Cash only. $0.35 debit card fee. Stuck in the stone ages. Absolutely not a company you want to do business with. Less protection on debit card purchases in cases of fraud. Avoid at all costs. read more

During the time of my visit, this gas station was surprisingly cheaper than any other stations in my area. It just so happened I was having dinner in downtown Del Mar and noted that the price for premium was a little over $4. Other gas stations I've passed was merely $4.15-4.20. I made sure to stop and gas up! Can't miss this station as it's a main landmark in Del Mar heading towards the fairgrounds. Can get busy during peak times. read more

Wow! This is the most dysfunctional convenience store I've ever had the honor of visiting. Dropped by for a few items and wish I had just went across the street to the nicer store. First the staff working here were pretty damn rude, I get to the cashier and she's just leaning on the counter and I ask if she is open; her reply was just "if you don't want a receipt". I was in a hurry, so I said that was fine; only to find out they don't accept credit cards. It's 2016! All convenience stores should be accepting credit cards. However they do accept debit cards, so I used my debit card to only find out there is a surcharge for using a debit card. This place really needs to shut down. read more

Worst gas station, ever. There is a real reason why they have two stars. I would give them zero, if I could. The cashier was a real piece of work. I suspect that he was the owner because of his arrogance and indifference. Bathrooms were hastily roped off with tape. When I asked to use one, after filling my tank, I was told they were 'broken'. Both, I asked? He said yes, which was a total lie. I told him it was illegal to not have a working bathroom for patrons and he basically told me off with few words. On my way out, I saw someone urinating on the side of the building by the trash bins. I will definitely contact the better business bureau or whoever it takes to report this. And funny, my review doesn't show up because Arco pays Yelp for advertisement. I'm on to you. This isn't the last you've heard of me. read more

I am realizing that I have an addiction to cracked pepper sunflower seeds. I was introduced to them by the parents on my son's baseball team (damn them) and now cannot seem to get them out of my head. So what does THAT have to do with AM/PM you ask? Well AM/PM is one of the few places that sells them.....that's what. As with any AM/PM, this is a junk foodies paradise and I am happy to say I have NEVER eaten any of their food. Regardless, as with all, they have everything imaginable; food, drinks, etc. and the gas is usually quite a bit cheaper than other stations however they will not accept credit cards. This place is conveniently located off of Via de la Valle to the West of the 5 Freeway so on / off freeway access is a breeze. This store seems to be a little older and was a bit dirty but I wasn't there as a health inspector, but rather to curb my addiction. read more

Not the best gas prices. They used to be super competitive but not anymore. I come here for gas only if I am out of gas and can't make it to another station near me in CV. They are very conveniently located and the parking isn't abundant. Easy in and out and close to the 5 which puts them in a good locale. read more

Gas is gas but the location has a great location and a wide selection of drinks and snacks. Pay cash to avoid paying the transaction fee

There are not many things you can review a gas station for. 1. gas prices are descent for the neighborhood 2. Conveniently located on a busy street corner so it depends which direction you are going. 3. Cleanliness is not an issue here that I have seen.(did not use restroom) 4. Selection of food and drinks is pretty good and stuff is priced reasonably. This is not the best gas station in the world but it is evident that they are doing the best they can with what they have. read more

Pros: great selections if snacks and drinks. Location is pretty easy from the freeway. Cons: difficult to get back on the freeway. Always has super sketchy people loitering around. Don't stop here unless your gas light is on. read more

This place is the pinnacle of poor experiences. The employees are so rude and very short with their customers. I'm confused on why they work at this place, they clearly do not enjoy it. The facility as a whole is worn down and dirty. The snack selection is alright, but it's just a gross place. For an Arco, which I always felt like has great fuel prices, this location is just as expensive if not more than everywhere else. I will literally go across the street from now on even if that Shells gas prices are also outrageous. Avoid this place is you can. The fair/racetrack traffic is already reason enough but if you can make it across the street or down to Flowerhill mall that is your best bet. read more

