I am a Texas woman, and only human, so there is a limit to how many times I can drive past a joint called "Donut Taco Palace" without stopping (on my way to work out at the YMCA). Sadly, the Texas Gun was sold out by the time I arrived this morning, so I asked for "Peace" instead, although the Peace donut I was handed was, by my estimation, either a "Hook'em Horns" or a "Hail Satan" donut. But, pesky details aside, it was quite a good donut, and the ambience of this elegant establishment was exactly what its exterior led me to expect. And since I'm on my way to the YMCA, the calories don't count. Hail Satan! read more

I come here pretty often because I like their kolaches and sometimes their donuts, but today's experience really turned me off. When I walked in, it was busy and there was already a situation with another customer. After that was handled, my grandmother and I ordered a kolache, milk, a cinnamon roll, and I asked twice for a half dozen glazed donut holes--but that request was completely ignored. The employee helping us (an older woman with glasses) rushed us through the order and came off as rude. After leaving, I checked my account and saw I was charged $10.49 even though my total was $8.47. I usually tip, but didn't this time because of the service, so I was confused about the extra charge. We went back to the shop calmly to ask about it. Instead of trying to help, the staff were dismissive and defensive. One employee insisted the charge wasn't on their end and told me to contact my bank, even though I was just looking for clarification. There was no effort to solve the confusion or apology for how we were treated. This isn't the first time I've experienced rude service from the same employee--she often rushes customers and is unfriendly. I understand mistakes happen, and the charge itself wasn't a big deal. What bothered me was how poorly the situation was handled. Customer service matters, especially when someone comes in with a concern. read more

My fave donut place in Austin, they're local, the donut sizes are huge and fresh, their breakfast tacos are amazing and I love their hot salsa. Today I ordered door dash and bc they ran out my favorite cinnamon twist, they replaced it with not one, not two, but THREE donuts! Made my day! read more

Errrgmahhgerdddd so good and look at all the colors. if you aren't getting donuts here you aren't eating a donut - you are eating trash.

I really liked it here! I tried the mini donuts filled with raspberry and wow, so fresh and so soft!! The barbacoa taco was insanely good as well!! I highly recommend this place, I feel like it's really underrated. I have to go back and try some of their other donuts, I really appreciate their vast selection of normal donuts because I feel most businesses now try to go above and beyond and getting into ridiculously overdone donuts with too much sugar and impossible to finish let alone enjoy. I love the selection of filled donuts, the mini donuts, the cake donuts. I will 1000% return. I ordered takeout and the service was quick and it was packed so carefully together, they even separated the cilantro and onion from the taco so it wouldn't wilt. read more

Great place, tasty donuts. Service is quick and helpful. Great Austin vibe. A quick in and out spot but good luck parking. Worth the hassle of the parking lot read more

I pre-ordered my food for the next morning for a DoorDash delivery. I ordered four donuts and two tacos. They have one job to fulfill two kinds of foods, that's it. They forgot the tacos. I ordered this for a cancer patient and they fcked it up. No note saying they were out, no nothing. Fck this shop, you destroyed the day for this kid. read more

I really enjoy their donuts. When I have a taste for a small town, not fancy, donut this is the place I go!

Preordered on a Wednesday for Saturday pickup. Received an order confirmation and a pickup reminder email. Credit card was charged the full amount on Wednesday. Drove 35 minutes to the store. Waited in a 20 minute pickup line. They didn't have the order. "You should have called to confirm". So it's my fault?? I ordered, I received 2 emails, you charged me but I should have called?? Nowhere on my emails did it indicate calling. Avoid this place!!! read more

I stopped in here a few weeks ago to pick up some donuts for my sister's birthday, and was really excited by how many different options they had available! We live near to the area and had always heard how good the food here was, so my sister has wanted to check them out for over two years now and a birthday seemed like the perfect time to celebrate with some donuts! They had some fun, brightly colored donuts, as well as the standard flavors I'm more used to seeing. I've never seen jelly-filled donut holes either, but my sister ended up really liking them. Seating is pretty basic with a few bench/booth styled seats, and it was a bit limited with space, but there was plenty of parking and donut shops are always more of a grab-and-go place than a sit-down restaurant. The donuts were decent, but my sister still prefers Shipley's donuts, as the cake itself was a bit denser and less sweet than the donuts we grew up with. Totally a personal preference when it comes to texture and flavor, but the icing also wasn't as flavorful as she'd expected. Service was fast and friendly, and the donuts were good - just not the best we've ever had. Also, there are no gluten free options, so this is not a Celiac-friendly place (although zero points off for that - I knew they didn't have gluten-free baked goods when I came here!) read more

