I like going here to get gas. Near shopping centers and also conveniently right next to the freeway entrance.

They scam people !!! Charged 39dollars And No gas was pumped in my tank at all ! Arrived with 7 miles . Left with 7 miles after pumping 39 $ "6.39" gallons later ! read more

Took my Mikes Hard Lemonade to the counter yesterday evening , & the cashier asked me if I'm over 21. I'm 47. He thought I looked 29.

Really friendly male employee inside, huge store with tons of snacks, a motion-activated front door which is wheelchair accessible, and it's brightly lit after dark. read more

ampm - come on in - Convenience Stores Near Me - Escondido, California

Went in late last night abt midnight. Tried to walk in but the doors were closed and I saw an older gentleman right inside door sitting in chair. I asked if I could get gas, he said cash only. I said ok and he opened door just enough to take my money and closed the door. He was very nice, but I just don't understand what's going on here? Did they get robbed? Are people threatening him and he's afraid to open the doors? Then this evening my mom said she paid for $40 in gas, pumped her gas and then left station. A few blocks later she looked at he gauge and saw only half that amount was put in her tank!! What the he'll is happening here? This is unacceptable business practices!!! read more

when it says that cigarettes are $9.14 a pack but two of them ring up at $23 using the app to scan it. I say something to the cashier and they say I don't know anything. I just scan it. It's like that at almost every ampm. they advertise one price then charge you another . better watch out when you buy cigarettes there they'll rip you off. I DONT BUY THEM, bait and switch read more

I don't think I've ever been to a worse gas station. My mom came inside to pay for gas in cash, and the employee proceeded to put the gas onto a different pump than the one she told him. After letting him know, he proceeded to tell her that he sent it to a different pump, and that a man had used 7 dollars worth already. He then instructed her to go ask him for the 7 dollars herself, and told her that "they were probably working together in effort to rob him" when she insisted for a full refund. He refused, blaming the issue on her when her car was clearly parked outside of the window, how could she have mistaken the number for one that's not even visible? When she proceeded to ask for a full refund he first said that he wasn't able to because the register would be short, then minutes after he said he would've given her a refund if she wasn't "a bitch". I'm not sure if maybe gas stations don't follow the customer is always right rule, but I'm sure no employee is supposed to cuss out and accuse a customer of robbery when she's simply trying to get gas. He said that he would get fired for refunding the 7 dollars, so hopefully that happens! Try a different gas station, better employees and probably more decent prices. read more

one of the worst customer service I've ever experience. I was escorted out of the store and had rude racial remarks thrown at me by the old black man because he thought I was homeless? even if I was why would he treat another human like that? obv he isn't doing well in life to be judging. like come on, you're 50 working in a gas station that you're always sleeping at. read more

The hours of operation says 24 hours Monday through Saturday. Every time I come a little after 1 AM there's a guy sitting near the door sleep with a sign on the door that says closed. I knocked on the door to wake him up and ask what time he'll be open again and he says 6 AM. This is not good business, just go to 7-Eleven. read more

Was sitting in my car for less than ten minutes trying to get my cigarette coupon app to open when an African American man came out yelling at me that there was a 10 minute parking limit. I couldn't believe how rude he was! I left and went to the ampm on grand where the employee was super nice. read more

This is the cheapest Arco in the vicinity, and I usually stop at this location when traveling the 15 or in the area shopping. Easily accessible from the freeway and located about a half mile east off the W. Valley Pkwy exit on the right hand side. Small station and it does get super busy. Luckily, the times I've gone it's not busy or have not had to wait very long. There are lot of shopping centers and food establishments in the area. read more

See all

The Cash stations outside are disabled, so reviews mentioning them aren't relevant anymore. Some of the people that are mentioned in the reviews from 2020 aren't there anymore. There is a new guy on overnights that has fresh coffee every time I come in. Usually I come in between 3:30AM and 5:30AM. Unlike the last guy, I think his name was Eric or Ethan or something like that, this guy is actually friendly and makes you feel welcome. I think his name is Jerry or Jay or Jeremy. I can't remember. If people follow the AMPM twitter, they will notice that the "closed bathroom issues" have already been addressed there, and it's up to the individual franchise owners on if the bathroom is open at night or not. I have no reason to believe that the new overnight guy would lie about the bathroom being closed for security reasons at night. Every time I come into this location the guy is wiping down a counter or remaking coffee, or filling one of the ice bins. Honestly don't think he would skimp out on cleaning a bathroom. Although I imagine he'd have to close the store for 15-20 minutes, since he couldn't do it with customers in the store. I'm sure someone would complain on here about that as well though. Morning shift people are awesome. The nice lady is always working on making fresh coffee after the overnight guy leaves, and the guy up front is nice to everyone as well. My only complaint is all the unfair reviews people have left in the past calling people lazy. Willing to bet those same people have never worked a service job and have no idea the amount of crap Retail Cashiers and Food Service have to put up with. If you come in at night, and there is a problem with a pump or the air, let the overnight cashier know. Surprisingly he actually will right it down and leave a note for morning shift so it can get fixed. What a concept! read more

Came in at 8:45 p.m. to get gas on my way home from work. Cashier was not wearing a mask at all, not just not wearing it on her face she did not have one at all which is a violation of city ordinance. Cashier also had her boyfriend or friend Hanging out violating 6' distancing rules. Cashier was very rude, Made me wait to complete my transaction as she was too busy texting. As I was paying with my card she wandered down the counter to continue her conversation with her friend or boyfriend, when I requested my receipt she sighed heavily and stomped over to the cash register to get my receipt as though it was the biggest inconvenience in the world. Water/air machine broken, no sign, but will still accept your money, a violation of state law. read more

