A++ for this place!Place is always clean, Staff is very welcoming to a point where you feel like family. Always has a full stock of items from lottery-food-daily essentials-smoking accessories & more; with all products very reasonably priced ☺️A year ago the timing of employees wasnt accurate to the opening time posted on the front however that has changed to them opening punctually and staying open until the very last minute possible.Again... A++ to Billies Food Mart on Rittiman Rd!!”
“Store is a little small but they do have a coke machine and pretty much any place with a coke machine and it actually being filled with most of the flavor options is a top rated location for me. Only reason I gave 4 and not 5 stars is because of how cramped the area to get a fountain drink was. But the employees were friendly and quick with getting people through the line.”
“It's the typical neighborhood convenience store near downtown in an area of high traffic of the homeless.The staff have been friendly & helpful.Peace ✌️Brian Bruce”

Whether I'm stopping in for a quick snack, drinks, or everyday items, the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!”
“It's small, cramped, and a bit dim, but it is surprisingly well stocked, but be prepared to pay convenience store prices. Employees are nice and quick at the register. Store does have a good selection of cigarettes, cigarillos, and little cigars. They are worth a look if you want inexpensive smokes.”

“Steve and his team installed Bilstein 5100 front struts and rear shocks on my son’s Tacoma in under two hours on a Saturday morning. Their shop is conveniently located right next to Fort Sam Houston and has earned the trust of the military community for over 50 years. Professional, honest, efficient, and easy to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend them for suspension work or automotive needs and will definitely be back for future business.”

“My favorite go to for fill ups on gas or Polar Pops. The crew are always friendly and fast. I really enjoy $5 pizza Friday. I pick up my pizza uncooked and take it home to add lots of toppings and cheese, then 15 minutes at 400 degrees for an extra crispy crust. Feeds the four of us with a green salad. Give it a try.”
“Good store for the hood. I like this store. Only bad thing they don't got fountain drinks. And there building a good kitchen. So. I go hear. When I'm in the East side!!!!”
“Ommggg this is my favorite place evvvvvvvverr my mouth is watering right now just making this post when I say this is the place to get your drinks!!!!! I luv yall keep up the good work!!!”
“This location is extremely clean, well-organized, and very spacious, which makes moving around easy even during busy hours. The aisles are fully stocked with a wide variety of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials, and everything is clearly arranged. The food area really stands out. The hot food section is clean and well maintained, and the pizza was fresh, hot, and surprisingly delicious for a gas station. There are plenty of food options available, making it a great stop whether you’re just grabbing a quick bite or something more filling. The coffee station is also excellent, with multiple choices and good quality. Customer service was fast and professional. Even with several customers inside, the checkout process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a perfect stop for travelers, professional drivers, and anyone on the road who values cleanliness, quality food, and quick service. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely stop here again.”
“HEB has some of the best fuel prices in the city. I have used, ExxonMobil, Walmart, Chevron, Velero, Circle K, Shell. I am not sure what fuel source HEB is getting fuel from, However, my Truck runs best on the fuel source from HEB. !!”
“The staff there are always so nice and will help you. Clean, well stocked. Mostly it’s the staff who make it easy to get in and out quickly with what you need.”
“We got some gas which was about the average price in the local area. We used the restroom which was clean and probably needed minor attention. We got some fountain soft drinks and the checkout was quick and easy. The only real issue was that the gas pump did not give a receipt. We needed the receipt as this was a company vehicle. The whole purpose of paying at pump is to not needing to go inside. We went inside anyway but this is not always the case.”
“Giving a 5 Star review for Ms.Baraka and Ms Aurora. They are the only two best workers that keep this Valeros running smoothly. They are the only reason my husband and I go to this Valeros. They always greet customers as we're walking in, they make sure we got everything we needed and make sure we are satisfied with our visit to their store. They both Are very polite women when speaking to customers. They have very good customer service and as customers are walking out the store they ALWAYS make sure tell the customers Thank you and also ask them to please come again. Please,Keep These two wonderful women for as long as possible. They make a good word for the Valeros on Foster rd. Thank you, Ms.Baraka & Ms.Aurora for always being helpful and polite.”

“Priscilla is simply fantastic! 🙂She made the experience fun and stress-free with her cheerful attitude and professionalism. I loved how patient she was, taking the time to answer all my questions and make sure I felt comfortable. Her attention to detail and care really set her apart — I left feeling happy and well taken care of. Can’t wait to return!😀”
“This place is AMAZING as far as convenience stores go. It’s immaculately clean inside - even the bathroooms, the staff are happy and pleasant and it’s clear they enjoy working there. Fuel is competitively priced and it’s SHELL so you know you’re getting a good product. There are dual car wash bays, air pumps and vacuums, the parking lot is clean and litter free and they have a large selection of foods and goods to add to your day. I stop here as often as possible. One of the greatest things about this convenience store is that it’s Texan owned and operated by people, not huge corporations. The owners have worked hard to deliver a good experience to keep the customers coming back and they take pride in their business. When you stop in here you’re supporting a Texan owned small business!”
“Great place for quick stop and go with a drive up window, no need to get out of the vehicle! Gas prices are comparable to other stations. The employees are friendly and very helpful. Block away so it's convenient for me. The wall is always updated with artwork and is usually very good! Small store but very well kept up! Open to 11:00 pm most nights with weekends open till midnight. Great stop and go store and gas station. On 24th and Martin streets. Very well lit for your safety.”
“Inside credit card readers are not customer friendly. Tap did not work, inserting chip card in reader did not work took multiple times swiping mag strip to get it to accept payment.”
“This Valero Corner Store is one of those spots that just gets everything right and keeps me coming back regularly. The store is always clean and well organized, making it easy to find whatever you need quickly whether you are stopping for fuel, a snack, or a drink. The selection of food and beverages is surprisingly good for a convenience store, with plenty of fresh options available throughout the day. The staff here are consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes even a quick stop feel like a pleasant experience. The pumps are well maintained and the whole process of fueling up is always smooth and hassle free. It is a reliable and convenient stop that I would recommend to anyone passing through the area.”
“Quick Trip is so convenient. There are plenty of gas pumps with good, average pricing of gasoline. The layout of the lot is convenient. Snacks and drinks are always available. I use Quick Trips regularly, as geographical placements are important to serve travelers.”
“I bought a pocket knife there recently and it works pretty good the register person was kind and helpful patient knew what they where doing they keep the store clean”
