Gas Stations in Pala, CA

“Usually I stop at Daniel's for a restroom break and to pick up snacks, but I wasn't the driver on this desert trip so we came here. Actually, we made two stops... one on the way, and one while we headed home.Both trips, the women's restroom was surprisingly clean and well-maintained. On the way there, I picked up snacks and energy drinks and they were pricey... but they carry an orange-juice beef jerky that reminded me of the Chinese fruit jerkies I grew up with.Gas was expensive (though not by SD and Riverside County prices) compared to the station at the foothill of Valley View Casino... I thought it would be on par with that place before arriving.On the way home, we shared a Boar's Head sandwich combo. The bread was fresh even at night, and the sandwich full of meat. There was plenty of space for us to park away from the action at the gas station. Overall, a worthy stop for desert trips.Pros:- clean, well-lit, no homeless - friendly- unique beef jerky selections (Jeff's Orange a Peel!)- sandwich combo dealCons:- gas a bit pricey by reservation standards but par for the course in So Cal”

“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 .”
