La Paz Liquor is supposed to be a lucky retailer for lottery, as you walk in, you can see that they are very serious about Lotto. There are tons of automatic machines as well as scratchers, old winners, tables to fill out cards, screens to watch drawings, etc. Beyond the Lotto obviously, this is a Standard Liquor store that has all kinds of drinks, adult beverages, as well as sodas, waters and other snacks if you are so inclined. If you are a lotto player, it may not hurt to try this liquor store out and see if it turns your luck. If not, maybe next time. Enjoy! read more

Be careful with your lottery tickets my dad took in a scratcher in which he won $100 and 2 others to get checked and the Hispanic female clerk told him he hadn't won anything. She then gave him back the other 2 and kept the one with the $100 and when he went back to ask for it to have it checked somewhere else she claimed she had tossed it in the trash. Very shady be careful. read more

Saw it on a Rockford Episode, (Gear Jammers) had to check it out.Still looks the same except for the lotto machines. Piece of Americana

Friendly service and great selection of beer! Parking is easy. There's also a few spots in the back if you can't find street parking.

Adult candy store specializing in lottery tickets and assortments of different types of adult beverages. If your an adult and like to play with scratchers then this will be a fantastic find for you. Parking sucks. Service hours are not ideal because they close at 7:00pm and service is not the friendliest. Buuuut... those tickets. Supposedly they are home to many winning tickets. But my eyes almost exploded when I saw all the stand alone machines to purchase scratchers and weekly lotto/power ball/super lotto tickets. Behind the counter even more tickets. Every type of ticket you could hope for. Wowzers. Drinks come in all sizes. All types and all flavors. I just wish I had more time to explore but the guy was closing. read more

Lots of Lotto fun. New owners and friendly staff. They appear to be remolding and so far looks nice.

Only 3 stars due to the lotto selection and amount of machines. The Lady who is always behind the counter is rude as hell.. You can speak to her she doesn't speak back! she doesn't hand you anything she will drop it on the counter. Being friendly can go a long way especially if you are a lucky retailer ( Which is the only reason they are still in business ). read more

Horrible and embarrassing experience today at this location. My wife, 2 children and myself walked in around 3pm and were absolutely parched and needed some Gatorade, Approximately 1 minute into looking for our drinks, an Asian lady behind the counter, steps out from cashiering to approach us and tell us to "Close the cooler doors" I responded "We're still shopping" she muttered close the door, so I decided to leave and on the way out I stopped and informed her "You're very rude! My family and I were still choosing drinks! This is horrible customer service! She muttered back and we left. This lady has no tact in dealing with customers, it's disgusting to see store cashiers think they can speak to customers that way. Will never go back, hope management sees this and chastises her for her poor behavior . I also believe we were profiled because of our ethnicity. read more

The cashier there was some skinny asian lady and she was so rude. I purchased some snacks and drinks. Then asked to purchase a super lotto ticket, she just said "huh?" Then just stared at me lol so I repeated may I get 6 dollars worth of super lotto, she replies it's $1 a line and I said yes 6 dollars please. Smh...never again am I going here. Also the snacks I bought were expired to top it off and found out once I got home. read more

I get that this place is famous. The owners are probably rich off lottery winnings but courtesy is worth more than any dollar amount. Went in Tuesday night around 6pm and had the nerve to ask a question abt lottery tickets. Believe it or not, I've never bought lottery tickets. It was not busy. Only one person behind me. Rather than help me by answering a single question, man behind counter rushed me out. Saying "Are you going to buy? Or leave!!" WOW! Whatever happened to customer service? I can get tickets many other places, and will! Plus, there were a couple guys back behind the store sitting on a chairs, just hanging out smoking. So I guess having sketchy guys hanging out back is ok, just don't ask a simple question! read more

The current owners of this business have ZERO PERSONALITY. Totally rude and boring. They are not only rude, but are not helpful in locating items in their store. There are many other small businesses that deserve our business. Go elsewhere if you want better service! read more

