Arco

1. Parking lot is parking lot is tight.
2. Dirty gas for 7 – 15 cent cheaper. Barf
3. No CC and debit surcharge high.
4. Customer service like she missing her Saturday morning cartoon smh

The cashier Leonia at AM/​PM rang me up and my total came to 3.71. I handed her 4.00. She gave me back a quarter. I told her she shorted me 4 cents. She looked at me with a tilted head and said «what do you want me to do?»
I told her if you don’t have pennies give me a nickel.
She replied are you serious?! It’s four cents.
I told her yes, it’s four cents. It’s my four cents and you shorted me my change you don’t need to be rude and make this out to be my fault. It would be different if you said I don’t have pennies and asked if it was ok if you just gave me a quarter.
She looked at me with a blank stare and I asked «Are you going to open the drawer and give me my change?»
She mumbled something opened the drawer and gave me four pennies.
I told her seriously, you’re acting like this because you shorted me money? Regardless of how much it was its my money. You wouldn’t like it if you came into my place of business and I shorted you cash and gave you attitude when you asked for your money. It’s not the four cents it’s the principle and for you to be rude about me asking for my money back is unacceptable.

The price is right! $ 2.99/gallon? Sounds good to me! I come here after shopping at Pancho Villa, the Mexican grocery store across the street. :-)

It’s an ARCO, what else do you need or want to know.
None of them take credit cards and they surcharge for debit cards.
Simple solution: buy a gift card at the supermarket.

EASILY the worst, shittiest, most ghetto and life-​threatening gas station in san diego county. If there was a way to give negative 5 stars i would give it 6 negatives. Theres a resident transient kid who BITCHES AT YOU for not giving him $. Everything is dilapidated. Such a piece of shit.

Don’t go here they rip you off

I would avoid using the auto-​pay stations, instead pay the cashier directly.
I put in $ 30, only received $ 10 in gas. They didn’t believe me, had a big argument, and they were like «call the manager tomorrow».
Had to call 3 times, wait multiple days, and finally got the green light to get my $ 20. Had to drive back to the place, no apologies, nothing. Huge waste of time. Will never use again.

Love hate with this Arco.
1. I pay with cash to make sure that I don’t have to pay the convenience fee. Hello? Running on ¼ tank? I’d rather not procrastinate and be surprised.
2. It’s cheap. It’s one of the cheapest Arcos in town.
3. What I hate: F***ing stupid drivers. Cutting people off, cutting in line, or blocking of the lanes. Yeah yeah I know. First World Problems. Sometimes the other customers are sketchy. I don’t particularly enjoy getting hollered at and hit on when doing my routine gas fill-​up.
But I keep coming back. …

Arco Pros and cons.
Pros.-cheap gas, easily locatable, some have alcohol, good food selction
Cons-​cash or debit only (45 cent fee for debit) because cheap sometimes you need to wait to get gas.
This was just a quick stop for me didnt check for bathrooms or nuthin but was happy it was here. I have an arco card so the credit card thing does not bother me 1 bit. save money money!

What’s up with not taking credit cards and then charging .35 cents to use the debit card? I guess we are all paying off BPs oil spill bill…2 stars for free air.

Really??? Are you being serious? You don’t take CC? You’re a gas station.

I always go to this particular gas station to fill up my tank and am a loyal customer.
But why 4 stars? Well let me tell you!
1. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP gas. This Arco always will have the lowest gas prices!
2. Every time I go, morning, afternoon, evening, sunrise, sunset, this place is always so damn crowded and I have to wait like 5 minutes or tetris my way around. It is like a video game. 20 points if you hit the hummer, bonus points for backing up into the lane.
3. The people who work there are Mexican and creepy. Now, I am not saying that Mexican people are creepy just these Mexicans who work here are. But it makes the gas experience more interesting and spicy I think.
4. What is up with this convenience fee of $.45 cents. If you don’t pay with cash, your fucked and have to pay this bogus convenience fee. So make sure you ALWAYS PAY WITH CASH, and your golden. If you pay with your debt/​credit card, it is pointless to even come here because you end up paying extra. NO BUENO.
So if you are in the area, make sure to fill up here before you bounce on out!

I have only used Arco twice and that is because I let my gas tank run down so far, that I was pretty much coasting into the station on fumes. Otherwise I refuse to use them solely for the fact of their forcing you to use their debit machine which tacks on a service fee. Gee thanks, can I possibly pay more for that honor? I’m sure you’ll find a way soon enough.
I didn’t find their gas to be cheap at all, in fact they were on par with the really expensive Shell station by my house that is over priced because it is right off of a highway.

Arco’s don’t take credit cards, forcing you to pay cash or use debit, on which they will tack on a fee for the latter. Add to that the fee my bank will charge me and you get a big ol’ middle finger from me.

This Arco is a clusterf*ck. Its always packed. Every time I go here I run into gangbangers, 9 – 5′ ers, lawn mower guys, business types, hookers and little kids.
I know that Arco tends to be cheaper than most but for some reason this one is always crazy congested.
