Definitely stay away from this place Im not sure which is worse the staff the food or the customer service. The donuts are day old and so are the eggs. Half the time you dont get what you ask for and when telling staff that they act like a monster and tell you thats not what they are hearing. If you can help it dont eat at this place because you dont get your moneys worth and is definitely not a nice environment for children! And mind you I have been a customer of theirs for years now and over the past year it has substantially gone down so be careful!!!
I can tell you the ppl who have written reviews about the service are the type of ppl who want to ask a million questions as if they’ve never ordered tacos before and hold up the line. The staff is NOT rude and if you are clear with what you want to order your order WILL BE correct. I’ve only discovered this place less than 3 months ago and have gone at least 7-10 times and not one error in any of the items I’ve ordered. Everything is great, don’t listen to the negative reviews; those folks aren’t even commenting on the food because they know it’s amazing! One review even says someone got their order wrong every single time but yet had been going there for 6 months straight ?? …Must not have been that disappointed if they continued going back for that long. I recommend the bean and cheese taco and the nopales and egg taco. You will love anything you order here!
Used to be really good. Now, the chocolate frosting has a weird, almost onion, flavor. I’ve called them and let them know, but here we are, second weekend in a month, with a nasty chocolate-onion donut. Yuck. Guess we will find a different place. The kolaches are still fine at least.
This place is great and hidden. Breakfast tacos for under $2. And they are fully loaded. The ladies at the counter are very nice and fast. They also have doughnuts and coffee. If you are in a hurry and want something that is fast, cheap AND good, this is the place. It’s a small place so dining in is probably ok, but to go is best.
The breakfast tacos here are great! I have only had the chorizo/egg/potato but they have been fresh and delicious every time. Be careful when you order ahead, there are 2 locations!
Terrible customer service, lady was extremely rude.... definitely will not be coming back here.
Maybe tell the girl at the register to keep her mask on and not chew her fingers repeatedly then touch everything.... We didnt even go in because we could see this happening with a costumer in there.
Relatively standard donuts for the most part, but the blueberry donut is truly remarkable! Next time Ill just get a dozen of those. Service is great and good prices.
I’ve never met a staff more rude than the 2 young ladies working the front of this place. The food is sub par and not worth the money.
Specialized my tacos, made to order and they were delicious 😋😋😋. Then the donuts were off the chain Good!!!
Amazing every time! Fresh savory and sweet treats that I cant get enough of. Get there early! Theyre really popular (for good reason) and they may run out of your favorite(s)!
Love this place, i know this is called donut palace but the tacos and kolachies are always fresh and more importantly delicious and the main reason I go. The donuts are good too butnim.not big on eating donuts.. You will not be dissapointed when you sink your teeth into any of the food here.Enjoy!
Horrible experience. I will never go here again. They didn’t put in part of order in my bag and when I called he wouldn’t refund my credit card. Then he said it was “my problem”. That was the owner too. Never getting my business again.
Id give 0 stars if I could. All of their staff is new and theyre terrible. Today, I watched three customers walk back in because their orders were wrong. I get my very simple order and walk out the door. I take it home and every single taco is wrong. But guess what? We cant eat a single one of them because the people in my house that dont eat dairy, got dairy, and the people in my house that dont eat meat got meat. Ive never had a order that was this wrong. Not a single taco was correct. Plus I dont have time to go back because they had a line of about 10 people by the time I left. The reason they had a line is they are so slow. I cannot bring myself to go here again. Hopefully they get their act together.
Git Some! Of this awesome local eatery. Nice service, great food, and support for a local small business! Its a win-win all around!
Went to this donut shop a few times. The first time I got a donut and it tasted like a nail salon. I thought maybe it was a fluke and went back a second time and got a donut that tasted perfectly fine and another that yet again tasted like a nail salon. It’s a hit or miss.
Love the doughnuts especially the Kolaches and they are so friendly this is my favorite place
Literally every SINGLE time I have gone here (about once a week for the past 6 months) my order is wrong. Like completely wrong. We make sure to repeat very clearly what we want every time, and EVERY time we get home the tacos are wrong. We have never once gotten what we have paid for. Absolutely do not recommend.
Get the donut taco its great.
I love their Tacos & Kolaches. As for the people working, I like them all.
The staff were friendly and the tacos were out of this world! They make the tacos hot and fresh. I also loved the donuts.
Great prices and excellent doughnuts. I had the croissant kolache and it was enjoyable. Their buttermilk doghnuts are very tasty as well. ^^
Donuts here are a hit or miss. It may taste good or it may taste like a nail salon. Not sure how they get the nail salon taste in but they succeeded.
Atmosphere: Typical walk-up doughnut counter, but with breakfast tacos as well.Service: On the slow side today at 11:00.Food: Not terrible, but not very good. Out of the 7 we purchased only the iced cake was good. It was fresh, moist with good flavor.Pricing: very reasonable
I love tacos and they gave me tacos at a good price. A lot of places just put a in there Taco plain and simple but they took the time to season it possibly with salt and pepper or cookie in some bacon grease was very delicious.
