Pemex Matehuala Centro
Fuel Station
The main Pemex station in Matehuala sits right on Highway 57, the last guaranteed fuel stop before you tackle the winding mountain road up to Real de Catorce. Clean restrooms, decent convenience store, and they usually have both Magna and Premium. Gets busy with truckers but turnover is quick. Station attendants are used to overlanders asking about road conditions up the mountain.
Located on the main drag through town, easy in-and-out access for larger rigs. Open 24 hours, though the convenience store closes around midnight. Stock up on snacks and water here — there’s nothing reliable on the 23-kilometer climb to Real de Catorce.
