I think it's sage to say that the neighborhood folks miss the old owners (I know it's been a few years.... but still). I'm finally posting a review after hearing MULTIPLE stories similar to mine....and learning that this place steals from kids. When my daughter and her friend (who's African-American) were 11/12 years old, they went there to buy candy. The person working made my daughters friend stop and empty his pockets and accused him of stealing. He wasn't stealing. I contacted to owner about this situation and he basically said it is what it is. This location lost their ability to sell lottery tickets because of shady practices, and now when kids come in to shop they won't give them their change. They keep the money from these kids. Help be the change needed for these kids and go somewhere else. PS. the gas is over priced here anyways. read more

A gas station rarely even comes close to perfect, but this Valero hits all the marks in terms of providing a convenient neighborhood place to fill up both your ride and your body. On the convenience store side, they check all the boxes. All the treats. Icees. beer. Some coffee drinks I haven't tried but that were enough for other yelpers to specifically rave about. And they actually have nice people behind the counter who smile and provide good service. The gas side is certainly better than many pumps around town in that it's operational, cheaper (especially so if you pay cash) and has pumps that are regularly in good working order. Each time I stop in there is no line or wait and I'm out in a jiffy. So as far as gas stations are concerned...Land Park Valero, you can top me off anytime. read more

Valero - a gas station on the corner of a street - Gas Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Avoid. Rude clerks, an air compressor without any air pressure, missing price labels, and spoiled milk despite being within the expiration date (likely due to not keeping the refrigeration temp low enough to save money) are just a few of the bad experiences we've had since new ownership took over. read more

Is a very clean gas station the products are not outdated and the staff are very very very nice I'm impressed with this gas station because if I go into a dirty gas station I will not come there again but I will be coming back to this gas station because it's very clean the staff are very well trained and I'm impressed thank you this is retired sergeant major Howard stork United States Marine Corps read more

Not a fan of Valero gas. This gas station is on the smaller side compared to other gas stations. They accept cash and card -- but paying cash for gas is usually cheaper. The gas pumps are slow!! :( There is a mini food shop, so you can stop by to fill up on gas and go inside to pick up coffee and snacks if you need. There's also a restroom outside too. read more

Valero - Gas Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

Like a Phoenix, rising out of Arizona, Valero is BACK!!!! Not sure when opening day will be, looks to be real soon. My kids will once again be able to breath in the effervescent gasoline fumes wafting through the neighborhood. 6/27 - I drove by and saw that it is now OPEN!!!! I'm gonna go back in a few for a dozen slim jims and a giant dill pickle. read more

The owners are amazingly kind and always go above and beyond, throwing in an extra free thing, carrying ice out to your car, etc. I can't recommend enough. They have a nice beer and wine selection as well. read more

Important info first: They carry BEER. And ICEEs! Okay, so there are two Valero stations on Riverside, and this is the one closer to W. Land Park. The difference between the two is night and day. This Valero is super clean and well-appointed and the guys that work there are SUPER nice. Also they sell beer. One time, I needed a twelve pack but they only had two six packs so they sold them to me for the price of a twelve pack. Big thumbs up. The real star of the show is their ICEE machines. They have best sushies in the area and they take a lot of pride in their machines. I'm not even kidding. If you go in, ask about their experience bringing ICEE deliciousness to the masses. I try to buy one every time I stop there, if I have the time to go in and am feeling imbued with the physical robustness necessary to pound through syrup ice and wrangle with brainfreeze for half an hour. The things I do for science. Also, they have beer. Some of the neighbors were pissy about them getting a license to sell beer, but some of the neighbors also think 911 is customer service so who cares what they think? I, personally, appreciate that they carry beer. I also kind of appreciate pissing off my neighbors, so I want to point out as much as possible that they have beer. All hail the beer and ICEE kings of Land Park! read more

These new owners are not friendly people at all, these people will it help you at all. They are here to make money and not to help the community. The old owners did a really good job of being apart of the community. These guys are just outright rude. read more

The owner and the staff at this Valero provide the best customer service I've ever experienced at any establishment. I go out of my way to fill up here read more

The new owners of this gas station are absolutely delightful. They are so customer oriented and friendly it is truly astounding. What a wonderful asset to our neighborhood and to top it all off they have a great selection of wine. read more

Full service gas for seniors. Someone told me that they also don't sell vape products to keep it out of the hands of kids in the community.

New owners. Since the new owners came and I've been very patient. I am going there regularly like I used to. The place either smells like incense or BO. At first they were friendly. Overtime though they spend more time on their phone and ignoring your requests. I frequent that gas station often if not five days a week for gas and sports drinks for the kids. On the weekends of courses beer and wine. I stopped by 15 min before they closed. Doors lock and the guy inside told me to go away. My self and my family will not be going there anymore. I will be sure to tell all my neighbors as well. Done. Please note the owners before theses folks were amazing. read more

Super friendly customer service. Conveniently located in Land Park. Support local businesses!

