Akal Travel Center, Santa Rosa NM

Truckers. 15 dollar parking or fuel purchase, no amount listed. Expired product milk 3 days past exp and diet soda 4 months past. Top of drink case is coated in dust. Saw sign advertising fresh or handmade burritos. Only reason I stopped. Microwaved burritos with rice gone mushy. Entrance is kinda janky. Post 2/19/24

Very rude unprofessional people, restrooms are nasty the food look like it had been sitting out all night. Run away from this place

I've been stopping here for years, thousands of dollars in receipts from them on my taxes. Bathroom has always been nasty. Smells worse than vomit. Urine in a river to a puddle at the urinal. I've never complained or left a negative review.

My 2nd stop there of the day (yesterday) will be my final. Not only does their diesel seem to plug my fuel filter, but it also makes my truck get worse mileage, though it is 20 cents a gallon cheaper than other options.

The big straw that broke the camels back was the elderly man working there (owner) informed he did not need my business, and not to stop there when asking why he did not give a receipt for the cash paid until after it was pumped.

To the young man who works in the afternoon (at least on 1/28/2024 in the afternoon) who was very friendly and chatted about their friendly dog that likes to play fetch, I want you to know, your kindness and friendly personality is a breath of fresh air for this place. My you have a blessed life.

No Parking on side not even for parking 30 minutes someone can to me to town me if i dont move. No blocking just they dont like it. If you don't want no one here dont sale diesel.ice-cream 5 dollars overpriced

I highly recommend staying away from this station for your own safety because it may erupt in a ball of fire one day.

I have traveled around the US pretty extensively and encountered a first here - the automatic pump doesn't shut off when the tank is full. Caused a large gasoline spill. I informed the cashier who grunted in response. Apparently the attendant told someone else it was my fault for being "on the phone" which is a lie, my phone was dead, but irrelevant regardless - the pump is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced!

Gas prices were way more than advertised, the price showed on apps as $2.66 but price was $3.59 at the pump, restrooms were totally disgusting as well!

Fuel is cheap.that about all that is good other than the staff. If it wasn't for the friendly staff I just wouldn't stop because this place is a pit. I can honestly say it's the most run down truck stop I have been to west of the Mississippi even with the new fuel pumps. I love the signs that say you can only park if you get fuel and the other one.no bucky if your gonna get lucky. It's something along those lines. The owner must be a real scumbag that only cares about money and not the guys driving.

This place is absolutely disgusting! Do not give these pieces of human garbage another cent. Force them to go back to their own country and the sooner the better. They don’t speak English and so they couldn’t even tell me how to buy a parking pass when I told them I didn’t have one. They are simply a bunch of extortionists and will come bother you when you are trying to rest. I’m not one that would usually say this but this country would be so much better without these types of people here. Seriously go back in the hole you all crawled out of.

I stopped here last night to have some tea, after i stopped the store owner came up to me, he abused me verbally regarding the garbage near my truck which was not mine and was already there and he made me clean it by abusing me and saying i stopped at his private property.he was very rude and abusive.i really had bad experience at his restaurant.will never get any food from here

This place is not open 24 hours there’s a 4wheeler and a truck parked to block the front door. I just needed water for my dog and there’s not even an outside hose. Why pay $15 to park if the store isn’t opened. Greed is this world’s motivation!

Not a good place for much of anything. It if most anything I like to drink. Got burrito, and found out after I was on the road it was not even edible. Well not so here again

Worst truck stop I've ever been in in my life! This place is absolutely disgusting! There were flies everywhere, out of the 2 stalls and 1 urinal in the men's room, only one worked and it smelled worse than some Porta John's, the parking lot is a wreck and they expect you to get fuel or pay $15 to park. Never again will I come here!

I fueled up and drove around and parked about 12: 30. Some guy comes beating on my truck at 20: 00 wanting to see me fuel receipt or go pay $15 for parking. For starters, I'm sleeping. I'm on my 10. You don't wake people up. I took my receipt out of the garbage and showed him and told him I'll never come back. I will never give them another dime of my money. I say avoid this place.

Only stop for the fuel! The drinks have a layer of dust and are expired by a year! I did not know this and went in to go to the bathroom.big mistake. The ladies stall has a door that is wide open and no way to close it. No paper towels and extremely gross. Like, hover and pee because you can't hold it any longer type of gross. When I got back to the truck and realized the soda was flat and out of date by over a year, I took it back in, was instructed to get a different one. Nope every drink they have is out of date! When I told the lady this and politely asked for a refund she said no refund just go get a different one. After explaining to her that there were none in date she said she just got them yesterday and that's not right. She went in the cooler and came back mad at me because they are ALL out of date! She went to the register and threw $2 on the counter and says here just go. Check your dates when stopping here!

Cheaper diesel than everyone else, super friendly, free coffee with fillips most of the time.

I’m Never one to write a review, especially a bad one. But bought a soda here about an hour ago and just got a notification from my bank that my card was charged $48 there a minute ago. Also my boyfriend said there were feces and blood on the bathroom floor

Akali needs to realize that putting up a sign and charging for parking is like having a sign that says go away. They don't even have security, good lighting, paved parking or anything else to offer.

Only place in the country where you can pump diesel fuel into the truck and DEF at the same time, it really helps
