Donut Taco Palace II

I’ve always been a big supporter of local businesses, and I love the location up north—such a wonderful family-owned spot! However, my experience at this particular location has been disappointing. The service has been far from what I expect, particularly with the cashier, and it seems like the business isn’t addressing the issue. It’s a shame because the north location is a complete 180 and a true delight. I hope the management takes this feedback into consideration for the future.

I come to this location fairly frequently and always have the same issue with the cashier lady, she’s rude to you as soon as you walk in, rolling her eyes, sighing, and having just a rude tone with you overall. Just the other day she slammed my debit card on the counter and rolled her eyes for a simple mistake on her end, because she ringed up one chocolate milks when I had two. I love the food overall but she needs to be replaced quickly before she gets the wrong customer.

She offered me two donuts when I paid only for one because one might not be up to normal standards. Fast service. A lot of people in and out.

Friendly staff very welcoming. Competitively prices. Went to 4 different small donut places this morning(day after Christmas) and this was the only one open. Donuts didn't look all that appetizing(specifically the frosting) but haven't tried any yet so the jury's still out on quality hence 4 not 5 stars. I may and or may not try one. If I do, I'll update as per the results. Update: donuts were subpar, and staff increased tip without my permission. Will never return here.

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.

Beloved by me and mine, and clearly by the community at large. Mark and Mary have made the perfect place for someone searching for a fast and delicious morning bite. Tacos on the right, kolaches in the middle, donuts on the left. When it's busy, the behind the counter staff move as if choreographed in a beautiful blustery ballet of service. Once you get good at ordering, it feels as if you're part of the performance - a complex, speedy, practiced purchase feels elevated to the spectacular. If you're new and have some free time on a busy day, linger for a moment at a table and watch. Maybe you'll see what I see - but if you don't, that's ok, you have places to be.

Great breakfast place. Tacos were stuff nicely, spinach migas were nice. They also have donuts, kolaches and croissants sandwiches.

You want donuts? Tacos? And meat kolaches? DTP2 has you covered. The breakfast tacos are sinful and they're a buck fifty. This place is hardly a palace but in my mind it's the Taj Mahal, I visit here every other weekend and will continue to do so for the rest of my days.

Don't be fooled by appearances- this place is legit! My kids are picky and they absolutely LoVE this place. It's our - every Sunday morning - tradition. I think it's most people's weekend tradition because a lot of locals go there. They almost always sell out before they close. They are open everyday same time and consistent. We've known the staff for 4-5 years now and they know all of my kids and in-laws. The donuts are always good and they diversify their selection regularly. They have seasonally decorated donuts for common holidays and schools like UT Austin. You can also order ahead or arrive early for big orders for birthdays or work. Aside from donuts they have breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, and danishes. Then tacos! So many different types of tacos. There are like four booths and plenty of drinks to choose from.

I go here 3-5 times a week. Best tacos and doughnuts in South Austin. Ignore the reviews from the out of towners - this place is legit, the people are nice and it's a local business.

I've been going to this place for almost 10 years and it's still one of my favorites for breakfast fare. Incredible salsa. UNBELIEVABLE salsa. Every ingredient is good but once you hit it with that heavenly red salsa you're on another level. I haven't even tried their donuts I'm just an acolyte for their breakfast tacos and salsa. I've been to vera Cruz, I've been to Guero. I've been everywhere and also grew up here. This is such a good spot and I will support them forever.

I was a doubter and boy did this place shock me! Small family owned feel to it and the service is incredible. Lots of options for donuts, breakfast sandwiches, drinks etc and all for great prices. This place is always packed and has become a go to for us!

Great prices and love the tacos! Friendly service. Recommend ordering ahead to avoid wait.

2 things ro remember: Stuffed donuts holes (they're addictive!!) Made to Order Tacos (served hot & worth the wait) Fair prices. Friendly service.

Don't be deterred by the name, this place is delicious. The donuts are fresh and kolaches tasty. Don't sleep on the breakfast croissants! The eggs are freshly made and they're less than $5. This is such a great weekend breakfast spot where the service is quick, staff are friendly, and the food is always good.