Oh....my....god. Where else can you go to get breakfast, lunch, dinner and all your beverages for before, during and after your meals? And did I mention this location also has the cheapest gas in town? Oh wow, this is almost too much to take in...seriously, I was choking on a corn dog. Hot damn! Hot damn, I say. Why deal with the stress of getting in shape when what really makes me happy is walking out of a 24 hour junk joint with a bag full of BBQ sandwich, corn dog, sausage dog, Slim Jim, 24oz. Monster and a 40oz. to freedom? I have no reasonable answer to that question. Eating bad just feels so much better. The only reason this ampm location doesn't get 5 stars is because I'm pretty positive that I won't be able to speak in English to the people behind the counter within the next year and expect them to understand me. I'm not even going into that subject, but let's just say I would appreciate being treated with the same kindness as they gave their compatriot standing in line in front of me. Queue outrage by overly sensitive numpties.... read more

ampm - proof! - Gas Stations Near Me - Solana Beach, California

Carlos makes errors and thinks it's ok when he says "my bad". I would fire him. He is a liability.

One of the clerks who works at this location is extremely rude and unprofessional.Lady with short brown hair and gravely voice.She can't count change apparently because when my boyfriend was trying to give her change she kept rolling her eyes in an unprofessional manner.I was still standing there but when my boyfriend walked out she went off on him about him giving her change as I was standing there.We are customers and we give that store a lot of business.If she can't count change or doesn't like it she shouldn't be a cashier.Extremely disrespectfull. read more

Worst costumer service ever. Been going to this store for years to buy beer and smokes. There is a new lady with a 666 tattoo on her left arm. Apaerently my drivers license is no good to buy smokes. I won't go back there again. Also they don't accept credit cards and debit there is a 35 cent fee buy stuff. read more

OK, three of the 12 pumps are out of order, the pump the good work overflowed. Inside was clean and in working order but they were out of several sizes drink cups and there was no water with the squeegee at the window washing area. read more

Gas station clerk rude. Asked to use bathroom but claims that it is not working. I asked to use the other bathroom ... he again said no.. don't go to this ampm read more

After a bad experience in June and complaining to the regional office, I received a call from the owner's representative. I appreciate the service recovery and remediation. read more

Attendant was crazy rude and wanted to charge for air. Only gas station in so cal that had an issue. FYI. If you buy $.05 of gas- the law is the air is free. read more

This place is no good. Who doesn't accept credit cards as payment? You can't buy GAS or FOOD with credit here. Avoid and go elsewhere.

Decent deals on food and drinks but sometimes there are sketchy individuals hanging around. The bathroom seems to be out of order quite a bit of the time, not that I would want to use it. Prices are better than they charge for gas. read more

I have never seen such inefficiency in a gas station. Don't bother stopping there. The first pump I stopped at didn't take my debit card, since in any case you can't use a credit card. There's usually an independent payment machine so I tried that, but all of them were out of order and had signs that instructed customers to pay inside. I finally went inside to pay, and there must have been 20 people in line. I finally gave up and moved my car to another pump that finally took my debit card. Last time I'll stop there. read more

Great location - horrible service. We had rented a U-Haul and needed to fill it before returning - as I didn't know how much it would take, I went in with a credit card for them to hold while I filled it. This was about 3:20PM on Wednesday, April 1. The attendant insisted I need to provide them an amount - although I said I didn't know how much it would take - "can't I just do a fill up?" I asked. He said very rudely, "we don't do fill ups here - if you want to fill up, go across the street to Shell." Being a business owner, I can only imagine what AMPM management would think if they knew their employees cared so little about the store's revenue. FYI, the AMPM in Carmel Valley has similar service issues - we don't use it either because of this. The only reason I used this AMPM is due to it's proximity to U-Haul. Unbelievable! read more

Terrible gas station with extremely rude employees. Absolutely will not return. Recommend going anywhere else.

This place is closed for an hour or two every morning,right when I go to work.There are customers banging on the door and the big Samoan chick won't let anyone in.Go across the street to the Shell station.At least they're nice and don't close. read more
