I must say that the two young gentlemen and young female working the front have some of the best customer service skills around. Today I ordered tortas and I must of not been clear. I received my order so I explained we needed more, and they kindly made me more and everyone was happy. Thats the way that customer service should always be. My friends at Donut Palace get a 5 star review from me today. Thank you guys!

Fairly standard looking donut shop but defintely a great place for some half and half tea and a bite to eat. Highly recommend this for a quick and go.

One of the only late-late night spots in El Centro. Tortas, burritos, blended boba drinks all hit the spot. Oh and they have donuts. They may not be fancy looking donuts but they may be the best donuts that weve had in the valley. Bear claws and apple fritters are HUGE! They have Mexican pastries too.

The yummiest glazed donuts, hands down. I’ve been to donut places in several countries and many states. None compare. We keep coming back. Raspberry filled needs more filling though. And hopefully there’ll be an app where you can earn points for coming because we sure need that!😝

If you like pastries, youll love this place! Humongous servings! And for extremely great prices! I had an apple fritter and was amazed at how delicious it was. Biggest one Ive ever seen! And I come from Texas...where supposedly EVERYTHING is bigger. Well, I got news for Texas: better start working on a big apple fritter...cuz I think this place has ya beat 😆

Sorry for misleading you with the one star but, I was going for no stars at all. This place has the worst service and the worst tasting and looking donuts I have ever seen

The donuts 🍩 are really good, but they never have selection. They always tell me to come back later. If it wasnt for that they will get 5 stars. But the product is only 50% of a businesses, so theyre only getting 3.

Went to get a burrito cane Asada with no rice and beans and lady told me They couldn’t do that that I have to get the rice and beans I told them I’ll pay whatever it costs I just can’t eat beans I’m allergic... she said well there’s nothing I can do and you can talk to the manager about it I said let me talk to him. She said you can call him yourself.... this is the WORST experience at a restaurant I’ve ever had... if someone tells you they’re allergic to something you shouldn’t try and force them to order it.... I will never go there again and will be telling everyone I know that has ever gone there to never go there again.... when I called the lady that answered was very unprofessional.... worst service ever

We ordered lunch on 03/14/21 upon receipt of our Tortas we discovered that the bread was burnt and there was hardly any carne asada in the Tortas. We have been ordering lunch for over three months and I finaly had it. I do not recommend this place for lunch or donuts as they are old and stale.

The building inside needs a make over for one. Inside always looks dirty and old. When you purchase donuts or other food bring cash cause they will charge you .50 cents to use their card machine. Which they shouldnt be charging a fee to use for the card reader. Their prices are high for donuts.

I went to buy donuts for my employees this morning. When I got the donuts I kindly asked if I could please add a smoothie. I quickly got shut down and was told no. I thought he was joking at first, but he was very serious. When asked why I couldn’t add a smoothie he pointed at the car behind me. I would have gladly paid for their order as well. Won’t be going back here. There’s plenty of other donut shops around to buy from .... ps. Dont deny orders from your customers y’all.... it’s a business make your money.

Not a bad place to go to passed midnight. Id chose it over other fast food restaurants. It is very inexpensive for the quantity of food you are able to get. Service can be slow but food is always good. I have yet to be disappointed. I would reccomend this place if you are looking for a new place to try.

I go here at least once a day or at the very least once a week. Food is always awesome drinks to and I see these negative comments on here and like I said Im here all the time and from what I have seen yeah some times very rarely but sometimes like us all the people working here have bad days its cool I get it and as for the waiting time its worth it and if youre really impatient about it get youre lazy a$$ out of youre car and walk inside its always a littlebiy faster.

Review №48

Few issues that require me to leave such a negative review. I called in to inquire about the carne asada and the woman on the phone was quite rude.I decided to show up anyways and ask for a carne asada burrito and torta since they no longer serve carne asada fries, but have them on the menu.A car was in front of me so I opted to call in to expedite the process. I asked the same woman if she could not include onion on the burrito and she rudely said that she couldn’t because the meat has onions in it already.I cannot stress how rude this woman was over the phone. I understand that people don’t want to be at work, but if they act like this over the phone, imagine how they prepare your order. I backed up and left. Went to the new donut avenue on fourth street where they will take your money with a smile 😁. Great food at that location and they serve carne asada fries, tortas, and burritos how you want them.I will never visit donut palace ever. Poor customer service.... 👎

This place is the best in the valley!!Their food is good, the donuts are amazing. Their staff is whats making me go back, they’re always nice,curteous, and professional. They always treat me as if they known me for a long time. They give great recommendations on what to eat. The only downfall is sometimes they have lame music playing. Other than that keep it up guys!!!!

Usually really good service, but the tall lady with tattoos today was pretty rude. She made a mistake with my order this morning and when i returned to have it fixed she had an attitude. When she returned with my correct order she just tossed it on the counter and said listo and rolled her eyes. When i said an apology would be nice she rolled her eyes so far back i swear i saw all white lol she said i didnt charge you the full amount, i told her i didnt care, charge me but give me the right order or at least an apology after rectifying it. Very dissapointed.

Theyre slacking on their types of food. I recommend their carne asada burritos with no beans and rice in it of course. Taru (Ube) boba used to be on dot depending on who is working.
