices and be honest up front. Don't do this BS on the side. Keep an eye on the register. Billy was his name and he claimed to be the owner. Wow... If he charge you 35 cents over and you went there 100 times, that's $35. That's only for one person. I'm not paying extra for his nice Toyota truck, I have my own car payment. That's more beer money, buffet money, gas, diapers. Get it... I don't know about you but, when I go in a place buzzed or drunk off my butt. I want to trust what this person is charging me. That's just good business. Hopefully this helps. read more
