Monte Vista is a small town in Southern Colorado…read more Thus Alta has definite small town vibes. When I needed to "see the cashier" on 9/2/2023 because the pump I parked at was not accepting my credit card, there was a line that I could tell was not moving fast any time soon. The convenience shop seemed decent. Clean. But it seemed like time was standing still so I went back out to my Jeep. Tried the pump on the other side. Sure enough, it accepted my card just fine. No need to see the cashier. No need to experience that twilight zone energy a second time. Lol. Conoco gas is sold here. That mid-morning it was $4 per regular unleaded which was 85 octane. Same price as the other gas stations nearby. TIP The Upside app has this as one of their checkin locations - it's simply an app to help you save more at the pump.

It's in a very remote part of Del Norte and the only thing around the area are ranches. The waitress was very nice and polite. There was only one other table of customers when we got there. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with hand cut fries. The burger had a hand made bun that was the highlight of the meal along with the hand cut fries. The meat while it was cooked perfectly was a tad under seasoned. The unfortunate part was the smashing down the bun which took away from the presentation of the burger. If you have a in house made bun then don't take away from it by smashing it down. The hand cut fries were fantastic. This was a good burger overall they just need to fine tune the basics. All in all a decent place to eat with a good vibe.

Hand towels not inside the towel dispenser. Empty soap dispensers. When talking to the person that seemed like she was in charge with the blue hair... Who was currently yelling at someone on the phone...she said " yeah we aren't in charge of that. We have nothing to do with that. You can just deal with it." I feel like this was very unprofessional. Later she was crying at the register. These are super easy to fill and fix...if you cared about it-which the blue haired gal and the brunette with the tall bum didn't seem to care about it. The 2 African Americans fellas shoveling snow were very nice. Ridiculously slow pumps.

This convenience shop was clean and organized on June 29, 2024, when I popped in for some Dr. Pepper (12-pack $9.39) & a can of Copenhagen Snuff ($8.69) for my cowboy. The attendants were awkward. Friendly when I initiated conversation, but just so into themselves and not welcoming when I came in. They also offer the following: + Gas / Diesel + ATM + Propane tank exchanges + Ice + Godfather Pizza (which I have yet to try, but it seems enticing)
