They don't allow pets and we got scolded for it by a guy who was inside of some food "truck" bus serving bacon (don't remember what it was called exactly). We honestly had no idea, there was supposed to be a sign but we didn't even see it because it blown over (see picture). Anyway, there was an older lady who had her ankle-biting chihuahua with her that my boyfriend pointed out. The guy then said "I don't care. It's in a carrier." Was it in a dog-stroller? Yes. But if dogs aren't allowed then they're not allowed. The guy also mentioned there had been too many incidents in the past with DOGS biting people... Wtf. I find that hard to believe. We didn't need to get talked to and turned away so rudely. Made me wonder if the guy was slightly racist.

We bought avocados and tangerines here on our way down from Fremont. The avocados are very cheap…read morebut delicious. Unfortunately, the tangerines were not amazing. Most of the snacks they have for sale are really overpriced too.

You would have to buy another item, then to get the deal, and we were told that we could buy any item for $5, and receive the $1 for 15 avocados. We bought a pack of dried mangos (originally priced at $9) thinking we would be charged $6ish, but were somehow charged $15. The math didn't math ..

They did however have lots of other snacks and goods in stock, including hot sauce, olive jars, nuts, chocolate, garlic, garlic ice cream, and cold beverages. We picked up some oranges, dark chocolate almonds, and ghost pepper hot sauce. Service was standard, and there were only a few other customers, mainly outside getting hot food as there was a taco truck and food stand selling baked potatoes and corn. Porta potties were available on site. Parking was easy right in front, too.

Stopped here for the night in order to get a few hours of rest before heading to the Bay Area. I…read morewould not choose this location to stop again. It was 40 degrees and men were on bikes going inside the truck park areas and looking in vehicles. Inside the truckers parking area, there are homeless encampments with piece of chairs, mattresses, junk and other items thrown everywhere. The lighting was good. The bathrooms were filthy, blood on the walls and feces looked like it exploded inside and out of the toilet. Thankful I brought sandals and my own towel so I could shower the next morning. The showers were not as bad as the bathrooms but there were still used razors in the bathroom. The management needs to consider assisting customers in the order they arrive, but the man behind the counter had no sense of direction. It was strange that he would speak English impeccably at times and then others act like he couldn't even understand the questions I would ask. Be careful as you walk into the gas station, it looks like someone just opened all of the deliveries, stocked the shelves and then threw the trash out the front door. It's an accident waiting to happen, so tread carefully. The place has tons of potential, just need the right person running the place.

Got a watermelon... Let's see how it tastes…read more.. Update: The watermelon was alright. The texture was a little off but overall pretty good. The pricing was a little more than you'd get at a store but they also had some things you don't often see at the grocery store. You're paying for convenience really.

When the 101 was fogged in or otherwise the less-preferred route from LA, the 5 to the 152 was a reliable path to the verdant green rolling hills of Gilroy, Pajaro, San Juan Bautista, and Watsonville. I always enjoyed stopping at roadside fruit stands and buying fresh produce, supporting the families who worked the land. Those days are decades ago now, but the roads through these rural areas are still familiar to me. On a recent drive through Pacheco Pass, I stopped off here, drawn in by signage peddling "Avocados- 3 for $1." My truck looked good in the dirt lot with a backdrop of green hills and fallow fields. I picked out a few nice avocados, paid cash, and was on my way. Didn't bite on the assortment of other fruits, veggies, and nuts. Took a pass on the portapotty, too. These roadside fruitstands are an exercise in price-point marketing... just down the road, a saw a sign reading "Avocados- 4 for $1," and smiled to myself. Maybe next time I'll buy there? Doesn't really matter to me, pennies and dimes... but it means a lot to these hardworking folks that you stop in and spend a few bucks here that will go a long way supporting their families. If you shop at farmer's markets in church parking lots and suburban parks, give this place a look, too. You'll be glad you did.

Today When I cut them open, all three were clearly spoiled, discolored, mushy, and nothing like they appeared on the outside. For that price, this was very disappointing. I also felt like the prices advertised didn't quite match what I was actually charged. To add to that, I stopped further down the road and noticed similar items were more affordable and better stored. After already spending so much, I chose not to purchase anything else only to end up with this experience.