Amazing miga tacos great help, call ahead and order if you can to not wait in line :)

Me and my fiancé go here every Sunday after our walk. The food is amazing. The breakfast tacos and donuts are just . The service is very fast and friendly. They have these new spinach tacos! Very good. Definitely consider this a gem. The place is small but very lively. Definitely suggest people try this place out!

During our vacation to Austin, we came here in search of the famous "Hook 'em Horns" doughnut, but to no avail. Apparently, the donut shop stopped making them years ago, probably due to the lawsuit brought upon them by the University of Texas to cease using the longhorn image that they had trademarked. So what else does this small, modest donut shop have? Well, other donuts of course. When we arrived on a Monday morning at 11AM, there were still plenty of donuts left with most of the flavors still being produced. The donut shop was pretty quiet with just a few customers and a few tables for people to sit down at. We ended up ordering the maple bacon donut and a lavender donut along with some munchkins/donut holes. I know it's not really a great enough sample size to give my full opinion of the donut shop, but the donuts were solid. I can't say they were any more spectacular than my local donut shop though, but everything was good in an OK way.

I've been going here for years but it seems a hidden gem has become a lot more recognized! My favorite thing available is the tacos. They're delicious, readily available, and very affordable! They have coffee and donuts too. Amazing place!

Just moved to the area and have heard all the rage - it did not disappoint! We spent the day moving and stopped in here for breakfast! The kolaches were great and the staff is super nice!! Probably in the weekly rotation now!

I think they up charged me... I ordered 2 dozen for my coworkers, 1dz plain glazed and the other with an assortment, and 1 extra donut just for me and paid $24.50!! Was in a hurry so didn't make a fuss... although I should have. I checked their website and each dozen comes near $8 each for their most expensive... I think I got played. Never going there again. I'll stick with Shipley's Donuts. Not about to drop near $30 on donuts!

It has everything, donut's, breakfast tacos, breakfast sandwich croissant. It always has a line that's why I didn't give it a 5 star!

I love this place. What a concept. The cake donuts are awesome, and I love the bean and bacon taco. I Uber eat from these guys all the time. Even when they screw up I don't mind - that just means more donut Taco palace!!!!! I genuinely wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Awesome fresh flakey donuts and fresh Burritos. Go early or the best ones will be gone. Love stopping by when I'm in the area an the kids love picking there donuts.

DELICIOUS breakfast tacos and amazing selection of yummy donuts! Super friendly staff too. My go to for a quick service and warm breakfast!

Donut? Taco? Palace? Donut taco palace. It's been on the list so we had to try it. They have tacos, donuts, and kolaches, all ready to go, quick and easy. We got two kolaches (pepperoni and sausage), two tacos, and an apple fritter. While the kolaches had savory flavor, there was little meat in them and they were a lot drier than we were expecting/hoping. The tacos were the best part but nothing really special, sausage, and sausage potato. The apple fritter was the most disappointing. It was quite large and dense but very dry and had little to no apple in it. Although everything together was less than $10 it wasn't very good so we'll definitely check out somewhere else next time

I'd have to agree with some of these reviews. The donuts and tacos are pretty good. I really find the strawberry cake donut flavor unique. However depending on what day you go, there is a very rude and unpleasant female staff member. I could only hope that it's not the same one working there 5 years. It reflects badly on business and it's true, no one wants to start there day with such an awful interaction.

This morning my husband brought home donuts and kolaches. These are probably the worst we have ever had. The kolaches and donuts bizarrely tasted like Fabuloso. And then it let a weird, tingly feeling in my mouth afterwards. Needless to say we dumped them and won't be back.

One of the best local donut and breakfast taco places in Austin! Always fresh and delicious! Friendly staff! This is my Saturday morning go to spot!

