Tucked away in a corner of Coronado is a hidden gem serving some of the best deli sandwiches! 🥪✨

Park Place Liquor & Deli is a family-owned business that has proudly served the Coronado community for 20 years. They offer a wide selection of liquor, award-winning deli sandwiches, and that friendly, neighborhood service we all love ❤️

And it’s not just sandwiches! They also have tons of unique snacks and goodies to try. They can get pretty busy with long lines (I recommend calling in advance to order), which just goes to show how good this place is! 🙌🏼

What I ordered:
➳ Chicken Diablo — $13.59 ($10 for their 20th anniversary)
➳ The Big Kahuna — $16.99
➳ California Sandwich — $12.59

📍 1000 Park Pl Coronado, CA 92118
