    Early morning times the race for the pump's is don't forget your breakfast and the drinks for the day.
    Joel C.

    In the many cities you will find conveniences stores and the 711s people travel and those have the warm cup of coffee and those that love the warm breakfast sandwiches you can pick up the extra sandwiches for lunch and the sodas to go with lunch. Am PMs have been the ones that have been around the many cities from the Las Vegas and the areas of Los Angeles you can find the one place that is always there the late-night snacks of to pick up the gallon of milk with one location that is open at night at the great food which is always there? With the many places you find can be closed at certain times and many others are the 711s the many Slurpee's yes the flavors many have tasted in their lives from the cola Slurpee's when you have an AM PM you have the great snacks you can find from the M&Ms and the candy bars. The many times I had gone to the location has been the good morning sandwiches of bacon and sausage with hot coffee and the extra things that I purchased for latter in the day when you reach for the bag of chips. When you travel on the road you may get sick and need to get aspirin and things for your stomach there are many places you find high prices with AM PM Arco you also have the most important where you can get gas fill ups to keep your car running. ARCO AM PM has the best employees that are there and the most helpful they can be busy at the 8th street location they have many cars with the many that come from all over the ci9ty of National City and the areas of Chula Vista. Many times, I have come to the store you find and see the many employees you can see them getting things ready the many deliveries which came from the many companies from the drink companies and the Ice Cream companies they can bring so many deliveries. The customer service I saw there was the greatest the employee had helped me get the purchases ready and made sure they were still hot and had cold drinks. For those that are driving when the morning comes, I see the many drivers and the so many pay high prices having to wait in line as the prices there are so many ways of checking prices is to look at the many locations you may find those high and some maybe low prices. When you come to the many AMPMs you have the trust when you purchase is to look and check the prices. AMPMs Arco store is one of the best when you head towards the 8th street trolley you get the quick snacks, and the cold drinks can be the best to get through the day and to get you home safe if you're driving you can pull in and get the fill up you need with the many stations are now being built for the electric cars. As a Yelp Elite the many Arco AMPMs the one that I had found that I had seen were the many that were in the College District and the one at 8th street of National City the end of 8th street is the one you can see the Naval Base and the tall ships thereof. The lunch times can be the busiest grab what you like they can get you rung up and, on your way, Happy Monday.

    I had came by to put gas at this location and when trying to clean up my windshield I noticed the stick had sh*t on it. I went to clean myself up. And let them know about it. A couple hours I came by to put gas with my friend without knowing this is where she was coming. And went to check if they had clean it up or took it inside or sum. But nope. They gave 0 f*cks. And left it there. It is extremely unsanitary specially considering what area of town it is. This should be cleaned up every couple hours since there is a lot of people roaming around. This is the most nastiest thing I've experienced at a gas station. The water was also black with a bunch of towels in it.

    What can I say it's a gas station lol this one is right next to a freeway on ramp and there's Jack in the Box on the same lot which causes there to be quite a few beggars around asking for money. The lot is dirty but again it's a gas station!! Gas prices are always cheaper than other gas stations. The staff aren't the nicest people here but again IT'S A GAS STATION!!

    Food and gas

    Gas is always reasonable here. Its an Arco station connected to an AMPM. It is in a convenient location in National City just off the 5. The gas station is big with a bunch of stalls. The AMPM is your typical convenient store. The place is always clean during the daytime. The daytime employees are very good here. They are efficient and always seem to greet me or have a smile on their face. The night staff is ok. They are not as customer oriented. One plus is the hot snacks here. Corn dogs are 2 for 2 bucks. Cant go wrong with corn dogs for a buck. Also the Tacquitos are 2 for 2 dollars also. They also have a pork rib sandwich that is similar to a Mcdonald's Mcribbut only cheaper. The nachos are also good. You can top your nachos with their condiment bar. I dump as much onion and jalepenos on my nachos. Best time to get these snacks are during lunch hours. I notice they are always not fresh at night. One negative is the location can have criminal elements at night. I see some prostitution and drug transactions going on. Other than that its a cool place for reasonable gas prices and cheap food.