Breakfast tacos and donuts are a Texas or maybe an Austin staple? After a night of partying I need something a little heavier than my usual breakfast staple of egg whites and oatmeal. My husband and I came here and we were quite overwhelmed by the selection of tacos. For $1.69 I could choose from about 10 different breakfast taco combinations. I ended up with a sausage and egg taco and a maple bacon donut. I loved the breakfast taco and the sauce. The eggs were fluffy and sausage was flavorful. The maple bacon donut was fresh and the bacon was crispy and smokey. My husband and I took two donuts to go to try later. It was a no shame day in the food arena. We shared an apple fritter and a long john (filled with yellow chiz). The apple fritter was disappointing and I have not found a good once since living in this area. They tend to be too dry and just overall lack. The long john was very good and filled with delicious amount of cream. This place was quite busy for a Sunday morning and I can see why. I have a better idea on what I would want to try next time so I will be back.

I definitely won't be coming back after today's visit. I ordered two large kolaches, one croissant, and a dozen donut holes. I asked for some salsa for my kolaches and croissant. The lady handed me one and said it would be an extra 25 cents. Wow.... I have never been charged for salsa when I ordered these items. To Angel (owner), as a customer experience, this is terrible service. Salsa shouldn't be just for tacos!!!

Still love this place! Take out orders are easy, line moves quickly, still love this donut shop. Don't arrive late in the day, the good stuff will be gone!

Love this place. The variety of donuts is great and they also serve breakfast tacos and tacos at lunch later. I love that they open early because I go into work early and they are near. Delicious and fresh !!!

I've been a patron of this local business for over 7 years when Ms. Linda attended the front counter service... since then, the happy smiley lady & the new addition are great! The young lady with the 'red-tinted hair' is so terribly rude & yet I keep coming back... funny that it's noticeable how 'Kind' she is to Male customers & quite different toward Females... she even recalls their taco orders & yet she Never can keep up with my one simple order... Ever. I have to repeat it to her again & again & prior to 12:30 (when the kitchen closes), she's declined to make tacos w the knowledge that I use to come 3-4/x week! Yeah... She's off-putting enough that I don't drive 9+ miles out of my way as much anymore. It's the tacos but also the service that makes me return. She really should readdress how she treats certain customers, especially Regulars. Bad attitudes make a difference in a town that offers nothing but bf tacos day/night...

This is one of those, "I've been here so often I forgot to review" it places. Our family goes here almost every Saturday for breakfast tacos and donuts. The tacos are cheap and tasty - two should do the trick. Our toddler has been eating them since she was on solid foods and will scarf a whole one herself. They have a ton of varieties, is basically any combo you want is available: we alwasy get bacon, egg, and cheese. We follow up it up with our favorite donuts. They have croissant sandwiches, kolaches, and other goodies I've never even tried (like donuts shaped like a hand doing a Longhorn!) - perhaps one of these days I'll deviate. Highly recommend popping in here before 8 o'clock lest you wait in line. (Alas, it moves quickly). We always get it to go, but they do have a few tables.

The cashier was outside on a smoke break, came inside and didn't wash her hands,...yuck. It used to be a good shop but has just gone downhill.

Great food and friendly service. Breakfast tacos as good as any legit Mexican restaurant or food truck in town. Lots of unique kolaches as well!!

I mean we are talking donuts and tacos all in one place?!?!? What's not to love !!?? I am forever stalking donuts so I decided to grab a dozen for my staff. I walked in very early so it wasn't packed like usual. The service was stale, maybe because it was before 6am? I know it's hard to be friendly and people that early, but for a first timer, it was a disappointing exchange. I grabbed a sausage and cheese large kolache and a dozen donuts for under 10 bucks. Great price point ! The maple bacon donut was done just right , both savory and sweet! I was impressed with this pick and would give 5 stars. The others were your average donuts, nothing crazy amazing but overall everyone seemed to enjoy. I would go back and possibly try some tacos !!

