“Last chance to get gas if you are headed to Palomar Mountain observatory or Pala Casino or surrounding vicinity . Prices are reasonable compared to the surrounding stations. Busy is the main downside, lol, but you will know why when you see the prices .”
“Nice gas station near the Pala Casino. Last gas station before Palomar Mountain. Lots of great snack and drink options. The employees are very nice. Be prepared to pay a high price for gas though with it being the only gas station around.”
“Came by for a Carwash and system wasn’t working, so manager gave me a free wash… so excited !!!!!! Simple things go a long ways thx again for your hospitality..”
“Really nice staff! Nicely stocked neighborhood corner shop. Plenty of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as snacks and basic cooking goods. Clean and orderly, and prices are terrific!”
“The smoked chicken is worth the trip! They have a really good meat counter and nice produce. In the past I probably would've given 5* but this visit the mango salsa didn't have much mango and the normally really good "store made" guac tasted like something from a jar. Ended up tossing it.”
“Eleanore has helped me countless times at Jacksons. She always has a great attitude and a smile. She goes above and beyond to help costumers. She’s always hustling getting something cleaned or stocked. What an incredible employee and what a blessing to each persons day!”
“The pharmacist is professional, friendly, and efficient. She takes time out of her busy day to greet the customers by name and takes care of their prescription needs. She always delivers the best service.”
“I come here 5-6 days a week and no matter who’s working, the service is always provided in a quick and professional manner. All of the staff are friendly and I feel as though I’m truly welcome here. Likely due to the manager Veronica. The business truly flourishes with such capable and reliable leadership at the helm. I’ll always be back ?”
“I visited the station to get gas and a car wash today and had a problem with the car wash and the attendant Christian went out of his way to get me back on track and finish with the car wash.The best part is that he had a great attitude which I don’t see much anymore.Thanks Christian you made my day.”
“I was greeted when I walked in the door (very ? nice). This being the first time I visited this location so I didn't know where something was, & I was asked if they could help me find what I was looking for ?. I also used the OPEN & clean restroom. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.”
“Awesome Mom & Pop market. John, Doug, Lucas, Clint, Thomas and even though he's former Air Force, Russ, are all great and very accommodating. Been coming here for 12 yrs, good crew.”
“Great place to stop and pick items you forget in town and a little down home chit chat. Don't forget to stop in at the great country restaurant ?? great food and real down home. Yummy!”
“First time to this Rocket. Reason being, I know with a huge gas station provided (Chevron) - restrooms would be available. Which definitely came in handy after an early morning weekday drive from San Diego at 6am. Two Gender Neutral restrooms in the far right corner. I know the one that I used was spacious enough for wheelchair access. Plenty of chilled beverages available in the fridge. Not that I was looking for the adult kind- but, bottled & canned sports drinks, all types of waters, sodas & juices. What I also eyeball is hot foods. There are Tornadoes (not sure what those are); jumbo hot dogs; Apple and breakfast type empanadas; and pretzels. There's refrigerated food- sandwiches, yogurts, Lunchables, deli meat & cheese trays. I didn't walk through every aisle. Besides the typical chips & candies- not sure if there's other packaged food available. Or if a microwave is set at one of the counters for customers to use. Near the restrooms- you'll find automotive needs.”
“My wallet was stolen & the thiefs tried to use my credit cards to buy gas. They were denied. The ladies working there were very helpful in helping me determine this was the place where the attempts were made.”
“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.”
“Love stopping here as this place is always clean and organized. Not to mention the employees are friendly and helpful. They also have plenty of Tesla chargers and they are busy most of the time it seems. Plus their soda station has a great selection. Check them out and see for yourself.”
“This is my favorite 7-11 gas station to come to. The staff there always has excellent customer service. Their employee Mike is my favorite. He is always so pleasant and helpful. I only like to use this gas station if I can. If you need gas or snacks, stop on by and check it out.”
“5 stars just for Patty. She takes care of some long lines, sometimes single handedly, and handles each customer with such grace and care. She makes sure you know about all the deals and discounts. Very patient and sweet. She rocks.”
“Very cool location. The employees are friendly and cool.b The store is so clean and well stocked. I love the coffee machines. Grind the dark nice colored beans, and brews the coffee on the spot.”
“Sharyl (I hope I have her name right) and Kaitlyn are beyond amazing. They don’t see me that often, but I walked up today without mentioning who I was, and Kaitlyn had all the information ready. Unbelievable!! These ladies rock!! And I don’t get easily impressed. Best pharmacy in town!”
“Been going here for 7 years and I feel like family now. Whatever I need, they always have. Just got to speak up. The owner goes out of his way to make sure you get what you need. At one point not too long ago, it was impossible to find Coca-Cola Zero, even at their store, and they went out and found a bunch for me. I got my Coca-Cola Zero! Just an example how much they care.”
“Absolutely nice store and I think he is a new employee on store ? very humble and nice. I saw him helping a old lady and he gave his best so very kind employees.”
“This is my go to spot to gas up when exiting the 15 heading into Old Town Temecula. There are plenty of pumps and it's not too overly priced. It's easy to get in and out of the gas station. Bathrooms are clean and the inside convenience store area is pretty big. I think this is one of the nicer Shell gas stations in the area. No complaints here.”
“This store is always organized, clean, and bright. I took advantage of their sales on Valentine’s Day gifts & bought some chocolates for my grandson. I have their app & I used it to download a $4.00 off coupon to add to my card. Such a great savings! The gentleman, who checked out my items was friendly & conversational. He asked for the phone number associated with my card and the discount was instantly applied at checkout. It was quick & efficient. Always a good experience shopping at this CVS.”
“It was great I enjoyed being there got me a soda for 98 cents and 64 Oz I was very happy with it it was pretty hot today so I figured I would just stop in what I call a quick stop”
“7-Eleven is awesome anywhere... Most of the time at least. Sometimes 7-Elevens can be sketch, but this one is not. It's quite comfortable to visit and of course has an amazing rewards program. Which I use frequently to get free copies and take a little money off of my bill when I visit this place. It is quite convenient and rewarding.”