Tasty, quick and friendly. Once we start singing the song we have to go. Tacos AND donuts, put a donut hole or 3 on your taco, its good. My favorite is the potato egg n cheese and a bag of donut holes to share with everyone I meet.
I really wanted to give 5 stars but they needed to change the oil in the machine. It was unfortunately rancid and we couldnt finish the donuts we brought home.
All I know is if I was a starving level 15 Barbarian. I would probably slaughter anyone in mu way to get some of that deliciousness that is called Donut Taco Palace ||
Kolaches are delicious! Staff is really nice.
Great donuts and tacos
The donuts here used to be AMAZING. They even had middle finger donuts. (Yes, glazed donuts shaped like a middle finger)Now the donuts are just average. Their glazed are still great but their variety of donuts has dwindled down to basically glazed, sprinkle donuts, and a few other choices.Now, having said that, their breakfast tacos are still EXCELLENT. Especially their mexican style taco!
The breakfast tacos and croissants are terrific and the coffee is fabulous
The best kolaches in town
This place is absolutely amazing! Tacos, donuts, coffee. Fast service and friendly staff.
Fabulous chocolate covered chocolate cake donut. Lattes are from a machine but still delicious. The taco Donuts are intriguing but I had already had breakfast. I will have to give it a try later. Seems like a popular place.
Kinda pricey for a donut shop in my opinion but the coffee is strong and the food is great. Recently tried their pastor tacos and was very pleasantly surprised.
This place is amazing! The food is top and the ladies running the place are fantastic and efficient. Ive never had a bad experience at this location. Keep up the great work!!!
I dont know when or how people are getting this supposed great service, every time we have been in here, the women at the counter have treated us like were annoying them. Sorry for coming in to buy donuts, I guess??
They were super fast, and very sweet. I even forgot my drinks and they came out running after me to give them to me. How awesome!
Love this place so much! Customer service is superb, tacos are delicious and are all for a great price! This is my go-to breakfast taco place on weekend mornings!
Absolutely love Donut Taco Palace! It has become my favorite breakfast spot. The ladies are very sweet, fast & the food is delicious. The variety & location are a plus. Try the B,E&C croissant, jelly-filled donut holes & tacos.
Very good donuts
Its so tasty. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. The bill was fair. I can see why they have a lot of great reviews.
They have the best breakfast tacos!
Good customer service but too many flies including one that was glazed over on a Kolache. Perhaps invest in clear, closed compartments to store the food.
These were honestly some of the worst donuts I have ever had the displeasure of consuming. They were spongey and gross. Not sweet at all. Tasted like a donut and a twinkie had a baby but it turned out all wrong. The service was good though. She was very nice. But these donuts are disgusting.
Almost never have my favorite: cinnamon-sugar cake donuts. But, they def make one of the best light, mouthwatering, regular glazed donuts around here. And they have a wide selection of eggy-meaty type breakfast foods (on a tortilla, on a croissant, in a roll, etc) that are pretty good, not as good as the donuts, but they tasty.
These are the best breakfast croissants Ive ever had. The donuts are pretty good too. But its mainly popular for the breakfast tacos, which my wife likes a lot.
Ever since Ive lost faith in the next door Taco Cabana, this is my go to place. Great service, nice food, clean environment.All around a good time.
Breakfast croissant is soo good
I come here all the time and food is good and the same girl is usually there. Today sadly will be my last time. There was a second girl in there today that was rude and told me I couldnt bring my service animal in. Disrespectful to those who served this country and still feel the effects.
Delicious large selection of tacos and breakfast items!❤️
Love this place! Great selection of donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos. No vegan food options, but plenty of vegetarian options
These are the best breakfast tacos around! Huge menu with every kind of taco you could desire to kick off your day, and the woman behind the counter are always friendly and provide service with a smile. Best yet, they cost only $1.50 each!! While you are there, you can even pick up some of the tastiest donuts around.
Good tacos and cinnamon rolls bigger than your head. What more could we ask for...
First time here and the food and service were amazing!! Will definitely be returning customers!!
Food is great, clean facilities, theyre quick q orders and all of the employees are nice people.
Never had anything but the breakfast tacos, but the tacos deserve five stars. Under two bucks per taco is a def plus.
I love this place. Cheap delicious donuts and kolaches. I am told that the kolaches dont have as much cheese as shipleys, but the donuts here are much cheaper. Plus you have breakfast tacos that are packed full. Who doesnt love breakfast tacos?
Great donuts, but watch it when you order to go donuts. They are not supposed to tax you but they always do.
Sweets very delicious sweets.
Their food is really good and reasonably priced
Love this place always friendly
I usually stop 3 or 4 times a week to grab a fresh donut...or a breakfast taco...food is always fresh and employees are awesome..I work at jiffy lube across the parking lot...this place is a awesome !!!!
