Broadway Arco

It’s a great place with great prices, staff always helpful, and store always clean

Cheap gas with bums and tweakers panhandling out front, con-​artists begging for gas money with kids and pregnant girlfriend in tow at the pump and let’s not forget the resident drunk that’s passed out by the air/​water machine.
The Lotto Scratcher selection typically stinks and no, you are not going to win buying tickets here. The only folks who may win are the tweakers and that one creepy tranny-​brujo with the bad wig and beady eyes who holds up the line checking for winnings and taking their time picking out their next set of numbers or scratchers.
There’s a semi-​crappy selection of beer and candy but man-​o-​man is the soda/​coffee/​cheap, questionable hot food selection GOOD!
In case you really needed to do some banking but wanted the element of surprise added — there’s a Chase ATM located right near the front door.
Drive a mile further east and hit the brand new AM/​PM for an equally seedy experience but with a better selection of beer, candy and snacks, new pumps and a RESTROOM!

Open ²⁴⁄₇ and usually the cheapest gas in the whole area code. It’s not the greatest location… I mean there’s usually a homeless person hanging around, and it’s smack in the middle of Santa Ana… so you might not want to come here after dark, but during the day it’s the place to get gas if you wanna save a few cents… or .10 per gallon. There’s also an AMPM and what looks like a small upstairs apartment attached at the back.
