“Great selection of craft and domestic beers. Good spot if you're craving something different or local. Pricing on the snacks is a bit inflated, but it's basically a liquor store....so it is what it is. They do have quite a few cigars for sale in a legit humidor if you're craving something. Definitely worth checking out”

“We live in Temecula, CA., by Red Hawk Elementary School. I see the early deliveries by Driftwood. It brought back some nice memories of the 1960's. My Mom was a Cafeteria Manager for the West Covina School District. She was always at school early for deliveries, and one was from Driftwood. We lived in Covina, and we had Driftwood milk home delivery. So glad you are still around! I smile when I see "Drifty's" pic on the side of the truck.....”

“El Monte Steak and Cheese Chi changes are great. I Micro Wave them for 1minute 30 sections covered out of the wrapper right from the freezer on a plate or in a bowl. At 45 seconds I stop the Micro Wave and turn it over. Complete the remaining 45 seconds and remove from the Micro Wave and top with about 2-3 Tablespoons of Tostitos (Medium) Salsa Con Qeueso. Mummy Good.”

They have a lot of different grocery items as well. Milk if you need to pick up some real quick. All different kinds of beer. The place is well kept and organized. You can see They have pride of ownership in this place. Would definitely recommend this market if you are in the area.”

“This 5-star review is mainly for the Walgreens pharmacy staff. Angie and her team at this location deliver an impeccable quality of service that can't be found at any other pharmacy in the area. My family and I have been going here for close to 15 years now and I can't imagine our loyalty going anywhere else. Angie and her team make sure medications are dispensed on time, with ease, and if there's ever any insurance issues, they'll handle it themselves directly without us ever needing to wait on hold with anyone. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're an El Monte resident looking for a quality pharmacy.”

“Clean Station & Friendly Staff – Stopped at a different ARCO location recently and it was super clean—inside and out. The convenience store was well-stocked, the restroom was spotless, and the attendant behind the counter was polite and welcoming. Makes a difference when staff actually care. ARCO’s been reliable for me—affordable gas, easy stops, and no hassle. ?⛽”

Thank you Walgreens for your great customer service.”

“This has got to be the most honest gas station ever! Usually I'm afraid to pay with my debit card because other gas stations require a larger amount than what you purchase for. Not this gas station they only took what I only spent. It's refreshing and comforting to know that there are still honest and very affordable gas stations with the lowest gas prices around!”

“I go at least once per week, usually twice. When I get my cash out once a week-ish, or when I get my smokes. Again, once a week-ish. Love the deals. Love the selection. The workers are either friendly or professional. Dont often get the Big Gulps or Slurpees (though I do occasionally). Have seen reviews mentioning bugs and whatnot, but I've never seen any myself. My only gripe is I wish they would stock Sweet Tarts. Not the rope things. They always have those. The classic Sweet Tarts. They used to, but not for months, sadly.”

“I want to give a huge thank you to Pharmacist Kimberly Diep for her professionalism and kindness. Over Labor Day, CVS’s scheduling system let me book a flu shot appointment at a CVS inside Target, but when I showed up the location was closed for the holiday. Since the flu shot was already billed through insurance, other CVS locations told me there was nothing they could do. When I went to Kimberly’s CVS, she went above and beyond to try to help. She even took the time to call my insurance company to see if the claim could be reversed so I wouldn’t be left without my vaccine. Even though it couldn’t be fixed that day, I really appreciated how much effort she put in during her busy workday. I returned to Kimberly the next day to finally get my flu shot because she had earned my trust and respect with her dedication to patient care. The CVS system may have failed me, but Kimberly did not. CVS is lucky to have her!”

“This 7/11 has a ok location. On the corner of Rush and Tyler, so street parking here is a no-go. It does have a parking lot that is small and convenient. There's two restaurants and a water refill station on this spot and parking is still good.. so it's not crazy. Usually, I come here to get me a soda and hotdog combo.. for 2 bucks you can't go wrong! Plus the beer selection is good too. They have a walk-in beer fridge which is badass for summertime, too bad you can't enjoy your hotdog combo in there, I tried haha :) For a convenience store this is my favorite. Open all the time and these guys are always cracking jokes with a lot of people, mostly the regulars but always funny”

“I've been coming by over the last 3 years so I guess you can consider me a regular customer. I stop by in the mornings for their freshly brewed coffee and warm breakfast sandwiches. Customer service is always great and they greet me with a smile and good morning! Oh and they have an awesome touch less car wash.”
11453 Valley Boulevard, El Monte CA 91731
“They have a new car wash that gives you the option of touch free or soft touch. They just add the Chevron car wash application on your mobile phone that lets you purchase a single car wash or a subscription for $ 28 or $30 a month unlimited. They have new pumps with diesel. Clean squeegee water buckets and towels to clean you windows. They have the cleanest restroom in the area. Fresh hot food I love their Krispy chicken sandwich. Also helpful friendly staff. Open 24/7”
