“Usually I stop at Daniel's for a restroom break and to pick up snacks, but I wasn't the driver on this desert trip so we came here. Actually, we made two stops... one on the way, and one while we headed home.Both trips, the women's restroom was surprisingly clean and well-maintained. On the way there, I picked up snacks and energy drinks and they were pricey... but they carry an orange-juice beef jerky that reminded me of the Chinese fruit jerkies I grew up with.Gas was expensive (though not by SD and Riverside County prices) compared to the station at the foothill of Valley View Casino... I thought it would be on par with that place before arriving.On the way home, we shared a Boar's Head sandwich combo. The bread was fresh even at night, and the sandwich full of meat. There was plenty of space for us to park away from the action at the gas station. Overall, a worthy stop for desert trips.Pros:- clean, well-lit, no homeless - friendly- unique beef jerky selections (Jeff's Orange a Peel!)- sandwich combo dealCons:- gas a bit pricey by reservation standards but par for the course in So Cal”

“Last chance to get gas if you are headed to Palomar Mountain observatory or Pala Casino or surrounding vicinity . Prices are reasonable compared to the surrounding stations. Busy is the main downside, lol, but you will know why when you see the prices .”

“Staff was friendly, but be patient sometimes it may be crowded and they only have one person working. The prices were a little high. That's what you expect when you don't go shopping before arriving.”

“The staff there is friendly , they have a lot of empty shelves and the prices for most things is high but in a town with very few places to buy things it is nice to have it there when in a pinch and not wanting to make the long drive to a larger town”

“The staff is awesome. Or is it just me. It might just be me. I work here on graveyard shifts some nights. I could be biased. It's always clean. The bathrooms are always on point clean. The gas prices are always on par with the price of gold. Some pretty good deals on energy drinks and cigarettes though. Stop on in.”

“7-Eleven is awesome anywhere... Most of the time at least. Sometimes 7-Elevens can be sketch, but this one is not. It's quite comfortable to visit and of course has an amazing rewards program. Which I use frequently to get free copies and take a little money off of my bill when I visit this place. It is quite convenient and rewarding.”

“Place is extremely convenient being placed within a short walking distance from Harrah's. The employees here were helpful and had a very positive attitude. Can honestly nothing negative. They made me a whole pizza in less than 4 minutes and everything is moderately priced.”

“On two recent occasions the doctor sent prescriptions to this CVS location and the pharmacy sent me a text they were ready in less than 10 minutes so my wife could pick them up immediately. I'm sure there are times when this process could take longer if busy, but I was certainly very appreciative they responded so quickly so I could start the medication ASAP. My wife also said they were very pleasant and professional!”

“My wallet was stolen & the thiefs tried to use my credit cards to buy gas. They were denied. The ladies working there were very helpful in helping me determine this was the place where the attempts were made.”

“Been going here for 7 years and I feel like family now. Whatever I need, they always have. Just got to speak up. The owner goes out of his way to make sure you get what you need. At one point not too long ago, it was impossible to find Coca-Cola Zero, even at their store, and they went out and found a bunch for me. I got my Coca-Cola Zero! Just an example how much they care.”

“Sharyl (I hope I have her name right) and Kaitlyn are beyond amazing. They don’t see me that often, but I walked up today without mentioning who I was, and Kaitlyn had all the information ready. Unbelievable!! These ladies rock!! And I don’t get easily impressed. Best pharmacy in town!”

“Daniel and Valentin delivered outstanding customer service, rather unexpected for a gas station/convenience store, but as Daniel said, if you can't be kind and helpful, why work at a gas station? (close to exact quote, I believe). We were so happy with the excellent service, had to leave a 5 star review! The coffee is good too!”

“Love stopping here as this place is always clean and organized. Not to mention the employees are friendly and helpful. They also have plenty of Tesla chargers and they are busy most of the time it seems. Plus their soda station has a great selection. Check them out and see for yourself.”

“Five stars because they let me use the bathroom during Covid - even though there was a sign on the door that said restrooms are not for public use. Thank you Circle K.”

2.2 Poor5 Reviews

“The people who work there are always friendly and go out of their way to help their customers. They are an equal opportunity employer, and hire customer oriented people. Which makes this one of the best Circle K stores in the area in my opinion. Also they never discriminate when it comes it the restroom!!!!!”

“I started using this pharmacy in 2018I have some health problems and require a good pharmacy. I understand there are many bad reviews here but I have never had an issue with them. They are very nice and every time I come over to pick up my medication it’s always available for pick up.For example, I called today to see if the CVS Pharmacy on Winchester AND MARGARITA HAD PROBABLY NOT GIVEN ME A STEROID MEDICATION FOR INFLAMMATION. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO MEDICATION SENT BY MY DOCTOR.This was done over the phone. If you know how to key ahead and provide your personal information, somebody will answer the phone and help you very nicely. I will continue to use this pharmacy for their amazing great service.”

“Car wash dryer didn't dry my car, when I told them they gave me a new car wash cycle and explained I drove through before it was done which caused the dryer not to start up . Thank you Jon!”

“Every experience I have had at this CVS location has been a very positive one. In the store and at the pharmacy, helpful and kind employees have been eager to help. I use this location now for all my prescription and drugstore needs. I would highly recommend. Thanks CVS pharmacy and store staff, you all have been great.”

“7-Eleven is always a great quick stop in any area I am visiting for my job as a Home Hospice Health RN nurse. I use to go here all the time with my Nephews and then my Grandson for the Quick Slurpee of the boys choice. My only request is for some scientist to figure out how to make the bright coloring NONSTAINING to a Child's MOUTH AND TEETH. Sure looks funny taking pictures at the park with the RED OR BLUE SMILE and TEETH. But always a family favorite.”

“*Edit* horrible experiences in the past but now it’s one of my more preferred stops.This shell gas station/ 7-11 is so much better than it used to be… better ownership maybe? But the management is definitely much better than it was a couple years back so I had to edit my original review.”
