    We stopped by this gas station en route to Baja. Since there was a lot of traffic on the Camp Pendleton portion of the 5 south, I decided to fill up with gas here. The place is kept pretty clean. The restrooms were not disgusting to use, which is great for a gas station that was very busy that day. The selection of snacks and refreshments isn't bad here. The gas prices were comparable to the prices in LA county. Parking was not an issue either. They have a selection of wines, and they also have a dry cleaners attached.

    Expensive gas prices but the place is always filled with friendly staff and it's always clean and well organized.

    I travel to the wide world of whack jobs pretty often (Los Angeles), and it never ceases to amaze…read moreme that when I return home, my gas light dings within about 3 miles of this particular Shell. Why? Who knows... but I love it. The sheer convenience of this Shell station is worth 5 stars. It's RIGHT off of the 5 freeway at Avery Parkway, and you rarely have to wait for a gas portal to open up. Is that what they call 'em? I don't know, but because there is a Mobil station right across the way, there's always plenty of space for cars of all shapes and sizes to fill up before hitting that long stretch of nothingness through Camp Pendleton. Additionally, the station itself is really clean, and I can actually trust the food and hot beverages at this location... unlike most other gas stations where you question the last time that slimy pot of coffee was brewed. If you're driving home through Orange County, or driving north for that matter, it's worth stopping by... especially if you're in a hurry. It's as easy as a $2 hooker with dentures and a sugar craving... whatever that means.

    This used to be my go-to easy on, easy off gas station because it was so convenient. Not any more…read more Guys, just because Covid exists, doesn't mean my bladder stopped working. Would you like me to pee on the side of your building instead? I guess so- I have to go, I don't have time to drive somewhere else. I'm going here, it's up to you if you want to smell like piss or be a normal gas station and let me use your actual facilities. I'm guessing the cashier uses the bathroom just fine when he needs it. You are just too lazy to clean it, this has nothing to do with Covid. Guess I'll find a new go-to stop.