This place sucks! If they had zero star option that would be my rate for this place! Both owners are rude and including their son! I went in to buy lottery tickets and to exchange some of my winning tickets, first Christine said you should have given me all the tickets to claim and I responded it was not mine so I'd rather do 2 transactions. So when it was time for my tickets to claim she said I had to wait since she had a line. When all of them were done she told me there's no money in the cashier. She hasn't even checked my tickets as to how much. She already said no money! She should have told me that to begin with so I didn't have to wait after 5 transactions!!!! Don't ever come here! read more

Owner is so rude! Went in for lotto tickets and I was totally ignored! I was very polite and tried to be friendly with her and she continued to ignore me. I had a winning lotto (not much but a winner) and she threw my money at me. I guess their rudeness is paying off for now as they are a lucky spot for lotto but KARMA will eventually come out to bite them in the rear. read more

I'm always a little intimidated walking up to cashiers at liquor stores. Or even entering liquor stores at all. Usually they're manned by the gruffer, frownier "buy yer shit 'n git the hell out" types. But not here. The good vibes almost take you aback a bit. They're friendly in a small town shop kind of way. Welcoming without fake sappiness. Efficient without being curt. Wait...am I sure I'm in a liquor store? Yup it's all around me, holy tequila! And is that Cali Creamin I see? Only my favorite obscure beer ever? Oh yes it is, sir. I do wish they had price markings up for everything, as there was an entire section of liquor where you just kinda have to hope for the best and buy it. But not a huge deal. I'm a fan and I'll be back for sure! read more

La Paz Liquor - So delicious! I know a creamy beer sounds odd, but give it a try! Great if you love non-bitter beers like Blue Moon. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Burbank, California

