    First time here and got the Filipino dishes! It was all tasty! My family even came back! The service was great! The ambiance was more like fast food style. We got the tapsilog,basilog, lechon kawali, & halo halo for dessert!

    Came back to the valley after 5 years away for a visit and had to hit up some old spots. Alko Bar didn't disappoint.

    Nicely stocked

    This place is pretty damn good. I wish I had more meat under Philly cheesesteaks though. But the taste in the bun was wonderful. The way it was dressed was great. The service was fantastic. All the employees seemed pretty cool. I would strongly recommend this place and a cheesesteak I'll be back. But french fries four hours and $.50 for an order of french fries was pretty damn expensive. It was actually above four I don't know if it was 450 but it waslittle expensive for french fries.

    Pretty decent place to get a Philly Cheese Steak or some loaded fries! I was in the Palm Dessert area and needed something for lunch. I was surprised to see that this place was somewhat like a 7-11 on the inside but with a kitchen that served a bunch of quick foods like cheese burgers, burritos, and salads. I opted for the Philly Cheese Steak since I saw so many reviews about it! It was pretty good, but the meat was not very flavorful. The cheese definitely gave it more flavor, but the meat by itself was pretty bland. I needed to add some salt on there. The bread was pretty good and a bit chewy. There were A LOT OF ONIONS, a bit too much for my liking. Overall, I'll probably be back, but I'll try a different variety of the Philly Steak.

    It's been a few years since I last came back. The food is still solid and fir. Prices slightly high but speaking to the owner costs are up. I thought the fries were a little soft. The onion rings are fair but that's just a preference on batter type. I think this place is a hidden gem within the area. Hope to be back and try the place out again.

    Great hidden spot. I spent a few years on the east coast and finding a good cheesesteak in California is not easy.

    First time visiting Palm Desert and my wife had a random non-negotiable craving: fried chicken…read more After some Reddit digging, Towers Market kept popping up. I'll be honest--gas station food usually lives somewhere in my college survival era memories, so I was skeptical... but I'm always open to try something new. Right when we walked in, we were greeted warmly and treated with genuine friendliness and respect, which already set a good tone. Just to be clear, I'm writing this review purely based on the fried chicken and the service related to getting it. I didn't come for gas or anything else, so please keep that in mind. Now let's talk chicken. 5/5 -- no hesitation. We ordered the chicken strips along with wings and drumsticks, and wow. Super crispy, well-seasoned, and flavorful all the way through. Honestly? It rivaled Raising Cane's, which feels wild to say about a gas station--but here we are. Reddit did not steer us wrong. Most importantly, it absolutely satisfied my wife's fried chicken itch, and that alone makes this stop a win. Bonus points because my 9 month old daughter seemed to love it as well!! Unexpected, impressive, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and craving fried chicken. Would I come back? Without question.

    I am not the type of person who likes to complain or leave bad reviews. I also work in customer…read moreservice as a waiter, so I know that there are days when it is very difficult to deal with difficult customers. This gas station in Palm Desert--the Tower Market located on Highway 111--used to be one of the stations closest to my home. Consequently, it was perfectly convenient for filling up my work truck, grabbing my fresh coffee, and picking up the burritos or sandwiches they had been offering lately. However, I have repeatedly encountered a sarcastic attitude from the manager whenever I ask about food items that have run out and want to know if they will be making more. In fact, I have even called ahead of time to order burgers or pastrami sandwiches, but it seems like they always get annoyed when I ask for those specific items. Furthermore, when the line gets too long early in the morning, there is invariably only one cashier working--even though you can see the manager sitting right next to the computers, right beside that sole cashier. It stands to reason that if there are more than 5 or 7 people waiting in line to pay, she should step in to help them. As a result, by the time you finally get to the front to pay, the cashier is already in an authoritarian and rude mood. They definitely need to take a closer look at the employees at this gas station and provide them with proper training on how to serve customers; after all, we are the ones spending our money there, and we deserve at least a little bit of empathy and a friendly greeting. In conclusion, I have stopped going to this gas station and will be returning to the Sinclair station located just two blocks away, where the customer service is much better!I

Earlier today I told the doc that I needed a Rx called in and he said "No problem, but I just want to warn you that this is the worst pharmacy I've ever dealt with." I said "Common how bad could it be?" I was in the room right next to him as he was speaking with the pharmacy and telling them the Rx. I went to go pick it up along with a refill that I submitted. When I got there and went to the window asked her(Tech) for my Rx she said "No one called in your Rx and there was INS issue with the other refill." I told her that was factually incorrect and to submit the refill(I knew she was lying, because I've delt with this before). Pharmacy techs at Walgreens regularly DELETE Rx's just because they're busy and don't want to fill them. When I say DELETE I mean DELETE, not put back in your file to be filled later. In my career I have delt with 100's of pharmacy's and have a deep understanding of how an Rx is filled from the manufacturer to the patient. She processed the INS like I said it went right through. I then asked for the other Rx that was called in and her exact response was "I DON'T CARE SIT DOWN!!!." I did wait for about 10 minutes as I had the DELTED Rx called back in by our Physician. After waiting for a little bit I then came back up to ask the status of the Rx and to document her name so that I could report her. What she did next was unbelievable!!! Her exact response was "I'M GOING TO SUE YOU!!!". I want to make a note that the pharmacist was pleasant/nice and asked her tech what she was doing. I'm shocked she tolerated this behavior by her techs. The techs were clearly running the show here. I ended up walking out without any of the meds. The reason for these meds were 2 people in our party were seriously ill with a respiratory infection(the prior day one of them passed out on the side of the road coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe(Hypoxia). I was developing the same symptoms and wanted to start treatment immediately. Sadly this was not possible because of the LAZINESS and EGO of a disgruntled pharmacy tech. Having read and seen the ratings of this Walgreens its crystal clear that they couldn't care less. However, Walgreens if you actually read this(highly unlikely) and decide to take action(even more unlikely) to correct your clearly problematic store(It's never too late). I was in this store on Friday February 6th around 11am. Have an outstanding weekend!!!
