    a gas station with a neon sign
    Steven M.

    The worker (blonde guy with glasses) not wearing a mask and very disrespectful. I come here every morning and will be sure not to come back again.

    Creamer selection
    Elliott A.

    I came here just to get coffee before spending a day at the nearby courthouse. They have a plethora of coffee creamer flavors! French vanilla, hazelnut, half and half, irish cream, espresso shot, Reeses, caramel macchiato, Peeps, Cold Stone sweet cream, and Hershey's chocolate caramel. I complimented to the cashiers that this was the biggest variety of creamer I've ever seen at a gas station, and the lady there said that's all due to her. She's a big fan of coffee creamer! So am I! Their coffee selection is: regular, Columbian roast, robust, and decaf. If I get called to the courthouse again, THIS will be my go-to for coffee. (Why Starbucks doesn't stock vanilla cramer is beyond comprehension).

    the exterior of a convenience store

    I hate Arco's because they don't allow you to use a CC but...my husband left his CC there by accident when he was trying to pay with it and I went back about 2 hours later and they had his Platinum Amex so I am thankful for them having the card and returning it. Nothing like losing a CC with no max.

    One of the cheapest in town, just make sure you go really early or really late, the line usually spills into the street.

    I wish patty and anyone else who works at this location would get fired. This is the second time…read morewe've gone to this gas station and patty, the clerk, was rude as fuck to us. My wife needed oil for her car. For some reason the gas station was closed at 6:30 so she talked to patty through the window. My wife specifically asked for 0w-20 oil. Nothing else. Patty asks for the number again, which my wife repeats "ow-20". Patty goes to the back of the store, grabs the wrong fucking oil, ow-40 and fucking rings the bottles out before showing my wife the oil. She then bags it and hands it to my wife. When my wife gets to the car and we check the bottles, I immediately go out and demand an exchange or a refund. Patty fucking says no. I then ask for her managers number and she says "they'll be here on Monday". I asked her simply, why didn't she show the bottles to my wife before she rang them out and she said "we don't have the number and I told your wife that. No you fucking didn't patty. Patty, regardless of how long you've worked there, you fucking suck at your job. It's clear to everyone that this gas station is utter shit and I will be finding the mama hers number and letting them If I could give them negative stars, I would in a heart beat. Luckily help is nice enough to offer a bone to the shittiest service providers in the world, which is being nice because some of y'all don't dear we to be in business.

    Absolutely terrible customer service. Me and my boyfriend only went here 2 times and both times…read morewere to look for my pregnancy craving. The first time we went the owner refused to let us in and did not want to unlock the door. He blamed the door being locked on "homeless people near by " but there was absolutely no one there NOR at the gas station in general. He finally let us in but was staring at the camera the entire time as if we were going to steal. The second time and last time we went, the owner was in the back eating and we had to knock on the window to get his attention due to the door being locked but the sign said that it was opened. This time he refused to let us in and said the reason was because the last time we came we only purchased one item. (We got 3 things) we were slightly irritated so we just decided to walk back to the car since it was late. Immediately after we closed our car door, he let in a customer that also had to tap on the glass to get his attention but yet still refused to let us in because of the little amount of things we previously purchased. Overall the owner is extremely rude and the door is always locked even though the sign says open. I would recommend getting your gas from another shell.

    Terrible customer service by the owner. Quality of items sold are over priced and expired. Did not…read moremake things right when I tired returning items that were not acceptable.

    Before heading to Pasadena yesterday, my car gas gauge was at 2 bars. I said I'll just get gas…read moreafter my workout. Sure enough... my gas gauge was blinking upon leaving my workout location LOL. I had to quickly find a gas station. Well, the nearest gas station was at least 5 minutes from where I was at. It was between Chevron or Shell. Guess who won? You got it... Shell! Funny, as I was driving to Shell, I saw Chevron, but it was on the other side of the street that I was driving on so I said I'll just stick with Shell. Great corner location on Del Mar Blvd and Arroyo Parkway. Clean exterior. Prices were several cents cheaper than Chevron... yay! They also have a food mart, but I didn't go in. I prefer to pay at the pump unless I really need to go inside. If they run out of paper, I just make myself a note on gas cost and be on my way and not bother going inside to get receipt. Anyway, thanks Shell for being present when I needed you most!

    Honestly I stopped by to see if there were restrooms available (obviously I would've bought…read moresomething if so) but the guy said no. Now I'm looking at the reviews and it says yes. That was a bad enough experience that I'll not fill gas up here again like I do in the mornings or evenings before or after work. TBH the prices are pretty high compared to even chevron down the street. (Yes it was that serious). EDIT: Shibli, thank you for your response; however, as a business/franchise owner you should ensure that ALL platforms reflect the correct information especially if this has been unavailable for 5+ years -- you've had plenty of time to correct this information. As for the Chevron comment, this is my observation and was took my business there as of this morning. Thank you. These small things make the difference on whether someone will use your service moving forward.

    Arroyo Shell - They partner with another local brewery to brew their own beer Replicant, and sell a great selection of craft beer.

Sometimes the pumps do not work properly and you have transients lingering around asking for change or being aggressive to wash your windows.

I looked at my gas gauge, saw one bar left, and I said to myself... I'll be back LOL. Indeed I returned in the afternoon. After getting out of my car, I looked on the ground and it was stained with oil and gas which is normal at a gas station. The grounds were well swept and clean though. Anyway, I filled up my gas tank. Prices were okay for the location. I recall having some scratchers with me at the time. I pulled them out and walked into the Circle K mart. There was only one person in front of me. He was redeeming some scratchers as well. When I got up to the counter, I was greeted by a really nice gentleman. Thank you sir! He asked me to scratch off the bar code. I didn't know what he was referring to because I've never been asked to do so. Anyhoo, he said he's not allowed to scratch for the customer. I guessed the area to scratch and luckily I guessed right. Whew! All was good. Redeemed $19 and I was off. Thank you Mobil!