My favorite gas station in town: - no waiting in line; - nice little food mart; - everything here is in operating condition; - relatively clean; - every pump is self serve and takes a credit/debit card; - tucked away in a safe neighborhood; - fairly decent unisex bathroom; not the cleanest I've seen but certainly not the worst; - station owner attentive and responsive to neighbor's concerns. They charge a penny or so more than the Valero down the street at Riverside/Broadway. Only the main three grades of gas here. No diesel or alternative fuels. Zero stars for gasoline and the oil industry in general. I still have to buy the evil stuff though. Sigh. read more

So this place shut down for a minute, but it's back in effect now under new ownership. The guy that owns the place and works here is real cool. He's extremely friendly and is basically someone I'd call my friend if I considered the local businesses my neighbors. Go in and have a chat with him. (He didn't even know why people buy single swishers. Actually, I'm almost surprised people in Land Park buy single swishers... must be the kids.) Anyways, there's no alcohol still, but that's ok with me. You can get lotto tickets, junk food, lost of cigarettes, sugar drinks galore and a few other standard gas station market items. read more

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS/LOCATION! AVOID AT ALL COST! So this is the private message that I received from someone (presumably the owner) - 14 hours ago. I will post my response as well. (As evidenced by their (owner/employee) private message to me, it appears that this proprietor has a very biased attitude towards other cultures, which aren't their own) Denny B. - FROM FRANCE You posted a very ridiculous review to Land Park Valero and you were also talking about being blond haired and blue eye? LOL well, where is wrote that blonde people doesn't steal? LOL Also, America is the most mixed place in the world and border with Mexico, 8 states of America was part of Mexico. America is the country with the less % of natural blonde compared any countries in Europe check on yahoo "RACIAL REALITY WHITE AMERICANS GEOCITIES" being blonde means nothing if you have an ancestry from a non Caucasian race. kim basinger, Cameron diaz, marylin Monroe, Patrick Swayze, chuck Norris are all blonde people with a cherokee ancestry, so they aren't pure white but mixed people. check on yahoo "one drop rule on Wikipedia" it doesn't matter if you have black,red or blonde hair, real white people are 100% Caucasian. My Response: Shannon b. OP - Wherever it is that you're from, it's quite apparent that you HAVE NOT taken advantage of their educational system. I tried in vain to comprehend and follow the nature of your comment, only to realize that it would be impossible to do so, due to the fact that your comment contained the ramblings of a person who is CLEARLY struggling with the concept of English language, more so, the act of composing a proper response, using said language. I'd suggest that you'd brush up on the proper techniques of responding intelligently, before attempting to bash someone's opinion, using illogical and quite frankly, incoherent responses and/or Wikipedia copy & paste. LOL - My co-worker made the comment, upon reading your pathetic attempt of a response, that your broken English sounds akin to that of one of the employee(s)/Owner(s) she encountered on a few occasions. FAIL! Sacramento is a very diverse city, and I take pride in living in a city that is culturally aware and respectful of other cultures. In the event that this is said employee(s)/owner(s): I, along with my coworkers and acquaintances, who have previously patronized your business (albeit, no longer) - Wish to inform you, as well as warn future customers of the following: Prices: F - $$$$$ (expect to be thoroughly gouged, as this store is taking advantage of the proximity of upper middle class neighborhoods, along with the proximity of state and privately owned businesses, catering to said demographic) Service: -F (Expect to be treated by the employee(s)/owner(s) as if the store is doing YOU a favor - Many, as well as myself, has noted on NUMEROUS occasion, the employee(s) speaking in their native language and laughing, while providing SLOW to NON-EXISTENT customer service to patrons) Do yourself a favor: AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COST! - Do yourself a favor and head back towards Broadway to patronize another station, one which appreciates and deserves your business! read more

Ever since the new owners have taken over this place has become a great little neighborhood store. The employees are friendly and the selection is nice. They have some European chocolates and candies that i don't see at any other places. Always a good experience read more

It's your standard gas station. The prices are not the cheapest in town, but when you need to fill up its close and convenient. It's located across the street from Vic's Ice Cream. At night time they play some generic radio station over the loud speakers, which can be annoying. read more

The owners are so nice! We come here for a snack with my preschool-aged son every weekend while my daughter is at gymnastics class, and they are his buddies now. He loves to come here. It's definitely not the closest gas station to us, but we make an effort to fill our tanks here when possible because they are so kind. read more

Recently moved a block away from this place and have so far found it convenient. During the first few visits I thought the clerk was going to yell "hurry up and buy" because he was watching me harder than the little curtained room at the adult store but after a few more visits, it seemed he realized that I had no desire to run off with a Monster and a bag of Cheetos. Other than that small bump in the racial profiling road, everything has been A-Ok with this small, clean and well organized establishment. read more

I don't know about Zombie Free, the guy behind the counter was less than enthusiastic. I've been to better Valeros, but then again there is better gas than Valero. read more

I love having this station tucked into Land Park by Vic's Ice Cream. The owners are nice friendly people who take pride in the upkeep of their establishment. It's nice to fuel up your car and not have to deal with stinky garbage cans and dirty floors in the store. Besides being clean, they recently put a top notch slushy machine inside that saves me from having to drive all the way to 7 Eleven when my kid is bugging me for one. Now the place sells beer, which is a big convenience. Track 7, Guinness, Sierra Nevada. They got most the good ones! Now if I could just hit the Power Ball here, I would really like it. read more