The WORST customer service in Austin! Ive been working the service industry in Austin for over 5 years, and I have never seen such a lack of care or concern for the customer experience. Even though the restaurant closes at 1, theres a big sign on the wall Kitchen closes at 12:30. No big deal – except the kitchen almost always closes before noon. (3rd time in a row this has happened) Why would they have a sign that is obviously a lie? No reason, they just feel like it. Blatant lack of care or concern. Dont know who or what manages this store, yet every time I have kindly asked to speak to a manager, there is never a manager there. And they never know when he will be back, today tomorrow or the next week – Oh, he just comes and goes as he pleases. Dont really know when hell be in. I will NEVER be returning to this store, and neither should you come here – there are plenty of other MUCH better options in this same strip mall. Thundercloud subs (local, healthy, GREAT service) is just a few doors down. Right next to it is Independence Fine Foods – more expensive, but WAY better quality of food and WAAAAY better service. Heck, I would even recommend the Dominos in the same strip mall over Donut Taco Palace. At least they show a slight concern for customer experience. And lets be totally honest – compared to all of the other breakfast tacos in Austin, their tacos ARE NOT GOOD. Cheap, bland, and often cold (because if they ever have any tacos, theyve been sitting there for who knows how many hours) I would highly recommend checking out any other local breakfast or lunch joint rather than Donut Taco Palace
Open 0500 to 1300 this place has so many breakfast tacos to choose from and are made fresh. I had 2 and was stuffed. Not to mention there donuts smelled and looked in house made. I will be going back.
The staff appears nice enough and the food is great. However, it appears to be poorly managed. They post their hours as 5am-1pm. In the 10 times I attempted to drop in at 5am. They have only been open once and even then they opened the doors about 10 mins after 5 and they did not have much of anything prepared. They always appeared to be frantically running around...They seem to never have their sh*t together. And they actually close at 12pm or at least thatswhat they told me when I stopped in once a little after 12pm.They should never, ever change their recipes/menu. However, changing management is a different story and/or changing their posted hours to 6am-12pm.
Not much variety of doughnuts. Apple fritter was not completely cooked. Egg and bacon taco was okay. Disappointing.
Good place to grab a good breakfast on the go.
Great breakfast tacos, great kolaches, great donuts. Its like Gods vacation spots here... on earth...In Texas... and decided to have them all in the greater Austin area.
The best donuts in town with friendly employees!
I just heard of this Super Mario World level today! I thought there was only 96 exits though. I go to Texas ever Thanksgiving break I must play this level. I here it is a re skin of one of the donut plains levels. The koopers are tacos and the goombs are now donuts. Might see some day!
Anthony Martello, I have a question for you! If you actually look around there is no sign that says they close the kitchen at 12:30, plus its their store and you dont know how busy they get. People get tired and as for AGAIN being their store, they can close down the kitchen when they please. People they are actually great even when people like you complain about little things like a so-called sign. If you dont like their food then why continue to come back? In all honestly, you made yourself look dumber than you already sound for complaining about a sign. Lol.
Great tacos and great doughnuts. The staff here are friendly and theyve got a good song thats about this place by the shiny ribs.
Avoid the fancy coffee products; they ooze from a machine. The bread products are fantastic, though.
Youll find some good kolaches and klobásník here.
Great all around !!! A must hole in the wall.
I never knew that I had a sprirital homeland until I found this place. TDPII changed me. I was visiting Austin and didn’t know what barbacoa was. I ordered it because it seemed fun to say. I didn’t know my life was about to be ruined by this delicious meal. I had to go back to the barbacoa-less wasteland of my hometown. I long to return to Austin and visit TDP again. I’m going back to the city in April and this is one of the first things on my itinerary.
Go early. They run out fast because theyre amazing!
Kitchen closes at 1230 in case youre cruising around looking for breakfast tacos. If you dont eat pork becareful, they may switch ur bean witb bacon
I eat here about twice a week. Fast service, friendly staff and none of the food has ever disappointed me.
I got the bacon croissant one day and had to go back to get it again the next because I kept thinking about it
I wish they made the tacos to order but goodt for what they are
Good stuff but kinda pricey.
If you need to get your junk food eat on, this is the place to go! Sinfully delicious food, good service.
Some of the best tacos in this city.
I look forward to a return trip. Prices are reasonable.
Amazing bfast tacos and delicious donuts. Pls build a store in San Antonio too!
Pretty good kolaches and donuts
So much better than the national chain donut place.
Best breakfast tacos I have had.
Breakfast tacos every morning, chorizo is great, sausage egg are my favorite!
Cheap and delicious. Also easy parking
Really great doughnuts. Many convenient location around Austin.
The best breakfast tacos in the area!
Very cheap, very fast tacos, donuts, kolaches and more.
