“It's my favorite store. This town...is very small. Yes. HOWEVER, I will drive from the Estates in Los Lunas just to come to this one. The Speedway in Los Lunas....they finally kickin in too. That location was a real problem. Thank you new management.! (Or to whom ever is responsible )”
“I pulled in here, but saw that gas was two cents cheaper across the street. I knew I could get an additional two cents off across the street with Gas Buddy, so I went across the street. But this place looked nice.”
“Possibly my favorite gas station in the land, thanks to the gentleman who (by all appearances) is there ALWAYS behind the counter to greet you with a pleasant and helpful demeanor. I have heard him fluently speak 3 or 4 languages to his patrons, so give it a try! Thanks A!”
“Fast checkout clerks, good prices on fuel, and an air compressor that works. For a very small gas station they have a lot of options for drinks&snacks. The only downside is it can get crowded when busy.”
“So this random thing happened to me right now. I was washing my hands in the men's restroom at the Pilot on I-25 on Broadway. I reached in to my pocket to make sure I had my wallet in my pocket to make sure I didn't leave it in my truck. As I pulled my hand out, somehow my truck keys came out flying out of my pocket and landed right in the trash bin. If you're familiar with the Flying J/ Pilot restrooms, you know you can't pull out the trash cans out cause they're inside the wall and you you only have access to them through the storage area.I went and asked for assistance on retrieving my keys. A gentleman employee by the name of Victor came and helped. He tried to grab them from inside the trash bin but couldn't find them. He went through the storage area, pulled out the trash bin and sifted through the trash until he found my keys. As if he wasn't helpful enough, he offered to disinfect and clean my keys before he handed them back to me. What an amazing person for assisting in recovering my keys. Victor was friendly, kind and very polite. I thought he was just going to give me access to the trash bin and let me dig in the trash for them, but he didn't. Your kindness, Victor, was greatly appreciated. And by the way, the men's restrooms were very clean and organized. So is the rest of the store. They also have a McDonald's at this stop(bery. So come in and if you see Victor in there, say hello!”
“The manager, Lendee, is beyond amazing! She is always so friendly and helpful and always has a smile on her face. She's the whole reason I will stop there and give that place my business. Even though it is a clean and well stocked place, the gas is a bit higher than other places. Thank you Lendee!!!”
“When I lived in Albuquerque I shopped Smiths all the time. Don't have a Smiths in Belen. Their prices have gone up so much that I can't afford them and the trip.”
“I love getting my gas here, quick, easy, in and out! And I love Amy, she's the best cashier at Murphys! Personality plus, always happy, gives the best service! Thank you Murphys, and Amy!”
“Delilah (sp??) Is such a delight! Her attention, energy to guests and her ability to remember guest orders is inviting! She makes you feel WELCOMED IN!. I just started returning to this Speedway about a month ago, after a VERRRRY LONG hiatus, due to sketchy employees. I have now become a "regular" because of HER! Absolute asset! Great hire! I only wish I knew her last name...but I'm fairly certain...there may be only 1 Delilah (sp?) . She is the "poster woman" of customer service!”
“Might be corny... but I feel I need to leave a review for Allsup's Chimichangas!! I lived on these when I was in my 20's and commuting to college. So delicious, quick and cheap. Just make sure they are fresh! Definitely a staple in New Mexico.”
“I go in the middle of night to the los lunas location and their is homeless every were living and sleeping on park benchs across the street and they must live behind and there's a bunch of them that I guess from what I can see live behind the allsup's location and I don't mean in the house I mean behind the building I like to one night because from the day you got pictures at work there and are rude and sometimes just Beyonce smoking there you say you're smoking marijuana but I have to say the location in Los lunas during the night there is a lady with long brown hair older and is very helpful”
“The night shift guy was most helpful and very cheerful. I stopped to use the car wash but it was offline. So I bought some Clorox wipes and they cleaned the windshield which was covered in sap. Because of the time of night, the place was empty and the night guy talked with me about my trip. It was a lovely way to come back home. ?”

Love's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
