Shell

Always reasonable prices and an incredibley surprising craft beer selection. Stop in gas up, grab some Lourdes and a few cold craft beers on your way home!

Inside this gas station, you’ll find a better craft beer selection than most bottle shops I’ve been to. They have beer from almost every local brewery, and a very good selection from breweries outside of Southern California.
There is also a Mexican food mini-​restaurant inside the gas station. It smells pretty oily in there, but I’ve heard the food is good.

It’s weird that’s there another Shell gas station about 30 yards always. I haven’t been to the other one but this one has several pumps and just seems bigger. The gas is pretty affordable but if you pay cash it’s cheaper but its still a little expensive because it’s so close to the 15. I went inside to pay and saw tons of craft beer from Stone, Mother Earth and Garage from Temecula and the prices were great. The whole wall was all full of beer to my surprise and I spent about 10 minutes just looking. This is a good spot for gas and a great spot for craft beer.

I come here for the beers… lots of beers! Pretty good selection… maybe the 2^nd best in Escondido?

Phenomenal selection of craft beers and great cheap Mexican food!
Didn’t get gas, car services so can’t speak to that. But they had a very large and diverse selection of craft beers from a wide variety of brewers to include small brewers such as Stumblefoot. We loaded up on a couple varieties of beers for picnic purposes later.
There is also a Lourdes Mexican restaurant inside that had wonderful chicken soup. It was so good we decided to get a couple burritos for later in the day. The Chicken burrito definitely was better than the carnitas burrito. The soup was so good that this place is not on the to do list any time we happen to pass through the area.

I have taken my vehicles here to get washed quite a few times and have usually been pretty satisfied with the quality of work. Took my truck in to get washed today. The greeter was really friendly and helpful. Got my truck washed and loved the quality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my truck this clean before. So I felt pretty good up to this point until the man showing me the truck basically told me «you need to tip the two workers because they took care of your truck» (I thought I was already paying them to take care of my truck). Now these workers really did earn a tip and a half but to tell a customer they need to walk over and tip the employees is in my opinion completely unprofessional and rude. I understand those car wash guys work very hard an do a great job but to put a customer in that awkward position by demanding a tip is wrong. Not everyone has cash on them and after paying that much money for a car wash.(they are very expensive) not everyone can afford to tip. It was a very unexpected thing for me and will make other customers feel very uncomfortable. Which is not good business practice at all. It’s disappointing to have to leave a review like this because they do a really good job but this just didn’t seem right to me. Plus I feel like they are a little on the overpriced side.

Have dealt with this Shell Service Car Wash & gas station since I moved from Wichita, KS and have always had the BEST of service from every way, whether car wash (which they are absolute the BEST), to the fuel, to purchasing anything inside. Service with a smile & they get to know who you are & that brings me back.

Bad customer service.

I usually come by the store here for beer, they have a decent selection. The first time I stopped by I complimented the selection and (the person I assume is the owner) hooked me up with a free car wash. I tend to go here when hwc is closed. Their customer service here is bad other than the owner and a nice girl I’ve seen who works nights. Today I went in to buy a 6 pack of two hearted ale and two employees, two guys with black hair, denied my ID and they sure were jerks about it. Granted the picture is from when I am 15, and so is the signature, but it is a valid ID & I had multiple cards in my wallet and even offered to go get my car registration. Lost a customer for sure, first time my ID has ever been turned away. Will not be back, do not reccomend. I hate writing bad reviews but is one I had to write.

Incredible CRAFT BEER Selection; and decent prices too.

Danny helped me with my car detailed today. What a wonderful experience.
Love going here. $ 50 car detail and your car is brand new again!
I totally Recommend Danny and this place !!

This place is pretty awesome. The gas station is clean and relatively new, the gas prices are fair and the beer selection inside is downright amazing. I often stop here to fill up while grabbing a few of my favorite craft beers.
My favorite hobby is trying new beer and this place always has a bunch of bottles I’ve never even seen before.
Definitely head inside for a peek if you’re a beer fan.

I find it funny that at this intersection here in Escondido there is literally two Shell gas stations. This is the station on the south side, with the car wash. You would never know it from it’s humble, seemingly regular gas station exterior… but inside lurks a fantastic taco shop… and one of the best craft beer, soda and energy drink selections I have ever seen outside of a specialty store! And… the staff is super friendly and craft beer knowledgeable as well!

Seriously, around the corner to my house & right off the 15 exit. This place always seems to be a couple cents cheaper than the Shell across the street. Weird.

I go here to get a car wash and the car wash was a great job. So I decide to take advantage of the discounted price gas since I got a car wash. I used the lever to hold up the gas pump and all of sudden the gas is at 44 bucks to fill up half a gas tank!? Then gas starts squirting at me!!! I would think that the lever would have stopped when my gas tank was full but apparently not. I got gas all over my arms and my car, after getting a CAR WASH!!! I was so mad when i went back inside and I told her what had happened and she didn’t even say sorry for faulty assets. She basically said because I probably put too much. Well, I wouldn’t have put too much gas if the lever would’ve let me know my gas tank was full so I basically paid for a full gas tank as if it was empty. Horrible service.

Admittedly, I don’t go inside much, but I come here for gas almost exclusively… lot of pumps (including diesel), very fair fuel prices, and its generally pretty clean. Inside, they have a pretty good selection of food and drinks, and having Lourdes Mexican Food there is nice as well.
Only bad things I’ve experienced are that the staff inside can occasionally be rude, and they don’t always fill the water/​soap containers where the squeegees for cleaning your window are.

Typical Shell Gas Station. Nice selection of snacks and beverages to choose from. Bathrooms are decent. Great combo with El Norte Car Wash where you can get a $ 0.15 discount on gas with a purchase of a car wash. That’s usually the only time I get gas from this location. Unfortunately, you have to go in and out and have to do 2 transactions to take advantage of the discount (pay for car wash, pickup car, go back in and give credit card for fuel, then when done, go back inside and they take the discount off). For a 25 gallon fill-​up, the discount is (let’s see, carry the 2, then take 4, and sneeze), that would be $ 3.75. Then maybe you can use the savings for lunch: for the best Chicken Soup in Escondido, Lourdes #2 is inside the Food Mart. Awesome!!!

I don’t really buy my gas at this station because after they changed to a shell station a couple years ago the prices went up. I do, however, buy something to drink here almost every day. I’ve come to know most of the staff and they are great, the prices are pretty good for a gas station store, and the place is always clean.
The nice thing is that if you get hungrier than just a bag of chips, there is a Lordes right inside the shop.

It has a taco shop inside it. How cool is that?

This is likely the cheapest, most convenient gas station you’ll find on this stretch of the I-​15. I always stop here to top off when when heading out of San Diego on long road trips (e.g. Las Vegas, Big Bear, Mammoth), and again to fill up when coming home. Don’t mistake it for the first Shell station you see when getting off of the freeway. That one is always several cents more expensive. I don’t understand how that one stays in business.
This Shell always have their windshield wiper «thingies» filled, and the squeegees are in good shape. They fill them with window cleaner instead of just water. I can’t vouch for the convenience store or the service (I’m a pay at the pump kind of guy), but that’s not why I go to gas stations. I go for gas.