We've come here a couple times. Convenient place to go for donuts, tacos or both! The inside is a bit small so we like to grab and go. I honestly haven't tried their tacos yet but I do enjoy the donuts, just wish there was a little bit more selection. I enjoyed the maple bacon and my son had one with blue frosting and sprinkles :)

So this a bit of a hard one to write... The people have always been nice. We enjoy that they have breakfast options that we like and donuts. It would all be good except.. The thing we can't get past... That the food tastes like the cleaning product they use in the store. One time it was so strong the breakfast sandwich I got tasted nothing but cleaning perfume smell, with a small taste of egg and sausage. This time I got tacos bc they haven't been as bad. Yet again that taste is there but not as bad. Husband is really disappointed today bc the ham and cheese croissant he enjoys tasted strongly of the cleaner smell. He just said to me 'I wish they'd quit using whatever cleaning product they use'. Honestly it tastes terrible simply bc of this. Really hoping they read this. I think it's a simple solution.

Love the sausage egg and cheese breakfast taco and the apple fritter! This place is awesome!

I'm super basic when it comes to my tacos, and I LOVE bean and cheese! Theirs are some of my favorites, and their mild salsa is perfect to pair it with! The kolaches and donuts are really good also. We usually get tacos when visiting, but occasionally I'll grab something extra. The reason for taking off a star is due to some of the staff not always being the friendliest. There is a woman that works there and wears glasses and she is the sweetest ever, she knows what we want when we come in now after so many visits! Usually it's not very busy when coming in, but sometimes it's extremely chaotic. If so, just be patient.....they move pretty fast and will help you get in and out as quick as possible. People can only love so fast and sometimes they have to make the tacos! If they are out of certain donuts or kolaches, you just gotta pick from what's left! The kitchen stays open until 12:00 i think, so you can order you any tacos you want if they aren't pre-made! Affordable and delicious!

I consider myself a semi-donut connoisseur (my family owned a few and always had friends who owned or worked at them, so I ate a lot)... You can tell a lot about a place just with their donut holes.... Oh damn, their donut holes are LEGIT... Always a good sig everything else will be good too. The old fashioned was crispy but soft.... The glaze is not to sweet, just perfect to compliment the dough. Kudos!!! Next time I will have to try the tacos since it seems they are popular for that too.

This is now my favorite donut shop in town! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Their positive energy plus the fresh donuts totally made my day!

It was good not great. I had a Potato, Egg, Bacon and Potato, Egg, Sausage taco (which we're not large or filling at all) and a maple bacon glaze and strawberry donut. Tacos were only $1.69 each and so with donuts and tax was $6.40. Not to say I wouldn't go back but I would try somewhere else for sure. I also went at 10 am going earlier will give you a much better donut selection. I would honestly give 3.5 stars but I'll round up because it wasn't bad. Not great.

Y'all this place goes ooooooooffffff. I came in just before closing today, craving some kolaches. They were pretty low on stock, so I asked them to surprise me with my order. I wound up with a ham and cheese kolache, a jalepeno sausage and cheese, a bacon and cheese, just cheese, and a ham and cheese croissant, plus a bunch of donuts. They said the donut guy starts working at 1am and I just want to thank him. Everything I got is so yummy (and I don't even like donuts) (be sure to try the old fashioned cake). I absolutely cannot wait time come back for the tacos/taco donuts. Yum! Also as a lifelong Tx resident and kolache connoisseur, I've never heard of a bacon kolache...and I will be stocking up regularly. Just try them! They slap!

I used to love to take my daughter here or buy teachers boxes for the staff room but I will never go there again. The owner didn't put part of my order in my bag and when we got home and I noticed he refused to refund me. First he denied he even made the mistake and then he said I'd have to go all the way back and come in instead of him just refunding my credit card. I said I couldn't do that and he said "well that's your problem". Soo unbelievably rude. I hope that $4 was worth loosing all our future his was because I will NEVER buy from them again.

The service here is sometimes okay depending on who you get in the morning. I usually go here because it's close to the house and very affordable. The donuts are amazing. I will say that their kolaches are not good. At all. Today in fact I got a kolache that was terrible. You can see from the picture i posted that really it is just a very small sausage and a ton of bread. I've had this happen before and I think I'm finally just over it. I think from here on out I'm just going to make a further drive to get a better quality.

I really wanted to like this place. It's close to me and offers a wide selection of breakfast food. But the tacos are just awful. Half the time they got my order wrong. The times they got my order right, they just didn't taste very good. Dry potatoes. Bacon tasted off. Beans taste canned. Don't recommend.

