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!

The GM chargers here…read moreare reliable -- usually around 150 kW max before tapering -- and everything around the station is well‑kept. The windshield washer buckets are always full with plenty of soap, and the big trash cans make it easy to clean out the car. Inside, this Flying J has pretty much everything: Taco Bell, Cinnabon, sandwiches, tons of drinks, a lounge area, showers, and clean bathrooms. Super convenient for a quick break. There's also a Jack in the Box next door, and local vendors often sell tacos, honey, and veggies nearby. Great stop all around -- reliable charging, lots of food options, and easy in‑and‑out.

Don't, I repeat, don't come here during a busy holiday; everything will be crowded, and you might end up in an uncomfortable situation while waiting for a restroom.

Shafter rolls up the streets early so it's helpful that I can go here spontaneously and the doors are usually open. I occasionally get gas here and the prices are always better than most of the local gas stations. I read a review by someone and they complained that credit cards are not accepted. This is true but, I'm surprised that this person didn't know that this is a corporate policy and has been in place for many years. The local owners do not have the option to accept credit cards. That is part of the reason Arco is able to provide competitive pricing. The location is a bit tricky to get in and out of, but it is conveniently located.

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.

This was James Dean's last stop before he got into a fatal accident hence his huge cutout outside the gas station. Store was spacious with lots of different snack particularly nuts.

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.
