Donut Tacos Palace I

Donuts AND tacos? Sounds great to me. Tastes great as well. Donut Tacos Palace did not disappoint. Very affordable, especially when breakfast tacos in Austin can reach $ 4 a taco at some places. After a night on the town, this was exactly what we needed.

1. Completely rushed to order — the line is configured so you can’t see the case until you are first in line, but then you are completely rushed to place an order
2. Kolaches — completely inauthentic kolaches and the ones with sausage or ham have hardly any filling
3. Employees — there is no comprehension of customer service here. No please or thank you. The employees are hard to understand and it seems they don’t have a good grasp of English or just don’t care because they are so busy.
4. The Donuts and Tacos are just OK, nothing special.

Decent donuts, don’t get me wrong. But it seems they only make one batch a day. If you aren’t there by about 8 or 9 they will be out of the really good stuff. That’s why I love shipleys donuts, always have everything!

I went back to Donut Taco Palace today and I wasn’t as impressed as the last time I visited. Maybe the sparkling appeal of donuts and tacos combined into one establishment simply wore off for me. Or maybe it was the fruity pebbles donut that had the consistency of a donut that had been sitting out for 4 hours. It also could have been the somewhat bland sausage in the sausage egg and cheese taco. Regardless, there was one fantastic item that came from Donut Taco Palace this morning, and it was the Jalapeño Sausage and Cheese Kolache. Now, I’ve had quite a few kolaches in my day, but this one, might have been one of the best. The breading was so fluffy and the top was perfectly golden. If I venture back to Donut Taco Palace, it’ll definitely be for the kolaches. The chocolate sprinkle donut and the chorizo egg and cheese taco were also pretty palatable, but the kolache was the breakfast winner today.

The food was undercooked and the potatoes in my taco was rotten… and something is also wrong with the donut!!!

If you need tacos, donuts, or kolaches, and this place is convenient to you, check it out. Quaint little hole in the wall with a variety of donuts, kolaches, and tacos. Cute atmosphere and clientele. I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here but I’m very glad I stopped here today to check out the palace.

I’d give the name of the place 5-​stars. Donuts and tacos are probably my two favorite foods, and calling the place a «Palace» is marketing genius. The donuts are pretty good, and they’ve got an impressive variety of different flavors, shapes, and colors. It’s really fun to go there and just stare at all the cool things they have at the counter before things start selling out. This is also a great place to grab donuts for the office because it’s cheap with lots of options. The tacos are nothing special, and at times, they’re pretty rubbery and unappetizing, but I’m not sure you can really expect too much when you’re paying a little over $ 1 for a breakfast taco. I have yet to try the infamous donut taco because heart disease and diabetes run in my family, and I’m not ready to die quite yet…
It’s a great place to get cheap and tasty eats. Nothing will blow you away, but it’s an ideal corner donut and taco shop to get a quick and unhealthy breakfast or snack.

Both things I love in one place. The breakfast sandwich on a Donut… heart attack good.

We always call ahead to order their breakfast tacos on corn. They’re premade tacos are good but are all on flour.

We’ve come here at least five times and every time the ladies behind the counter are so rude. The food is good, but not that good to endure their rudeness. Based on their food, they score 4 stars. I might have to drive a bit farther to another donut place that isn’t rude at all.

The new girl behind the counter is extremely rude the past couple times I’ve came in there conversation behind the counter is more important than a paying customer…

So I did love this place. I would always call ahead of time to order my tacos on corn tortilla. Never had a problem before but now they don’t have corn tortillas until 8 or later. That doesn’t work for people who have jobs they have to be at.

Mother of god. TACOS. DONUTS.
I have found heaven, and it is in a strip mall in Austin, TX. Let me go back!

Kind of a strange concept, tacos and donuts. It’s like they had a donut store and realized how much people in Austin love tacos, and therefore decided to sell tacos at their donut shop. Doesn’t matter. Both the donuts and tacos are good.
I had the chorizo and egg taco, which was kind of soggy since it was pre-​made, but still really good. Also had a sausage and egg taco. I had them add cheese to both tacos. Yum.
They also sell kolaches and regular tacos. By regular tacos, I mean not breakfast tacos. I saw al pastor on their menu, so I might have to try that next time.

I have to admit, this place was my first kolache of Austin. The kolaches are pretty standard. I prefer the sausage, cheese, jalapeño kolaches. I could use a little more spice, but it’s still decent. The main thing I like about these guys is that they offer small and large kolaches. The large is a slightly different dough or at least comes off as different because of the way it’s cooked.
The donuts are ok… just ok, a little dry although flavor is decent. If you are looking for a way to eat 3 donuts at a time and not feel guilty, just order a twisted donut.

Good donuts. Terrible service. They recently got my order wrong because she was talking to her workmate rather than me. She said she couldn’t give me the correct kolache. makes no sense.

The perfect combination of good breakfast tacos and a massive selection of fresh donuts. Not to mention the kick butt business name. My kids love picking out their donuts and donut holes, and the old man and I love getting their breakfast tacos which are cheap, tasty, and generously sized. This place does a brisk business on weekend mornings, which is when we go. The service is efficient and any line moves quickly. Check it out if you need breakfast in this part of town. I tried the mysterious «Donut Taco» once, but it was too greasy and too huge for me to finish. So I’d stick with the donuts and tacos themselves and not the namesake. The hook ‘em horns tacos are too cute and tasty too. 4 stars, I’m a real fan.

Came by here on suggestion from boss since visiting home tacos were ok donuts good got a maple bacon donut and fruity pebbles donut. .m

Love this place!!! I cant say enough about how good, fast, and convenient it is! The staff is so very friendly and efficient at this location as well! Great place!

