Indian and Mexican food at a gas station? Oh heck ya!!…read more If you're on the road and want something that isn't fast food and at a decent price I highly suggest this place if you want something hearty and fresh. I got the butter chicken and was able to get Spanish rice vs white rice which went well together. They have samosa 2 for $4.99 but I was too full to get one. They also have Mexican food freshly made to order and the bacon or chorizo burritos are really good and only $6.99. Give this place a try..

They have plenty of food selections to choose from including your typical snacks and sodas and energy drinks along with homemade food as well. Have an amazing selection of nuts and berries as well as clean showers, clean bathrooms, and great service. The cashier was very attentive and multitasking overall. She was very welcoming and did not mind you eating your food inside the store. Gas prices was reasonable compared nearby gas stations.

The girl was nice and got me a wing and the wing was hot and delicious, I wish we had more local deep fried chicken eateries besides KFC, Popeyes, and Chick-fil-A.

I called in my order and stopped to pick it up. There were quite a bit of people already in the store ordering food. I overheard one lady telling someone how great the food was and asking what they'd ordered. I ordered the chilaquiles but they forgot to ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked so after I told them I had to wait about 8 minutes for my food. I went with the red salsa and added carne asada with over easy eggs. The bowl was amazing! I will definitely stop back in here for some more great food!

She's a connoisseur of fried chicken, and I felt like having a nice breakfast burrito. We ordered that and we were not disappointed. The people there were working fast and used lots of fresh ingredients. There was about 6 others waiting for their order, and a few in line. Didn't seem crowded, and we got our orders in less than 10 minutes. If you happen to find yourself in Shafter and are looking for comfort food, make a Big Stop here.

THE BEST TRI TIP SANDWICH YOU WILL EVER HAVE WILL COME FROM THIS GAS STAION MARKET…read more Deserving of 5 stars for many reasons, locally owned and operated, friendly staff, well stocked for it's size, has a ATM, it's a community treasure. In a town now known for it's upscale and hip eateries, the husband and wife team have perfected the meal that was born in California. The tri tip cut is lean and dense, so the problem that most use thick slices often over cooked, with the fixings taking a bite results in a slice of meat dangling from the mouth. At Collins, Mr Tri Tip seasons and barbecues them perfectly medium rare all the way through with just a thin line of char, no gray. Then to fix the toughness problem, Mrs Tri Tip slices the meat to make the perfect thinness of slices stacked to still have texture , yet not fall apart even when loaded. Each one is made to order with a list condiments and add in for customers to choose. Choices of a roll or breads. I like it on sourdough, with the veggies, horseradish sauce and salsa. Large portions, great value They serve it mostly as a Friday special, and special it is.

Inside the market, I was greeted warmly and happy to help out. Seeing the tri tip sign outside, I asked and they informed me of their combo special. Why not? For a store deli, I was impressed with the meat. You could clearly see the smoke rings in the meat and it was tender and flavorful. For $10 with homemade potato salad and drink can't beat nowadays! And worthy of a 5-star review.

We travel Interstate 5 often. When we find an easy place to get gas plus use the restroom we tend…read moreto frequent the location. To make my list the place must have a clean restroom. This Arco/AMPM meets this criteria of easy access and clean restrooms. As a bonus the gas is on the cheaper side in Buttonwillow and the AMPM has every sort of drink or snack you could think of. If you are near Buttonwillow on the 5, need gas and have to use the restroom this is a safe stop. Warning: be cautious of entering if the person in front of you has been in the restroom for awhile. These are private restrooms and entering after a long wait could be troublesome.
