    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.

    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