    Seriously, this place is ranked by the most incompetent clowns you could ever imagine…read more I always and I truly mean ALWAYS HAVE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WHEN I COME HERE. Their fridge is always empty, they lose tons of revenue because their incompetent employees dont know how to run a business and keep stock. Today, on 4/4 I came in looking to make a purchase and the incompetent clerk would not let me purchase the items. I literally walked up to the counter and tried to purchase, he said no I cant ring you up. He took forever to get off his phone and come to the register. Then, while texting or scrolling online with kne hand, he tried to offer a half service. With the end result being that he cant ring me up. Absolutely insane. I dont know if he thought I was using fake bills or what his issue was. Im literally a local business owner and pulled up in a six figure car. Who am I looking to scam over $15 in water bottle purchases? I gave him zero reason to not ring me up. Im Absolutely flabbergasted at the experience. I would fire this loser in a heartbeat if this was my company. Also, get anew manager because you all are losing tons of revenue here with barr shelves 24/7.

    A very accesible gas station, with plenty of Gas pumps. It…read morecan be accessed from National City Blvd and right off the 54 freeway. The building is brand new, clean, spacious, and bright. The prices are competitive, and can be seen from the main road- also, I like to check gasbuddy.com for pricing. This will probably become my favorite gas station from now on

    Just want to clarify that This is actually the arco on 18th across the street from jack and the box…read morenot the one uploaded by another person. The one pictured is the other arco on 24th st. Now as you guys can see customer service is terrible. One person in particular who I keep having ongoing issues with. Her name is Linda and she's a short filipino lady with a thick accent. She's always lost and confused when it comes to debit card transactions. And instead of accepting her faults and/or lack of knowledge she insists that the customer's card is defected or declined. She love's yelling "decline! Decline!" For the whole world to hear. When fortunately this was not the case for me. I had sufficient funds both occurrences with her. She shows absolutely no initiative in trying to resolve the issue instead she says "I have no control over that" "it's your card or what you are pressing there" or "that's not my job" and this most recent time she actually left her booth to run up to my car window to tell me "if you have a problem you can talk to the manager" and idk where she think she is but you don't run up to people's windows like that - and when i asked her for her name she says "you see what my name badge says it says Linda" she should really think about her actions and how she decides to carry herself and realize she's in a customer service position that requires CUSTOMER SERVICE which she clearly knows nothing about! As it looks like management doesn't even bother looking at these reviews I will be escalating this to whomever I have to because I simply cannot stand for this type of nonsense anymore. Going to the gas station to pump gas should not be a stressful moment for me, these gas prices already do a good job of stressing me out - I don't need more of it. Just need someone with proper training and a better attitude to turn on the gas pump. Didn't think that was too much to ask for.

    Horrible!! There is NO RESTROOM for PAYING customers. I…read moreread other reviews and Yes the woman at the front is everything the other review say. I mean wow I have my infant and I need to use a restroom and she says sorry we don't have one for customers, as if I offended her with my request. Terrible. I never write reviews but this place doesn't deserve the the paying customers. There's another arco down the street to which I hope is day and night to this one.

It is probably the cheapest gas in the area though (at the moment). Looks like they take wireless payments at the pump.

My parents who are seniors went there to pump gas and get some cigarettes- my mother accidentally got the wrong kind and kindly asked to exchange them... They NEVER left the parking lot and it was less than a 2 min turn around time. this woman went OFF shouting on policy ... and that she can't do anything.... FIRST... Yes, I believe that there's a return policy... but why are you going off? Why are you treating ppl who are asking a legitimate question? Why are you so disrespectful and going off like a rabbit dog? Shouting and screaming like a crazy person. My then senior father got out of the car and went to defend my mom who was shocked at what was going on. It's disgusting.... and then she went OFF on him!!! like who's the owner of this place? do you even check what's going on? Excellent service is not expected from a gas station... but this is beyond disrespectful... check your cameras for proof 06/13/2025 @ 3:33 PM and reach out to me if you're the owner. You have horrible ppl working for your business .
