“This review is only for their flour tortillas I buy these flour tortillas from Barons Market in Ranch Bernardo. The burrito size tortillas heat beautifully, stay soft and pliable. They are thinner than grocery store tortillas but hold up very well. I've never had an issue with them falling apart. I heat mine on a large cookie sheet over a gas burner. Disclaimer: I have never been to their local store - but next time I'm in the area I'm stopping by for sure.”
“Whoever is working the cash register on June 28th at 5:36 p.m. is a g slushies are peak in this hour or whenever this dude's working the shift plus he hooks it up”
“What you want notice probably besides the fabulous gas prices are the chocolate chip and other types of cookies three for a dollar You simply have to give me your phone number.”
“This Circle K in Escondido on N Centre City Parkway is a convenient 24-hour stop. The store was clean, the staff was helpful, and it’s nice that they have public restrooms, drinks, coffee, snacks, and quick grab-and-go options. The self-checkout is convenient, but it can get a little backed up when the store is busy. Overall, a decent place to stop for gas, a drink, or a quick snack.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just wanted to give a big thank you to the staff here always being so kind especially to my kiddos always making them feel special WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS !”
“Great cheap gas. Never can go wrong with Arco because of the gas prices. But they need more maintenance because their gas stations in Escondido are messy. But then again you're just there for the gas not to stay and enjoy the place lol”
“The low-grade gas was 5.57 a gallon here but it was even cheaper across the street unfortunately the lines were longer across the street so I paid a little bit more to get out of the area quicker.”
“I stop at this ARCO location in Escondido frequently, and it has consistently been a great experience. The station is easy to access right off the freeway, making it a convenient stop whether you’re commuting or traveling through the area. The pumps are usually available, the prices are competitive, and the property is kept clean and well maintained. What stands out most is how efficient everything is you can get in, fuel up, and get back on the road without any hassle. The staff has always been friendly and professional whenever I’ve needed assistance. It’s refreshing to find a gas station that is reliable, clean, and well managed. If you’re looking for a convenient place to fuel up in Escondido, this ARCO is definitely worth stopping at. Highly recommended!”
“Everything was fine at the store. My overall experience is from eating the GO! Yum brand of Ice cream I just bought.I only ate half the container and then put back in the freezer. Not a minute after eating it I went to the bathroom and threw up everything. I felt fine after vomiting for a few minutes. I feel like I had food poisoning from the ice cream. Not happy. Another experience.”
“Every person who has helped me has been incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly competent. Their professionalism and genuine care are truly exceptional. I feel fortunate to have this pharmacy team in my community. Thank you.”
“Clean, priced correctly, located great, but its the staff that keep me returning. Especially, the blonde lady who works afternoon shift. She’s personable with a small-town heir of “momma next-door.” When she’s working security isn’t necessary, safety is implied by the mutual respect everyone gives her; vice versa.Stop by sometime, fill your tank up and say hi. ⛽️”
“This is the number one spot for anything I need. Whether it's drinks, food, or even if it's behind the counter goods. Love all the guys that work here! Great people and they'll remember you by name if you as frequent as I do. Always welcoming and always helpful.”
“I love Circle K! I am obsessed with their crunch ice! It’s like being at home and I adore the Circle K staff! It’s like being among good hearted friends and family every-time you walk through those doors!!! Love Jenny and Michelle! Adam and Jake! Dustin! Love ‘em all ?”
“Staff was friendly, but be patient sometimes it may be crowded and they only have one person working. The prices were a little high. That's what you expect when you don't go shopping before arriving.”
“Clean and organized. Their eye in the sky is all knowing and they WILL ban you from the store with a quickness. Same for loitering.. they'll involve the cops for it. The gas is usually the cheapest around the main competitor being Vons just up the street.”
“I was hesitant because there are a lot of negative reviews about the man inside being so rude and mean but he was the sweetest nicest man! I highly recommend not only cause they are literally the cheapest gas station I’ve found in a while but the man was kind and friendly! I believe the negative reviews are people that had a bad day and misplaced their bad energy!”
“This gas station is always the best but HUGE MEGA shoutout to MAHIR that handles the car wash, he is SO amazing and makes the car wash worth the money!!! I drive all the way from the other side of San Marcos for him! He EARNS the tip for sure! Thank you MAHIR!”
“A good spot for quality gas at reasonable prices. They accept the app too! It provides additional discounts on all things inside and outside. Give them a try. Costco Gas Prices without the lines.”
“This is the main pharmacy I pick up my Claritin at. They are always friendly and helpful and when they didn't get the Claritin I normally get they had excellent recommendations... very helpful!”
“Fast Pace, Alittle Small but A Mecca For Summer Beach Goers On A Stroll. If I Was A Driver or Driving I Would Maybe Skip This One. But,l Not Because of Lack Of Great Associates But Because Of Lines and Parking. What a Answer To Prayer For Encinitas Beach Days and A Need For All 7-11 Offer's. Thanks 7-11.”
“Came here for a quick top up on the way in to town. Shared parking lot with what looks like an auto repair shop. Only one of the pumps was down at the time & it was busy, but I was able to pull up right away. Area isn't the best, needs were taken care of, full tank, so the needs we had were met!”
“It’s the kind of store you look forward to visiting again. Corporate, please give this location a new carpet. A little upgrade would make it perfect. My 92027 CVS never disappoints. Shawn’s calm presence and sincere smile set the tone in the best way, while Perry keeps things upbeat with his bright, down-to-earth personality. Jeanette in Beauty adds elegance and warmth to the experience. Pharmacy experience — it’s busy, fast, and probably nonstop. The 24-hour El Norte Parkway location can feel a little chaotic, and even at E. Valley Parkway you can sometimes see the stress on the team (we see those “I survived today” faces). Wait times can run long, and small things like getting just one syringe with a child’s antibiotic — can make parents feel like we’re rationing supplies at home. A tiny bit more ease, extra syringe generosity, and a calmer front-desk vibe would make a big difference. Totally understand it’s a tough job — just sharing this with a little humor and a lot of respect. Pharmacy Side ….”
“I have visited a lot of convenience stores in my 47 years and I must say this 7-Eleven has some pretty amazing people working there. Thank you for being so kind to me on one of my worst days.”
“This place congress in clutch all the time! They are open 24/7 and they have the random snacks I crave late night, and yes they have milk. (I eat cereal religiously!) this place is dope, 5 stars!”