Let me start this off by saying I have an iron stomach. I can eat spicy or greasy food with no repercussions.
I had heard about this place and happened to pass this one, so I stopped to try it out. We each decided to get a doughnut, and my husband got a breakfast taco and I got a breakfast «donut taco.» I had to! It’s the name of the place and sounds like it would be either genius or utterly disgusting.
It was disgusting. Greasy and the wrong mix of flavors. I have had a terrible, sick feeling in my stomach since I ate the damned thing, and while I had it this morning I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to stomach dinner (lunch was a no go).
The doughnuts, a regular glazed and a maple and peanut, were both hugely disappointing. Service was flat and unsmiling and the restaurant as a whole was super dirty and greasy. Never again.

Make a quick run in here for their ready made breakfast tacos. I tried the potato/​egg/​cheese, comes with a side of salsa for $ 1.69…that’s a steal in my book! I guess they can get super busy, so while it would be great to have your taco made to order, it’s nice that they’re ready and in a warmer to get you in and out quicker. My taco was still hot so it’s definitely not an issue. Huge fun selection of fresh made donuts, too. Private parking out front. Seat yourself inside. Not tons of seating, but most people were running in and grabbing the tacos to go. Def the place to go for cheap breakfast tacos!

I tried this place because it was close to my home after moving back to austin and I was amazed it was so delicious! The donuts are incredible. They have some really fun choices but the traditional glazed just can’t be out done. Most of the time I stick to their breakfast tacos and if they don’t have my favorite left, they’ve always been nice enough to make me one.
The shop is in a strip and doesn’t look like much from the outside, but that usually goes unnoticed by the line that often stacks up outside the door. I get up early on the weekends just to get there while everything is hot and fresh!

WOAH!!! I didn’t realize that this place was here. They open at 5am to 1pm so get there early. It’s a very tiny spot that doesn’t call a lot of attention to themselves… so I’ll do it for them hehe.
Everything is made fresh daily, from the croissants to the kolaches to the tacos and yes, the donuts. Whatever you like they have, and for those long horn fans (HOOK EM) they even make the hook em hand sign as a donut!!! That’s awesome.
The kolache we had was a jalapeño cheese and it was delicious. Not too spicy. The chorizo potatoes taco was surprisingly yummy. I had yet to find a place to say «they have good chorizo tacos» until now. They stuff the tacos pretty generously and the tortillas are not cooked in the microwave which is awesome, they cook them on the stove or in Spanish «comal» as it’s known to us Latinos.
The salsa has good flavor to it as well so grab a few of those. Needless to say, if your gonna be late to work or anywhere, since they open at 5am you can save the day and by tacos and donuts, best of both worlds!!! As always, PEACE AND GOOD EATING.

Great stuff all around. Breakfast tacos are the bomb, doughnuts are awesome too! Usually a long line on the weekends but moved fairly quickly. Oh but…
DO NOT ORDER THE DONUT TACO!!!
If you are a fat, sweaty grotesque pig of a human being then by all means, dig into this unholy mass of failure and regret, just don’t say i didn’t warn you.
Other than that, all of the human food is fantastic and reasonably priced. Yum!

Donut Taco Palace, I have failed you. I’ve driven past you for over a year without stopping in to give you a try. I wanted to — and I kept telling myself «this weekend» is «the weekend» to try Donut Taco Palace… and yet something always came up. Well, this past weekend I finally made the stop and now I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop coming in. I don’t even know where to start. But the donuts seems like a good way–
1. Donuts
As a recovering donut addict, I can attest that these donuts are simply divine. The dough is flaky, fresh and the perfect amount of sugar. Light, fluffy and straight from the oven goodness. AND the variety! I wanted one of everything, but seeming as how that would be silly, I had to narrow my choices. I went with a dozen cream filled donut holes. PS, you had me at those donut taco palace. You had me at the first bite of one cream filled donut hole. Next, I tried one of the Longhorns (basic glazed, in the shape of the Hook ‘em sign) and then I had a nice cinnamon cake donut. Nothing disappointed. I’ve made a mental note of what I’m trying this weekend — the list is long and glorious.
2. Tacos
I’ll admit I was hesitant. Can an establishment truly do good donuts AND tacos? I wasn’t sure it could be done. But, indeed it can. I had a bacon, egg and cheese taco on flour tortilla. It was superb. Fluffy, fresh eggs with crisp bacon and melted cheesy goodness. Smattered with a splash of fresh salsa — it was the perfect addition to an already perfect breakfast.
3. Service
The staff was excellent — friendly, patient (too many choices!) and fast.
There’s also a huge selection of kolaches, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, drinks and coffee. Do yourself a favor and stop by!

IDIOT stupid knucklehead doh moron numb nuts… ME for not stopping here sooner. Like other reviewers I was leery of the place because of the name. I was in a bind and needed breakfast (they put the FAST is breakfast) tacos AND doughnuts for a morning meeting. I knew I was in the right place when I observed Hispanic workmen standing in line in front of the counter. I rather enjoy the HOT sauce (chile) because it’s guess what, rather HOT!!!
The food is delicious, fresh and there is a variety of pastries to choose from.
So don’t be a pendejo dope stupid ignorant stubborn burned out loser like me and stop by this place. 2 STUFFED tacos and a doughnut for less than $ 3 bucks… get outta here!
P. S. Note picture in the middle for the «hookem» pastries… I’m wondering if they could make them with one finger in mind so I can give them to my OU friends. I’ll check and let you know!
