“Best place in the Coachella Valley for a cheese steak, Alkobar has lots of other amazing food options but the Philly Mexicano is my go to. The Philly Mexicano has sliced ribeye steak with grilled onions and jalapeños, secret sauce, topped with pepper jack cheese and shredded lettuce. The service is great and friendly staff, no indoor seating but a nice patio with great ambiance in the winter months.”

“This is not a food mart - it's a TREATS MART. You won't find much food here - even less than a small 7-Eleven - but boy do they have treats. Snacks from varied sours to imported Mexican milk pies. Beers and sours for miles. Pre-made cocktail drinks ranging the gamut from gross to grosser. An oasis in Palm Desert, and open late.”

“The staff at this place is always nice. I've never felt put off by any. Heck, this last trip I was asked if I needed any help - TWICE'. I so appreciate these things. The customers often seem impaired, leaving their cart where nobody can get by, or stopping in the middle of the isle and standing next to their cart to take up as much space as they can. Yet, despite the customer base, which is painful, the store stays clean and they move people through checkout well. Parking is not bad either, if you excuse the customers that take up two spots, walk in the traffic lanes, or wait in their car and block anyone from getting by them. Bad manners abound at Costco, but not from the staff. How they maintain such helpful manners is a miracle. Prices are ok and it's clean. But go very early in the morning. Avoid weekends. Take a few very deep breaths. PRO TIP: in the very back of the store you so find water, back behind detergent. That area is good to visit when you're in need of a break. It's quiet and rarely will you find more than a couple people there.”

“With the exceptions of returns on certain items that have a time limit (e.g. many electronics, TV's, cellphones, etc.) they will give you a full refund for things you're not satisfied with. But what can become an issue is if something you have breaks down months later and you want to get a replacement. If that item is still available in the store but costs more money you're expected to pay the difference. I once bought a chiming wall clock by Seiko that broke. I liked having it but due to price hikes more than related to recent inflation the very same clock they had available was a lot more money. Not sure if it would be a feasible option. But since we pay a premium for the executive membership it would be great if they allowed exchanges to replace defective merchandise as an included perk for those of us that pay double the price of a standard membership.Lastly, navigating my purchase history on their website can be a bit of a pain. It's quite cumbersome to search for items I bought that I may need to return. For example, I had to return a Sonicare toothbrush that went dead. It is not only so much work for me to search for the online receipt looking through my purchase history but it also takes a long time for an employee who is willing to do the same while in the store. Don't get me wrong. I'm very appreciative of the return process but there should be a better system in place like some type of keyword search engine to more quickly find an item's digital receipt. For example, I should be able to type in the word "toothbrush" or "dental hygiene" in a search engine while perusing the "Orders and Purchases" while signed into my account on their website. Once I have the information including the date and amount paid for my purchase I could provide the clerk at Costco with a printed copy of the specifics to save them a ton of time searching on their end. It would be a lot more productive for everyone if they made this adjustment to their website.Okay, one last thing. And this has been a problem I've experienced with Costco stores around the country. There are times when items are out of stock. I'm referring to grocery items that I purchase regularly. It would be great if Costco could somehow create an 'electronic' system for customers to keep track of inventory so that I can avoid wasting trips to and from the store for items I regularly purchase but aren't in stock. I only like to go to this store once a month. If I walk out of the store unable to buy two or three items (that I buy in bulk to last me the entire month) I buy regularly it becomes a bit disappointing. I am tempted to deduct another star from my rating for this occasional inconvenience that I've encountered ever since I've been a member (nearly two decades) of Costco. But I'll keep my rating at four stars.”

“Costco made up for the problems I had. Today I was able to pick up a $25 gift card they've been trying to get to me since this happened. The managers that helped me went above and beyond.”

“I don't usually like Arco gas. When I do put Arco gas I choose premium. With that said, I often frequent Arco because of their unbeatable prices on virtually everything! I found the Arco to be clean. Efficient. Good customer service. Clean bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised. Way to go Arco ✊😊”

“For the past couple of years I have gone here several times a month to get a diet coke. The gas station is very busy but the store is easy to access with a large and varied inventory with food, coffee and a soda fountain. The staff is great - all are helpful and friendly and some are exceptional. Issac is the best. He is very personable and yet professional at all times. He is focused and on task. Anyone can see he is an asset there. He seems to be the "go to" guy and works many shifts and holidays. I hope Chevron realizes how lucky they are to have Issac. It has been a pleasure to meet and observe job oriented young people who can multi-task while providing excellent customer service at this Chevron location.”

“I travel between Orange County and the Palm Springs area multiple times a year and this one of my usual stops if I need a quick something and bathroom break. There are other options along the way, but the easy access of Cook Street and closeness to I10 make it super coinvent. This place is fairly clean but can get messy depending on the time of day and number of people passing through. That's inventible with any convince store. It's normally well stocks and I actually like their hot food if I'm in a hurry. I haven't experienced a rude employee and even had someone hop on a register to ring me up when the other customer was taking longer to get his phone activated to pay. I appreciates that extra service.”

“Chevron, with it's affiliate convenience store, EM ExtraMile on Varner Road is my favorite “watering hole”. You pay a little more but the quality of gas, including the additive Techron, makes you feel your doing the right thing for your car. This branded duet guarantees clean restrooms, great coffee, trained employees that care, special deals on food items, etc. After all EM means they'll go the Extra Mile for you!”

“Gasoline is more expensive than places like AM/PM and the quality is the same, if is better or worse quality is very difficult to know cause gas stations do not tell you the percentage of cleaners on their products, so just look for the cheapest TOP TIER GAS”

“I recently went in on 2 separate occasions a month apart for 3 vaccinations. While it did take awhile for someone to come to the vaccination window, once they did I was treated and vaccinated with care and kindness. As we age we appreciate kindness so much more. I wish to express a heart felt Thank you to the staff.”

“I am a new customer to both the store and Walgreens as my pharmacy. I've been using CVS on Washington for years. I was so happy with the automated service, quick and smart. Today I went in and walked right to two waiting agents waiting to help. I was given the price earlier so I knew my cost, picked up 3 prescriptions and paid, out in five minutes! So much better!! It's close, easy, and so less time consuming! I am sold!”