I want to start by saying that I never complain about anything, ever. If you want to hear some crazy sh*t, keep reading. I walked to La Paz to buy a bottle of champagne and oj on a Sunday with my son. The oj looked a little dark when I bought it, but I am colorblind and thought nothing of it. Paid with cash and continued our walk around the neighborhood. When I got home, my wife opened the OJ- it was brownish and smelled rotten. I told her it was probably the plastic container causing the coloration to be different. We poured it into a glass, and both gagged. It gets better. Then, when we opened the foil on the champagne bottle, there was mold growing on it, particularly between the cork and the glass stem. Nothing like a little mold in your glass as you pour it. Ugh. I returned to the store with both items and showed them to the woman working there. Being that I live so close and we pass it on walks, I come here probably once a week with my son to buy ice cream, a drink, or even lotto tickets sometimes too. She knows me. I showed her the OJ that I purchased less than an hour prior, and she denied that it was putrid because the date of expiration was in October, a month away. I asked her to smell or taste it, and she refused. Then, she began to argue with me. All I wanted was to exchange it for a bottle of juice that wasn't rotten. After several minutes of back-and-forth discussion, she motioned for me to get another bottle, and I opened it in front of her. It was also rotten! I honestly don't think it was their fault, but regardless, the juice was rancid. She got mad at me for opening it in the store and asked me why I did that. I said that I didn't want to go home and find out later...? She was very mad, tightened the lid AND PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF IN THE FRIDGE! She explained that the whole shipment was like that, and I was the only one with an issue. I explained to her that it isn't her fault but that the product was unhealthy and shouldn't be sold. I even suggested she should talk to the distributor about it. There was a bit of a language barrier, but she reluctantly gave me the $4 back that I paid for it. Then came the issue with the moldy champagne. Oh boy. She repeated over and over, no exchange for cigarettes or alcohol. I understood the policy as people can easily take advantage of returns and such. Again, I assured her that it wasn't her fault for causing the mold, just that it existed and I wanted a different bottle. She wiped off the mold and said, "No mold!" This is where I got frustrated because she would not exchange the bottle. I stood quietly and patiently in the store, waiting for her to check out the other customers who agreed with me and looked on with confusion as to why this was all happening. It was a bottle of Barefoot, 10$. Just switch it out! Again, "no exchanges on alcohol or cigarettes" was my only answer. She expected me to take the answer and leave because of her rude approach; however, I just wasn't having it. I stood patiently and asked if the store's owner was available by contact. She said, "No owner." HAHA. Nobody owns this place? Interesting. I waited patiently for her to change her mind as she made several phone calls. Eventually, she walked me to the fridge and, like a recalcitrant child, told me to choose another bottle. I grabbed another bottle and left feeling disheartened. The whole thing was really disappointing, especially considering I come to this place frequently, and when I made the initial purchase today, she asked me about my son. It is so strange, but the folks in line encouraged me to write a review, and here it is. Be careful of your purchases here. Good luck! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I NEVER complain but this is on the principal of how things took place. I was in this liquor store yesterday 8/24/23 to buy 5 separate CA Powerball tickets. I also bought some scratchers and an ice tea. The VERY RUDE Asian lady at the register charged me for everything and I paid. I walked away from the register then looking through my change, I noticed that she hadn't given me the Powerball tickets, only gave me the large scratcher tickets. I asked her where my Powerball tickets were and she said in broken English "I don't know, I don't touch the tickets. I charge you 5 times, you pay but I don't touch tickets". I said I've never bought lottery tickets where the person selling them doesn't hand you the tickets and would have no way of knowing that I would need to pick them up off the machine that is by the register. I don't make it a point to reach over by any register in a store, especially not a liquor store. She said someone else must have taken the tickets and that she didn't touch them. I asked her to either refund me my money since the mistake was hers or print out 5 more tickets. She said no. We went back and forth for a long time. I asked her do you agree that you charged me for the tickets. She said yes but I don't touch tickets. I said are you going to give me my money back, she rudely said no. Then asked are you going to give me tickets, she again rudely said no. I asked her (she is the owner BTW) to play back the HUGE surveillance video cameras they have recording the register/counter so we can see what happened and she refused. I said I'm going to end up having to report you the state lottery commission. She said OK go ahead. She did not care whatsoever that she took my money and didn't provide me with tickets. DO NOT BUY LOTTERY TICKETS HERE or if you do because of them being a "lucky retailer", make sure you have been given everything you've paid for. They do not tell you that you need to grab your tickets off the machine and they don't care whatsoever about customer service. They shouldn't be allowed to sell lotto tickets if they're going to be that complacent about the sale of them. What an absolutely horrible experience. read more

I literally just put a $5 bill in one of their lotto machines and it ate my $5 without giving me my scratcher. I told the older man who was working and he was completely rude and didn't believe me, wouldn't give me my money or my scratcher. VERY RUDE PEOPLE read more

Very rude older man and woman behind the counter. Only nice to big money spenders. She slammed the counter to tell me to leave the money on it. I always say hello, thank you and have a nice day. Never a response! The older man is worse! The young man is very nice and polite. Hope they sell the place soon to nice owners. read more

Love it here. Everything is well-priced considering the location. I won a few $$ on lotto nothing life altering. Nice folks there. I always feel welcome and safe there. read more

My first time walking in there. I was looking for Plum Wine and the woman behind the counter would not even help me. I asked where it was and she said over there. I asked which side of the aisle and she would t answer. I asked if she could come and show me and she said no. I told her it was my first time there trying to give business to my neighborhood store but never again will I go there. I've never encountered there'd this kind of rudeness. read more

helpful easygoing staff, friendly who happen to offer alot of ca lottery machines/lucky scratchers and big winners

Poor customer service by a kid or son who is behind the counter. Never said, "Hello". When we asked for a receipt, he threw it on the counter. He needs to learn some manners. read more

My favorite place to play Lotto. The Asians who own it are REALLY sweet people. No one has ever been rude. They have great liquor prices as well. I literally come here just for Lotto as its a "Lucky Retailer" and I get great customer service. read more

