Mesa Marin Pit Stop Market

Don’t try calling them to order a pizza. It’s a war trying to get them to answer the phone. The pizza is good though

Nothing too special about this place, except that they make a great breakfast burrito.

Arrived to pump gas and went through the process to pump gas when I was told to go in to process card. Inside I was told that the regular was not working and to move my car. After pumping my gas, I told them they should have a sign that regular is not working. She smother at me.

Last chance for gas before the end of the canyon.
They only have 4 pumps. Which is efficient when they’re charging you both arms and both legs.

This is a Chevron gas station and food mart. The gas prices here are a little high but they are right on 178 and if I’m not mistaken they are the last chance for gas until lake Isabella if you are going up the canyon so you can’t really complain. I’ve been stopping here to fill up on my way home from my parents’ house for years; the convenience alone makes it worth the few extra cents per gallon.
A couple years ago while I was filling up a nice new truck pulled up on the other side and I noticed that the driver had a fresh swastika tattoo on his neck. That doesn’t really have anything to do with the gas station but it reminded me why I got the hell out of Bakersfield the first chance I had and was a warning that all the people that have been telling me that things have changed around town are exaggerating.
The service is always friendly and they stock the 24 ounce sugar free Rockstar to keep me alert on the long drive home.