Arrived around 11AM and they ran out of a lot of the donuts. I ended up ordering the breakfast taco (mediocre) and the sausage cheese jalapeño kolaches. It was absolutely delicious! Would I go back if I was in town? Probably not. At least the ladies at the front were very friendly. My suggestion is go earlier than 11AM on the weekend?

Unless you've been a pro stunt driver or done a lot of Project Gotham Racing you probably have no idea how cool it is to power slide your pick up truck across three lanes and into a parking lot the moment a flashing "OPEN" sign catches your eye as you're doing 50mph. It's kind of like that, yeah. Samuel Jackson would make the movie of this place on the name alone, and for that reason, it gets 5 mutha phuckin' stars. Even if it is a sequel. True, most sequels fail to live up to the hype of the first edition, but in this case, much like say, "Aliens" or ESB, you've pretty much just gotten done and you're like "HOLY CRAP THE AWESOME STICK I HAVE JUST BEEN BEATEN WITH IS LEAVING ME WANTING MORE. PLEASE SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER??" Hopefully Donut Taco Palace ]I[ doesn't have Ewoks or crash landings on prison planets. Frankly, I'm not sure why you're still reading this and haven't gotten into your transportation of choice and gone to see the exquisiteness that is Donut Taco Palace ][. To paraphrase my good friends Andy and JT: Christmas? Donut and Taco. Hanukkah? Donut and Taco. Kwanzaa? Donut and Taco. Every single holiday, Donut and Taco. On your way to work every day, Donut and Taco. Mid-day on a Saturday, Donut and Taco. Back from a day riding veloway, Donut and Taco. Donut and Taco. Donut and Taco. Donut and Taco. (PS, they also make kolaches. Yeah, really, why are you reading this? Go!)

I can't believe this just happened. I went in for the first time and the woman employee was on the telephone for what seemed like five or six minutes before she acknowledged me and continued talking on the phone (personal call, I speak Spanish) when I tried to get information about one of the pastries she asked me to please be quiet and wait for her to get off the telephone. Needless to say I'm not coming back.

So, I had been watching...and waiting...for this place to open ever since I saw the sign go up....Donut Taco Palace?!? craziest name and ALSO the best idea EVER! who doesn't want a little bite of something sweet after devouring a scrumptious breakfast taco?? I got the egg, potato and cheese taco...and their salsa is the shit! I am a salsa snob..and this stuff was seriously tasty...the tacos were like my grandma made them right before they were served up...delicious! I also got some of the plain glazed donuts for the coworkers (and so I could taste them) and they are probably my favorite donuts in austin so far...good to know that there is such an awesome breakfast place right down the street from me that is seriously cheap! I got all of the above mentioned plus two tacos to take to the bf at work for under $10...that can't be beat! Did I mention this place is like...less than a mile from my house?? that could be dangerous!

Service is rude, not cuatomer friend and the food is ok. When asking questions about the menu I'm told about prices.. I'm sorry young lady I didn't ask you about prices I can read your prices are displayed... I asked about the difference in the tacos you have posted!

0 stars if I could. Horrible customer service. The lady in front of me didn't have her order filled and the cashier took 20 minutes to issue a refund as nothing else could be done. Another employee popped in and out of the front and did nothing to assist. Then the cashier had the audacity to ask if "I was gonna have an attitude" after I placed my order. I will never go here again. Fix YOUR attitude if you want business.

We came here to pick up donuts for a study session.. They were ok and I would definitely choose them over Dunkin Donuts or a chain.. we also got breakfast burritos, and another day we ordered a breakfast sandwich. The Croissant breakfast sandwich was the only thing that stood out from the rest, awesome! Also when we were there something kinda strange happened. We walked up to the counter and told the cashier our order, when a girl walked in and the cashier immediately switched to take the order of the girl behind us... I am not sure what the circumstances were because she never explained to us.. She apologized but it made me kind of uncomfortable.

Been coming here for years! Some of the best breakfast tacos and donuts in town! They never let me down!