I cant believe I am writing a review for a liquor store. But its LA PAZ, my office is 10 meters away.. I must say something nice because the owners are the best people EVER. They are open 7 days a week and often times I wonder who's the bigger work-a-holic, me or them? Regardless, its a nice place and they always have snacks for me. I was laughing when I saw La Paz being used in Paulie Shore's movie and believe it or not, this place is filmed pretty often. I love LA PAZ!@!!!! read more

At La Paz they understand the importance of customer loyalty. The owners, a husband and wife team, are super nice, the wife especially. She will often give me a lotto ticket on the house (10 million dollar winner sold here) or a complimentary bag of M&Ms. (Got to keep those stocked in the house so as Missus Paradise's stash doesn't get low) They have a good selection of wines, beers and whatever liquor your little boozy heart desires, but like I said, the owners are what make this place special. Stop in and say hello for me. read more

La Paz Liquor is much like the many other area liquor stores. It has fairly priced merchandise. The older Korean gentleman who is always behind the counter is not the friendliest but that is totally fine, considering I usually am in a hurry and can not chat anyway. Parking lot in the back, that I never use, is large and easy enough to navigate without problem. I walk here from the house all the time, which is part of the reason I come in here. Oh that and the pure fact that they have some of the greatest selection of gift packs. Whenever I receive an invite to a bash I stop in here for a little gift before hand. I like the fact that I can pick up a bottle pack complete with glasses, it makes gifting really easy. Everyone likes booze right? read more

I love La Paz Liquor Store!! You will to. The lady is so so nice and they really do carry everything you would need from a liquor store. Just watch the husband, he is mean and looks to be constipated and this causes him to be a grouchy old fart. Just do not pay attention, the wife is worth every second. Best beef jerky ever. read more

They took my previous review down. Not sure why, but I lived in Burbank for over 20 years and came here a few times because it was close. Every time I was met with disdain and rudeness. They couldn't have been more rude to me. Not sure why. I was local. I was just looking to buy beer and lotto tickets. I hated how mean they were. I wouldn't go back. I'm not sure why that warrants Yelp taking down my post over 4 years later, but I felt the need to put something back up regardless. read more

Nice people. This place has a reputation for selling winning lottery tickets, but I don't win and I only blame myself.

If I'm going on a beer run, and believe me, I WILL need to, then this is the place I choose whenever I'm in the LA area. Perfect selection, even if you're just shopping for Miller. Love it. Good staff. Nice access. No questions asked, even if you turn up stinking of ganja with eyes as red as the devil's dick trying to buy four cases. Love you people. Bravo. read more

Seriously the nicest lady ever works here. I love this place, they have a little bit of everything, and a nice selection of booze.

This place is walking distance from my house and I couldn't be happier about that. The place has everything and the owners are the sweetest people EVER! read more

If you play the Lotto this store is a must! I think they sell the highest # of winners in the valley. Plus they have a fair selection of wines. read more

Wow! I was not warned about how rude both man and woman really are here. I see they have a lot of big winners. Look above the alcohol behind the cash counter the owner proudly displays all of the lotto winners. I wonder if those winners could possibly enjoy a nickel of any of that money after the kcrappy service from these guys. I have been here twice and the first time the old man was rude. He got upset if I asked 1 simple question. Then he told me they were closed and it was only 8:30pm. So then I immediately left unhappy. The second time there was an old woman there and she looked at me as if I did something really bad. I asked her a question and she began to yell at me. I had to asks her twice for a quick pick. I hope that I didn't pick a winning ticket there. She ruined my day. Very unhappy with that. Certainly won't be returning there ever again. There are other lucky liquors very near by. All with happy lucky lotto winners. I would rather be a happy rich lotto winner. I could mot see me being that thirsty to believe im going to be the slightest bit happy with a narrow dime of money if it came from that type of treatment. Sad but true I will not ever return to La Paz Liquor Store ever ever ever never again ! read more

The family that's running the liquor store are very friendly and I believe it's under new management. I'm come here to buy lotto tickets after seeing them on channel 4. read more

Going east from the metro station station in Noho this is the best liquor station until you hit downtown Burbank. Only Handy Mart has a better beer selection. read more
