“If there were more business owners (of any type of business) like Son's, life would be so much better. They do a huge service for those of us who are struggling to make ends meet by having the lowest prices around. I'll bet their ungreediness pays off because the place is always packed while all the others are mostly empty, at least, I hope it does. My opinion is that's doing smart business-win for them, win for the customers. Thank you Son's.”

445 W 5th Ave, Escondido“This is very convenient gas station with lower than average gas prices. Be aware that trying to get a pump at times can be very very difficult. When it is busy it is a free for all. You gotta really be cautious in this station as it can be a very tight squeeze at times.”
8AM - 10:30PM
445 W 5th Ave, Escondido“Hard to find an honest mechanic in general. I'm lucky to find Mr. Son's shop who is very kind and honest. Took my niece's car here twice and I have no complaints. They fixed the car right away and haven't had issues since.”

300 W Washington Ave, Escondido“Great cheap gas. Never can go wrong with Arco because of the gas prices. But they need more maintenance because their gas stations in Escondido are messy. But then again you're just there for the gas not to stay and enjoy the place lol”

450 W El Norte Pkwy, Escondido“Cheapest gas from a reputable company I’ve found in North County. Lucky for me it’s also the closest to my home. I’ll be a loyal customer until I go electric.”
“I adore the employees here! Gabby always has a smile and a hug for me. Melissa has funny stories about her mom. Button calls Tafone "Kugo." He's my bodyguard. They are soooo busy it's mind-blowing. They seriously need another bathroom. Almost every time I'm there I see the Cheetos guy, he's funny. I'm a chef, but occasionally I eat a hot sandwich there. If I forget it in the window, Tafone gets it. See you there.”

2015 E Valley Pkwy, Escondido“Used to get my propane there, until they didn't know how to reset the low flow valve on my motorhome. I think I'll try a better educated crew next time.”
“Everyone working here is f friendly, helpful, and chill as f@#k! It's one of the two main reasons I rated AAA Fuels 5 stars. The other being their selection of fueling methods. Very solid, well rooted local business here in Escondido. And I really like the quality and variety of products they offer!And surprisingly a great place to watch the show off July 4th too!Long time customer, life long supporter!”

2838 Auto Park Way, Escondido“My mother in law drove over a curb and ended up high centering her car on a retaining wall in front of their business. An associate Daisy came out after seeing this, checked with my m-in-law to make sure she was ok, then stayed with her and spoke with AAA to get help. Daisy stayed with her until we got there to help mom as well. Thanks to Daisy and the Arco staff for helping an older woman who really needed some support after a frightening mishap!!”
“Aside from a little confusion starting the gas refill process, it was a very clean station and the attendant was very friendly and helpful while she offered assistance.”

1550 E Grand Ave, Escondido“The low-grade gas was 5.57 a gallon here but it was even cheaper across the street unfortunately the lines were longer across the street so I paid a little bit more to get out of the area quicker.”
“Need to fill grill propane tank. Had been going to UHual as many places don't fill 5 Gal tanks any more you have to exchange them via blue rhino. Saw Varso Gas station propane which was easy to get my 5 Gal tank filled in just a few minutes. Also saw thier gas prices were same and the Von's gas just another .5 mi down on Center City Parkway. Von's is frequently very crowded and backed up causing lines 4-6 cards deep for each lane of pumps. Have not seen Varso near as crowed. Little neighborhood gem here.”
“Clean, priced correctly, located great, but its the staff that keep me returning. Especially, the blonde lady who works afternoon shift. She’s personable with a small-town heir of “momma next-door.” When she’s working security isn’t necessary, safety is implied by the mutual respect everyone gives her; vice versa.Stop by sometime, fill your tank up and say hi. ⛽️”

1062 W El Norte Pkwy, Escondido“Great atmosphere with friendly service! Cashiers were very quick and helpful, all of my needs were met at this location! The owner is very funny and professional. Loved the wide variety of selections offered in the store and the clean pumps outside. Can't rave about them enough, thank you for the great customer service :)”
“It might not have the best prices as stated by another person on here but my car gets more MPG vs Chevron and way more than any other cheap quality gas station. My hybrid gets 480-500 with other gas stations, with mobile Apex i get 590-620 that's worth the extra pennies and def better on my mileage and cleaner on my engine. So in the end the gas is actually priced better because my car performs better”

1177 N Escondido Blvd, Escondido“Came here for a quick top up on the way in to town. Shared parking lot with what looks like an auto repair shop. Only one of the pumps was down at the time & it was busy, but I was able to pull up right away. Area isn't the best, needs were taken care of, full tank, so the needs we had were met!”

615 W El Norte Pkwy, Escondido“When I’m heading to LA or San Bernardino using using the 15 I always stop at the Shell station. The gas prices aren’t the best but but the taco shop inside makes one of the best bean and cheese burritos and overall good food around. I haven’t looked for it but they used to make a great chicken soup as well. It’s kind of odd for a Mexican restaurant, but it is inside a Shell station.”
“You’re looking for a great customer service, The staff here are excellent respectful, and they are on top of the game. The wall of shame has many pictures, It’s so funny, people of all ages still haven’t learned that you should not steal because you will be caught?? you will B laughed at too!!”

1702 S Escondido Blvd, Escondido“this is honestly by far the best 7 11 in escondido, i love how the place looks very clean! the employees are very friendly and cool, they’re the chillest and kindest people ever! though this 7 11 doesn’t have some of the stuff i would look for, it always has a way for me to find something else that looks good and totally forget about the thing i originally wanted! i hope the community never changes ^^ ♡”
“Not only do they have fantastic prices on their gasoline. But the gentleman that was working on the day that I went in recently was incredibly kind. I'd been having a hard day and he offered a gesture of kindness that I will never forget and I will always appreciate. I highly recommend them just based on the quality of his character.”
