    a display of snacks and drinks
    Donn D.

    Ga was inexpensive here, relatively speaking, but the pumps were crazy busy. Don't pull off here if you are just waning to make a phone call or send a text though as there is no cell reception in this valley. I mentioned this to the guy behind the counter who jokingly said "That's the white man or you, still gaping us natives down." I was amused as he was white as could be. The bathrooms were cleanish I suppose. Plenty of drinks and snacks are available.

    This is a nice travel center which includes a gas station and a small dinner and an adjunct to a small casino area that has a security posted at the door at all times. The station looks clean and customer service is great. The staff is really nice and helpful overall. The sopapillas are delicious and cooked when you order. Prices are reasonable and affordable. They also sell lottery tickets at Thai location.

    Not a bad mid sized truck stop, service was a bit cold in the store. Restaurant was nothing special. Food was good but nothing to brag about. Ordered chili cheese fries and assumed I was getting normal chili on it but it came out with a chili red sauce ( wasn't very good! Don't recommend). Country fried steak was good ( had better had worse) but nothing tasted like it was made in house! Potatoes tasted like Bob Evans from the store. In all take it or leave it.

    Decent food decent prices better than I expected at a travel center. For me it was nothing amazing but it's a great place to stop for a quick bite that isn't expensive and better than fast food. Service was also good the staff was friendly and you can seat yourself. The green chile was hotter than the red but I did enjoy both. Until I try more on the menu and test consistency I will update my review.

    Indian taco (fry bread with chicken, pinto beans, Green Chile, lettuce and tomato's)

    The food is bland, but great if you're on a no salt diet. Good luck if your waitress actually gives a hoot.

    I felt slightly embarassed to not have tried Allsup'sburritos (e.g. chimichanga) for the past years…read morethat I lived in NM! I was recently in Santa Fe running errands and really stopped by Allsup because I just needed an hour to kill. I figured I would grab some snacks to eat...and decided to stop by a gas station that was nearby..and..surprisingly discovered Allsup's burritos for the first time!! I had a green chile and cheese burrito with a cold bottle fo soda..and...wow...I was so hooked that I was debating going in there to get a second burrto! It was so good to the point I had to look up Allsup's burrito online and that was when I discovered the whole cult following Allsup's burrito. Pro tip: the one that people usually talk about are beef and beans ones...but..I swear..I loved the green chile and cheese so much that I don't even think about trying other flavors! They do have other flavors like beef & beans, chicken and green chile and chicken and beans(?) as well. The only one star was..if you were to buy a burrito on its own, you pay close to $4 for one, which, in my mind, is expensive (esp for a gas station food!). I happened to beg the gas station manager to get the $5 soda/burrito combo, which usually only applied to pepsi & beef and beans burrito. Go try this! The next time I pass by Allsup, you bet I'm not necessarily stopping by for gas or restroom...but all for their burritos!!

    Omg! ThIs store smells SO BAD! You can smell the rancid frying oil from OUTSIDE the store before…read moreenrering! And when you leave, you smell like bad grease! It is entrenched in you, the bags, the goods, your clothes. I approached the Manager about this and she shrugged the issue off as she always does. She is clearly more concerned about her appearance, which is presentable, than being a manager & listening to customer concerns. It appears that she's more concerned about her nails and hair than her responsibilities to the store. Just saying owners... Fyi..none of the other Allsup's in this city has the odor that this one has!

    OUT OF TOWN FOLKS BEWARE…read more I wondered about this place not having any signs of the cost of the merchandise and was told that the reason is so that there is more interaction between the gust and sales . However, in order to get any kind of interaction with the sales people you must wait in the long line and then they'll let you know the price of the item . This is not a good conveyance for the customer who's asking how much is this , unless you wait in line! I don't think this is a good way for interaction with the customer. Infact it's a hassle to wait in a long line for an answer on the product for sale . SO OUT OF TOWN FOLKS BEWARE!!! I will not be back due to the lack of service and customer concern ! Your only interaction is to have to wait in a long line . So I would strongly advise that the people FROM OUT OF TOWN to JUST drive about 5-6 miles further east on the frontage road / old 66 jto get to the smiths where you can see the price of everything! If this is a sales tactic, I ITS REALLY RIDICULOUS WHEN THE SALES PERSON DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH A ITEM COST IS of a product and tells you to get in line! How is that any kind of good " INTERACTION BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE SALES PEOPLE?!?! so I would hope that they do something like PUT THE PRICE OF THE MERCHANDISE AND STOP THIS nonsense. Who knows how many people are getting OVERCHARGED for an item .... I know from experience that they have all their products marked up by a lot of extra money that some people can't afford. So MUCH FOR CUSTOMER INTERACTION AND HAVING TO WAIT TO SEE THE PRICE OF SOMETHING. I will not stop there ever again due to the lack of knowledge and customer service .... SO OUT OF TOWN FOLKS , DRIVE ABOUT 6-7 MINUTES FURTHER ON OLD 66 TO THE SMITHS . SMITHS EVEN IF CLOSED , GAS PUMPS ARE ALWAYS WORKING AND ATLEAST YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE PAYING..... It made me give a star in order to proceed with this. I'd give it not even a half a star !!!!

    This place was a Gem the staff was so kind and great to talk with, the gas station was easy in and…read moreout and clean. They have a massive selection of drinks and snacks, it's overall a very cute place to stop and chat.
