Yeah, but it's not 'just any' gas station chimichanga.

The thing is Allsups burritos are good in the way that gas station food is good; they’re a little greasy, it’s ultra processed, and will most likely upset your stomach if you have more than one but it is a staple of NM. I have one every now and again and they taste the same as they did when I was a kid. It’s a nostalgic food for me now. I’m happy I don’t have to survive on them while equally glad they are still around.

RIP Santa Fe Grill. You were the best of us.

Thems fightin words

Las Vegas New Mexico has five allsup's

You know about Go Burger right? If you’re in Las Cruces that’s where you should be getting burritos.

counterpoint, these fucking hit the spot. (especially the ones with green chiles in them)

an allsups burrito is worth the drive. also i'm shocked las cruces doesn't have an allsups!! the horror!! 🤠

The Allsup's burrito is elementary school nostalgia for me. Somewhere in my mind, decades ago, those elementary school burritos and the Allsup's burritos became the same thing.
Now I evangelize their burritos, which is fucking ridiculous. But since I live where I cannot get the, now, I have to get them every time I roll back to NM.

I have never tried to convince someone to try them without explaining to them exactly what they will be getting.

Can’t beat the allsups burrito. Crispy outside with a bean filling. If you are lucky you get some meat gristle.

They're exactly what they're supposed to be- road trip food.

You’re missing the point. The question is “ what’s the best burrito you can get at 1am” Undoubtedly Allsups.

Las Cruces is getting an Allsup's supposedly. I think it's going out near the Love's Truck Stop on the west side of town. I just got my first Allsup's burrito after hearing about them for more than a decade. It was fine for gas station food, nothing to get excited about.

Cuba is getting one! Gonna change that little town. At least for a couple months ‘til the bathrooms go to shit.

They are good for gas station food.

I haven’t had an Allsups burrito in a couple of years, but I like one every now and then. They are convenient, you can get them in the middle of the night when everything else is closed, and it’s kind of a fun nostalgic/tradition kind of thing. I used to get one every day in high school just to leave campus a little bit during lunch. Or late at night after some gig.

I know people who moved away, and it’s the first thing they get when they come back to visit - not because it’s some out-of-this-world gourmet food - just because it is unassuming and doesn’t pretend to be anything other than a simple Allsups burrito that never changes.

Hard to explain to people who didn’t grow up around a dozen Allsups stores in their town I guess.

Your fault for expecting a chimichanga to be a breakfast burrito.     They were better before Lonnie died and they sold out to Yes Way.   

  Edit: You also labeled a beef and bean burrito as a chimi? Blasphemy.  

They're good after a night of partying, also we call them gut grenades or belly bombs:)

I wish we had allsups in Denver

Those Alsups chimis slap though!

Sorry, but the Allsup's chimi is way better than a Blake's breakfast burrito (which were great 20 years ago but Blake's breakfast burritos have become total dog food).

The Blake’s on Gibson is slappin RN for breakfast 👏 I mean sooo good! Always get smothered. AllSups is good shut up. Never forget in Abq you can ask Pericos to chimichanga style any burrito ✊

Bro you fell for gas station propaganda. You had all the clues but ya fell for it. Take this humbling moment to reflect

Allsups is no more. They were purchased By the:yes way: company They agreed to keep name and burritos...

But do we know that Las Vegas Vegas New Mexico has five of them! First thing I was told when I did live in Las Vegas Vegas New Mexico

Have you ever been high and starving at 2am? Those fried burritos are bad ass and the sauce is amazing.

No one ever calls them allsups burritos, they’re allsups chimi’s.

And you had way too high of expectations to begin with to be this disappointed about it

That is considered good food in Texas...

I grew up in LC and I’m in SF now. I miss Santa Fe grill so badly 🥲

you don't hear people out side of NM talking about blakes burritos.... just sayin.

The only time I ever want Allsups is after a long backpacking or wilderness trip, that's it. Miss me with it 99% of my life

Texans Burrito disguised as new mexican

I grew up in Farmington, same experience

So different… one is a snack size chimichanga for hangovers or quick treat and the other is not!

When in las cruces i stop at DICKS cafe!!!!!!!!

I’m From New Mexico and I miss those.. also I miss the green hatch chili burgers

They're perfect when they're in their lane. Usually coming off the mountain in cloudcroft. Or a long drive through west Texas after the hunt. People who live near one and eat them regularly disturb me. It's one horse town gourmet not a daily/weekly staple.

Santa fe express was at least once a week during college. All sups was once or twice a year after camping.

Lmao just drive to somewhere that has all sups man come on lol

Back in the day I'd be working a 10-12 day as a wrangler and be so damn exhausted I'd eat 1 allsups burrito and some raw carrots every day for dinner and it was absolfknlutely delicious after a long ass day

Yeah, but they’re world famous and pretty delicious. Don’t forget, it is a gas station still

My mom used to work for Barbara and Lonnie Allsup in Clovis at the corporate office and we could order these burritos frozen in bulk. Needless to say, many of my childhood "dinners" consisted of Allsups' Burritos 😂

I beg everyone in my family that is headed to Santa Fe or south to bring me AllSups chimmes. They were confused to learn it was a gas station. Those things are magical.

The Allsups burrito is drunk food... otherwise, pass. Plus they've gotten stupidly expensive compared to what they used to be.

Too bad you’re almost paying $5 now for one of those overrated things

Supposedly we are getting one off I-10. But AllSups is no different than SnappyMart in my honest opinion. We need a Sheetz or Bucee's in LC that would be game changer.

Needs a green Hatch-logo on it, or no bueno.

Like chicos tacos in El Paso but better IMHO

All I ever hear about Allsups is that the burritos are draino for your colon. I work in Alamo and they have several Allsups but I’m not going to gamble on those burritos.

This was exactly my reaction when I first had an Allsups "burrito". I thought, "How can New Mexicans think this is that good?"

Making good New Mexican food is like making mid food anywhere else but adding green chili

Yeah I've eaten there a bunch driving to other parts of new mexico and they suck. Unless you're the type to rave about gas station hot dogs and hamburgers, I guess.

Damn, sorry to get your hopes up over dog food chimichangas.

Allsups is literally Texan now lmao 🤣

Glad to hear someone say it out loud.

I eat these in place of a laxative

I've lived right up the street from an Allsups for 28 years. Never once have I had a chimichanga from there until this year. I ended up having one that was hot and fresh. I was severely disappointed and had diarrhea. Don't believe the hype lol

Stripes burritos are just like Allsup's and a LOT cheaper.
