ARCO

Closed. Every time I try to come to this place. Not even exaggerating; the last 6 tines. I should have learned by now. Its always the temporary closed sign posted while the dude sits inside doing paperwork, mopping, using the restroom, or screwing around on the phone. There seriously has to be a better way.

Best price on gas in the area but ever since they created direction arrows, it’s been way too crowded. Don’t come here unless you’re ready to spend a good 10 – 15 mins getting gas and dealing with a bunch of other drivers.

I give this place 3 stars the location is great and gas prices are the cheapest in town. Just always busy. The cashier who rang me and my items up was very friendly her name is Theresa. She was the only one working and got everyone in and out. I give her 5 stars. You go girl!

This is totally weird. This gas station does not take credit cards. Not even inside the shop.

First things first. The gas here is always cheap. If you compare prices with all the other gas stations, you’ll see that you’ll at least be saving 5−15+ cents per gallon. You can’t complain about that.
It’s located right off of University and College. There are 8 pumps and it’s always busy so you might find it hard to get to a pump sometimes. So if you’re in a rush, maybe this place isn’t the right place for you. If not, just wait around.
They have window cleaners, and they have soap too. Not just water to clean with.
The inside is kinda small, but there aren’t any public restrooms.
It’s a little ghetto, you’ll see bums, and you’ll see rude drivers but overall it’s a good Gas Station and I’ll keep coming as long as I’m in the area.

The cashier was such a sweet lady but the gas station itself is in such an awkward busy area and I probably won’t be going back. There was a total traffic jam in the actual gas pumping area. It’s a total clusterf**k.

This place is always busy.

Always cheap gas, but remember the price on the sign is the cash price. Huge slushies inside as well, and buy 4 get the 5^th free!

I come to this location often because its near SDSU and it has some of the best prices in the area.
To me the whole area surrounding SDSU is sketchy as hell so I’m not going to complain about that in this review. I’ve never had a bad experience or bums coming up to me for money and I’ve been coming here for years now. You do get looks if you appear to be uncomfortable but as long as you mind your own business you’ll be fine. I’ve pumped gas here in the morning, afternoon, and even evening and never have I had a problem.
As long as you mind your own business and use hand sanitizer after you pump gas then you shouldn’t have a problem with this location. It’s honestly not THAT bad.

horrible location

I buy gas here and the price is usually the best around, although like every Arco, it’s cash or debit card only.

I use to come here until I started accumulating weird experiences since it’s located in a pretty ghetto area.
1. A bum was walking around asking for gas money. He doesn’t even have a car.
2. A random person was trying to bum money off of the other customers for gas.
3. Another random person was walking around with an empty carton while trying to bum some money for gas. But I can see their car parked across the street and one of their friends were buying Taco Bell. WHY NOT ASK HIM FOR THE MONEY?!
4. There’s ALWAYS at least one cop car here to arrest someone? investigate something suspicious? I don’t know. One time I saw 5 Popos parked here.
5. And then there are the general bums who bug you for money so they can by a jumbo jack or whatever.
I think all these are red flags that this location just isn’t safe and I’m not going to risk any more of my time here and go to the Chevron in Del Cerro. It also makes me wonder about the sanitation level of the gas pumps. «Am I gonna get an STD or AIDS from these pumps?! They’re gross!»
