“I really appreciate this local store and the employees have been incredibly kind each time I visit. They have a fabulous chef (or 2, one was a woman) who whipped up some excellent tacos and breakfast sandwiches. I’m sure they do much more than just those two well though. One time I ordered pain eggs to be scrambled and they were kind enough to do it while charging me a more than fair amount. Just keep an eye out when you’re backing out because the pumps aren’t too far from the parking spaces. They are far enough for most people to know better, but I’ve seen the contrary. Thank you guys for being reliable, kind, and providing a great assortment of gas station goodies. Can’t wait to check out more kinds of food.”

“My quick stop after work for gas is always a great experience. The prices are consistently competitive, and the pumps are very clean along with the entire outside area. I also feel safe pumping gas here at night, which is a big plus. It does tend to get busy after 5pm as people from the nearby hospital get out of work, but even then it’s still a reliable and convenient place to fuel up.”

I love it.”

“Clean & friendly service. However, it so busy at times, you'll have to go inside store to get you receipt since they tend to run out of printing paper. No problem, if your not in a hurry to get to work. They always greet you with a smile. That always lifts my Spirit. I always response with "thank you so much & have a great day" It's always nice to share some kindness & appreciation.Love their updated modern drive through car wash. Now they can also accept credit cards or debit cards on their car wash machine, very convenient. Nice shine on my car at a great price.Great News! "No Tipping!Now that's a nice savings.Make it a Great Day!”

“If you’re in Bakersfield and haven’t checked out Verdugo Market, you’re seriously missing out! Their beer section is ice cold ? 5 Stars?—perfect for grabbing a few to chill with after work or stock up for the weekend. The liquor selection is one of the most impressive I’ve seen, with everything from top-shelf whiskeys to hard-to-find tequilas.The staff here is always cool, and genuinely fun to talk to, which makes quick stops feel like friendly visits. And the best part.. if you must ask They carry Howies Michelada Mixes another 5 Stars ?—and at a great price, too! Normally, I’d have to wait for a farmer’s market or order online just to get my hands on it, but Verdugo keeps it stocked and convenient every time.This place really sets the bar for what a neighborhood market should be. Coldest beer and Howies Micheladas!! Five stars because I cant give them 10!!”

“I stopped by the gas station and picked up these cookies made by BOWLIN’S BAKERY and I have to say they were absolutely delicious! They were like no other cookies out there in the market. One thousand times better than a CRUMBLE COOKIE!! If you happen to stop in grab yourself a couple. They have great flavors . My favorite’s are the snickerdoodle and the chocolate chip with caramel and also the Dubai cookie. They will not disappoint.”

The young guy that works the counter is the best. He is fast and so funny. He treats everyone like family. His dad does too. I don't care what you are looking for they have it in the store. You can find any liquor (top shelf to cheap, they got ya) and they even have some cold for you too. The store is always clean and the atmosphere is on point.

“Super-easy in-and-out driveways. Don't laugh -- that alone is enough to rank five stars. But this one actually had working card readers, too! Can't say much about the prices except they're way cheaper than any in Tehachapi -- so if you're heading east on 58, you might want to gas up in Bako first.”
