Valero is a convenient stop in a remote area, offering essential services for travelers. The station features a grassy area where dogs can comfortably pee, which is rare in desert regions and appreciated by pet owners. The gas prices are reasonable, especially when compared to other stations nearby, and can save money if filling up before crossing the border or heading further into the desert. Staff members are friendly and helpful, providing good service and clean bathrooms with a variety of snack options. While the station used to have a restaurant serving tasty meals and friendly conversations, it is now closed, leaving travelers missing that extra dining option. The station also has basic amenities like clean bathrooms and helpful staff, though some reviews mention that milk products may have expired dates. Overall, Valero is a practical, well-maintained stop for fuel, snacks, and a quick break, especially for those traveling through the desert or crossing borders.
If you have a dog… they have grass for a proper piddle! Grass is a very rare thing in the desert and none of the rest areas have grass. This is a place the little pooch can go without burning his toes! And the gas is reasonable!

Everything's a bit more costly but it provides quick access if you just need to grab something real quick.