Easy to get in and out of. The cash machines all work and so do the pumps. The gas is almost as comparable to costco but still have to pay a transaction fee if using s debit card. read more

I mean, if you're in the neighborhood, and you're screwed (running low on gas), this is the perfect place to go to. But everything is marked up significantly read more

The employee who works the overnight has a really bad attitude. There's nothing convenient about this store. He locks the doors all night long and opens them for each individual customer. You want to buy something? You gotta do it on his terms. At least 5 different nights I've had issues with this guy. Forget about coming at 2am cause it's shift change or maybe he's on his break and closes the place for 30 minutes. The most inconvenient convenient store in Escondido. Which is saying something cause most of the clerks in this town don't care at all! They should all be fired! Bums! read more

The evening shift worker (bald with tattoos) will lie to you and say that all a.m. PMs close their bathrooms after 10 o'clock at night because he's lazy and doesn't wish to clean them. Go three more miles north on 15 and a person who earns his paycheck has the bathrooms open at the next AM/PM. They are clean. And paying customers have free use of them. LA Terraza am/pm employee should be held accountable and lose his job honestly to somebody who's willing to do the work that they're being paid for instead of lying to customers and saying that the bathrooms are "closed for security purposes" he means he doesn't want to clean them. When I asked for the customer service phone number he wouldn't give me one. Because he doesn't want to be held accountable for lying. Or his own laziness. You need to get a job you're willing to do-like the guy 3 exits up receiving the same pay. read more

NEVER COMING BACK!!! I had a low tire and stopped by to fill up on air. After putting $1.50 in the air pump I tried to fill my tire only to discover that the mechanism in the air hose that depresses the valve stem on my tire fitting to allow air to enter the tire was missing from the hose. So naturally, I went inside to notify the attendant.... Not only did he insist that the hose worked fine to fill tires and refuse to give me a refund, but he insisted that he could use it like that just fine to put air in his tires. That's impossible. And I didn't really appreciate him talking down to me like I was a woman and didn't know what I was doing... I'm a mechanical engineer that certainly knows how a tire works. But that wasn't even the worse part. He kept spouting the same excuse over and over, "Well those black guys steal them to put them on their motorcycles". He obviously had zero intention of fixing it or warning his consumers with an out of order sign. I'm an new to the area and was hoping this would be a convenient stop to and from work, but after my experience today I am never coming back. There are plenty of other options I will happily go out of my way for where I can expect not to be lied to by a chauvinistic racist. read more

Standard AmPm. Cheap gas.

I gave the clerk $22.00 for pump 11. The meter stopped at $20.00. The clerk acknowledged the problem. How many times has he done this? He was high as a kite on drugs or alcohol? I will never return. read more

If I could give a zero star I would. They don't accept credit cards and if you use a debit they charge you to do so. But if you got EBT they got you covered. The mayo mustard ketchup etc stand looks like they haven't been changed in months from the looks through the tubes. Avoid this place customer service is far from any normal business standard read more

Last night at midnight stopped for gas wanted to pay cash to avoid the irritating 45 cents for using a debit card that is why I stopped using Arco gas. The machines outside do not work so had to lock my car walk up to the door uuuggg, well the door was locked with a bike chain lock from the inside No NOTE as to why the doors were locked.. UNEXCEPTABLE!!!!!... This is why I don't like using Arco Gas read more

This is bad gas stations I see ever. The guy on cashier was so rude and did not how he put right number for the price . I travel and I was drive almost 2 hours I was looking to gas station to fuel my car and use restroom . He told me you can not use restroom with big smile . This is not nice with customers . I saw the restroom was open and he did not let anyone go there . read more

Not only with the pumps not except any of my ATM cards... When I finally pull cash out and handed it to the cashier and went back to my car to pump the gas... As soon as it clicked off the pump handle shot out of my car landed on the ground and spilled gasoline all over the place. It got all over my hand and my clothes. It's all over my car paint. Disgusting environmental hazard. I notified the employee he said he would make a note of it. That pump needs to be shut down it's unsafe. Since win the pump nozzles shoot out of the car when they click off? read more

The employees are very rude! The restrooms are sooooo disgusting! My ATM card got eaten by their machine!!!!!!! Beware!!!! My card wasn't bent or damaged. I waited there and made them get my card out. When they finally got the machine open, we seen the machine threw it on the ground inside the machine area!! I got no apologies or even an offer for a glass of water. read more

This is the worst gas station ever. Credit card machine sucks. Terrible looping gastv

don't bother! it's very shady here! they don't except credit cards due to shady policy! cash or debit only! who do you think you are!

Be careful to enter the correct pump number when using the kiosk by the pumps because the employees consider it a license to steal if you don't. I went there and apparently entered the wrong pump number. The pump I was at didn't dispense any gas so I went into the store and the rude employee informed me that I had entered the wrong pump number, someone pulled up to the incorrect pump, dispensed the gas I purchased, then left by the time I went into the store so I was out of luck. When I complained all the employee would say is, it's not his fault. I mean, think of this sequence of events. Is this even possible? I suspect that at the end of his shift the employee was a little bit richer. read more
