I would like to see it in daytime. Maybe even try out the Mexican. They need to put in self-serve fuel

Great place for both 100LL and Human Fuel (on airport Mexican cafe).
If you're there at night during late summer, watch out for mosquitoes - they are huge and have a big appetite (I had quite the cabin cleanup after smashing a dozen or so).
