Texas Food & Liquor

Besides now being most well known as the liquor store that hosts the parking lot that Kiko’s Place parks in, this place is actually a pretty good destination of its own.
They’ve got a very nice selection of local craft beers at competitive prices. I’ve found many of my favorites here including Hangar 24 Orange Wheat and Belching Beaver’s Peanut Butter Stout. The staff is always friendly and provides prompt service.
The fact that Kiko’s is in their parking lot doesn’t hurt either — because Tacos + Beer are a match made in heaven. Hello!
I’m a fan.

This liquor store saves the day evey time my roomates and I have a craving for something sweet or salty or drinks which is pretty much all the time. I noticed their wine selection has improved a lot. This is a great place to stop and get a gift last minute for a party. The workers aren’t super friendly but nice enough. You can get coffee from a coffee pot that not too many people might know about (this ain’t no 7 – 11), slurpees, ice-​cream and a lot of Mexican stuff like chips and sodas which is my favorite part. Stuff is expensive but I don’t mind paying for the convenience of not having to go to the store. I’ll give it 5 stars when I win the lottery with one of the tickets I buy there.

Having now lived in this neighborhood for a few years, I have learned what a gem this place is. I am here at least several times a week to pick up booze, smokes, snacks… whatever! The guys remember me and my usual orders, and they’re definitely a bunch of wisecrackers over there!
Whenever I’m in a pinch and need something (soda, lightbulbs, butter) with the quickness… Texas Market provides.

This is my liquor store. I walk in nearly every other day. I think I’ve killed their entire overstock of Maker’s Marks with ornaments from last Christmas because they’re always on sale for $ 20.
The guys who work there are all quite chill and friendly. They carry a great selection of beer and a great selection of liquor. There’s cigarettes, rolling papers, and what have you for all your needs. There’s other things too like paper towel rolls to clean up your drunk messes. You can also get cash back with your debit card. They guy shrugs when you ask how much you can get back. They’re also very free with giving out quarters for laundry.
There’s sometimes a homeless guy with a guitar outside too, playing the same chugging Sonic Youth type riff that he says is 27 minutes long. He introduces himself as David Coverdale, the lead singer of Whitesnake.
I’ve seen a tranny hooker running past this place really late at night, so it’s got that going for it too.

Convenient and friendly. What else do u need?

I don’t see why Texas market has such high ratings when most people I know dislike this place. Yes the market itself is nice, and the prices are average, but the people who work there aren’t very friendly. Every liquor store I have lived by likes to make friends with their neighbors/​regulars to get more business from them and their friends. Texas does pretty much the opposite. They don’t really acknowledge your presence, accused my 23 year old roommate of using a fake ID, and just look like they don’t want you in their store. And they close super early. I like pacific on Madison better. The people are polite and helpful, they have a good selection, and they stay open an hour later.

…bout to head to the texas right now. cheapest water re-​fill station in SD outside and some cool heads inside. Been comin here since i moved to SD, nothing but respect for em, and the guy that lives under the tree is cool too! id give 5 stars, but why is the arizona 99cent green tea can $ 1.17? CRV is only a nickel, add that to .99 andya get $ 1.04…no big thing, just would rather pay 1.05 for it then go to corporate 7 – 11, where it is only 1.04…you may be thinkin damn, he’s buggin on 13 cents… whenya drink as many arizona 99 cent cans as i do, shit adds up… fair price cigs though… and yea, the gold painted ice box truly is «flossin»!

Oh my, Texas Market is the SPOT!
They have a great selection no matter your price range. For example, I can stock up on MY personal favorites like Andre and Barefoot for under $ 5 a pop while customers with more cash on hand can indulge in pricier beverages like Crystal Head Vodka or Patron… Speaking of Patron– they are offering four smaller bottles for something ridiculous like $ 60… that’s like getting a free bottle of Patron!!!
The people there are extra-​friendly– quick with a joke and to light up your smoke and point you in the direction of the always fresh hot coffee… I still want to try one of their sour apple slurpees!!!
Recently, the trash can lids and the ice machine have been painted a flashy-​ass gold and I am most definitely a fan. Straight flossin’!

damn!!! how can i be the first one to give this awesome spot 5 stars??? i just think Texas Street Liquor or Texas Market whatever u want to call it is the best liquor store in the hood fo sho.
i’ve never encountered old products at the store, but i have encountered old style customer service… you know the kind where the clerks know your name and what your about. genuinely excellent service.
they also have an excellent liquor, wine and beer selection. rivals many larger stores.
finally. as a supreme local of the hood i’d like to defend my boys at the store. whoever made the comment about the guy talking to himself outside in arabic and said there was no blue tooth either needs to get their eyes or ears checked because most likely there was a bluetooth and if u swear u heard talking to himself u might be thinking of robert the vietnam vet who lives under the tree in the parking lot who also frequents mc donalds up the street for their delicious dollar menu and is also the director of recycling for the store. also about the trailer… it’s not there anymore. but fuck your petty comment anyways.

As a liquor store aficionado, I definitely think this place deserves 5 stars. What’s not to love?
For starters, parking is never a problem. One thing that bugs me is having trouble parking at a «convenient» store… nothing is more irritating than searching for a spot when all you wanna do is run in and grab a pack of Buegler or a pint of Sailor’s Jerry.
2^nd, the selection of goods. Can you believe that this place has cricket, every kind of chip imaginable, slushy machine, hard to find gourmet beers and alcohol, produce, toiletries, munchies, collector magazines, really cool sunglasses, pedialyte, writing pen that connects to your keychain, stuffed animals… I mean everything!!!
3^rd, excellent customer service. The guy always remembers my name and is professional and savvy. He always gives me the right amount of change and never bothers me when I purchase my «personal items» The smiles on the faces of the employees are contagious.
Finally, its mostly the atmosphere. Whenever I come by, I’m always sure to see other regulars hangin out and get to catch up on neighborhood gossip. Even when I’m in a bad mood and not in stop in chat mode, they still imagine to crack a smile out of me.
Guess this place is pretty hard to beat! Thanks Texas St. Liquor for making my day, you guys truly deserve 5!

They know me here. Always nice to me and happy to see me. I come here often for quarters to do laundry. Some places like 711 treat quarters like gold! They won’t give em up! Not the case here! (But don’t start taking my quarters! lol)
So they have a great sense of humor because he was on the phone speaking Arabic and I started to make fun. durka durka… He laughed! I love thses guys… Only thing is check expiration dates… some things I have gotten were expired so I took it right back and exchanged it… hassel free.

This place is awesome… They have anything you need and then some. Great prices when it comes to buying smokes. Like Ruggy said they got Mexican Coke which is sooo cool because I love Coca-​Cola but Mexican Coke is better. They have all the booze you can ask for and with comparable prices to most major grocery stores. Another favorite is the selection of ice cream that they carry. Mango and Dulce De Leche Haagen Dazs or Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter, Cinnamon Buns, and Americone Dream. Just typing about it now in this review makes me want to go over and pick up a pint right now but they are already closed — damn…
All they guys that work here are super cool and if your a local they get to know you really quick. Don’t judge this place by it’s looks — it’s all good in the hood.

They have Mexican Coca Cola!!! If you know how good that stuff is, you’re stoked. I haven’t seen too many liquor stores carrying the black gold… but I’m pretty darn excited that I can walk 1 block for my new obsession!
American Coke – high fructose corn syrup
Mexican Coke – real cane sugar
You can totally taste the difference.
