I needed a washout prior to picking up just a half mile away. They took a bit longer but did a thorough job. Cost was $40, not much more than blue beacon and bettert than many places. While inside waiting to pay noticed hot deli. Just wish I had come here before getting sandwich at pilot subway πŸ˜–

Been here before. Not a bad place. Food is usually pretty good. Parking could be better. If the people driving the cars would park in spots other than truck parking spots. There would be more open parking spaces for trucks. The Pilot up the street is so busy all the time usually no luck there!!! Not a bad place to stop for a bit!!!

Tri Tip here is Awesome at gge deli counter. Truck wash is quick and easy. Parking is limited because Lots of locals swap their personal vehicles with their tractor-trailers when they go to work.

Love to stop here on my way to work. Miguel, is the man I go to for the best breakfast burrito around here. He actually goes out of his way to give you and prepare for you want you want in your order. Usually what you see is what you get from most but with this man, hell special order mine.

Mmmmm yummy food! I changed my mind on the 5 stars. Yes the food was delicious BUT OMG the diareah that followed was epic pass through a screen liquid. I eat Mexican food all the time and never have that problem so something is not right in this kitchen. If you risk it I highly suggest a bottle of pepto or Imodium.

Review β„–47

I gave the truck stop a 3 stars over all but I am going to give the wash rack for wash outs a 5 stars! I an extremely picky when it comes to getting a washout. I want to be able to eat off the floor of my trailer and after they were done, I possibly could have! Excellent washout service! I give a 1 star for the restrooms and the showers, they need to be cleaned more often. I dont like how they tease me by BBQING chicken and ribs out front but never sell them. The just make burritos with the meat... buy other than that everything else is fine.

Review β„–55

I stopped here just for the food. It was really good but over priced. $17 for a 2 item meal seems its a little over priced to me. The shrimp was ok a bit tasteless and tongue flavorless. Stablishment is dirty and seems no one takes care of it. Filth every where.

Review β„–56

Just changed my review from positive to negative...They charge you $15 on all parking stalls.Theres no proper signage mentioning it, like Pilot or Flying J do. But they still pretend theres a signage about paid parking fees.I came here doing business with them over the last 13 months and this is the way Im being thanked, with a notice of payment on my door today, Aug 31 2020!The restrooms are dirty!You wont have my patronage anymore.

Excellent food, if you can find a place to park at this tiny dump. Had to get a washout, and spent more time waiting to be let in the door, by the Covid guard, than the washout. Only needed to pay for the washout, wouldn’t let me in. Screw that place ! Gonna find another place to wash out.

Truck and trailer wash is really expensive. You need app for truck and trailer (outside) wash. No app required for trailer inside washout which costs $40.. yes $40 just for inside washout!! If you want to save money, make sure you get a washout before you get to Salinas. Other places do full inside and outside trailer wash for $35. Food inside is good with a lot of healthy variety but lacks flavour big time. Staff is good. Bathroom are worst. Also, they charge $15 a night for parking.

Holy f**k boys a def must stop. Food is amazing. Its worth making a load late good. Parking is tight so newbies should probably avoid. Staff was awesome and if your getting a burrito you want the older short Mexican lady to make it.

Great food and BBQ. Ate while getting a truck wash, decent prices for amount you get. Probably would get better service if I understood Spanish. Only a few of the guys washing truck work as hard as youd expect, I dislike the stand arounds.

Review β„–96

I love the food! Tight place. Wouldnt recommend a new guy to go there. The washouts are great. These guys seem to do a better job than blue beacon. Again the food and cakes are a great treat from the normal healthy intake. Not that their food isnt healthy, it surely is but very high calorie. I typically eat less calories in the truck.