I was a few minutes early for my lash appointment next door when I saw what seemed to be a revolving door going in and out of this donut place. I'm not a huge sweets fan but the sign also said tacos so I went for it. The line was out the door and for good reason. The donuts "looked" amazing and my taco was great!! I don't live particularly close to this place but would drive over for another taco. The hours are great too. They are open every day 5 am to 1 pm. The kids looked happy going in and out the door. It seems like a fun Saturday morning tradition. If I had kids, I would take them here! read more

We are huge DTP fans due to the tasty donuts and tacos at a great price. Or should I say WERE fans. We placed a pick up order 48 hours in advance for a UT game day party and when we went to pick them up, they had zero fresh donuts and had left my order out for days. They had the audacity to ask IF we wanted a refund. Yes, we want a damn refund since we have to show up to a party empty handed. We are so disappointed and will not be returning to what was our favorite breakfast place. read more

Wide variety of donuts including donut holes filled with strawberry or Bavarian crème. Great, well filled and tasty breakfast tacos with variety of fillings. Also tasty egg/cheese/ spinach croissants. Only open until 1pm so come early and enjoy read more

Donut Taco Palace I - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

A lovely neighborhood spot with amazing tacos AND donuts (and more!!!)-- what's not to love? Great service; we got some bean and cheese tacos (amazing!!), and the staff mentioned that you can build your own taco and even add veggies from off the menu. Will have to come back and try those; as a vegetarian, that is rarely an option for breakfast tacos, so super excited to hear that. Decent amount of parking in the lot as well. The hook 'em donut is iconic! read more

The food here is delicious, never disappointed and even my guests are always pleased with the take out from here. Bright colors and clever designs. Extra credit for a variety of donut holes too! Parking can be a little tight at busier times but navigable with a little patience or just effort to park around the side of the business instead of clogging up the front parking lot. read more

I made the mistake of coming in 10 minutes before closing. The (surprisingly numerous) staff were efficient and friendly, and my food was good even though the selection was very limited at 12:45 noon. The spinach cheese croissant was very spinachy and the croissant itself was surprisingly sweet, pairing well with the green sauce. The chocolate cake donut was the perfect texture: not too crumbly, not too dense. It was delicious on its own and in coffee. I look forward to coming back earlier in the day when they have tacos read more

Good tacos, good donuts. Line moves fast. Yelp wants some notes on ambiance...it's exactly the vibe you would expect a "Donut Taco Palace" to have. read more

My favorite local donut spot in town. This crew is awesome. Extremely fast and attentive. They compliment that all with great donuts and kolaches. We drive 30mins every week just to do our weekly breakfast here. They often are busy with lines out the door but don't fear the line they are fast. It's jam packed inside but everything is so good. read more

Cheap and cheerful breakfast... old fashioned donuts especially. A great pop-in pop-out kinda shop to start the day, whether for yourself or to be the hero of the office by bringing in a box of goodness. The bright cases are filled with trays upon trays of fresh donut goodness, with a great variety to pick from. Little bit of everything in beverage selections from behind the counter and fridges. Service is dry and straight forward, all the warm sticky sweetness went into the donuts (obviously). read more

I don't know what you are saying in your response. There were no chocolate donut holes ordered, given or available. We didn't eat all the yeast donut holes, we actually took 3 home. I'm afraid you're making accusations that have no merit. I don't know you, don't remember you and don't come in enough for you to make the comments you made. I don't smiler- I don't even know what you're talking about. Maybe you should smile and try being more friendly and nice. Your response further supports the lack of customer service you provide and your lack of business sense for that matter. Why do you resort to attacking a customer? So sad we've come here for years with out girls and even got a special order for birthday donuts. But after todays visit I'll have to find some place else. Got some donut holes and the "blueberry" were hard and dry. When I asked for them to give me something else she rudely said that's what I picked and she wouldn't trade them out. I've never been to a business that was so un-customer friendly. It was literally 5 donut holes, part of an order with many other things for my 2 kids. Just a complete turn off. read more

My new favorite donut place in the area! It's never busy (which is honestly weird considering everything is so good). Tried the tacos for the first time today and they're pretty good. I tried the potato, egg, and cheese; I'd give it a 7/10 The salsa on the side was very interesting, it gives the taco a brand new flavor (in a good way). It's a really good establishment that's worth the try :) read more

Quick and fast tacos and donuts to feed a crowd. Came by to pick up for the family and stood in a short line but they got us through fast. Tasty breakfast tacos and delicious donuts! Big giant kolaches with fluffy rolls. Try the Apple fritter!! read more

I really didn't know what to think about this place by its name, but I was pleasantly surprised! Everything was so good. Especially that Maple icing W Maple icing W bacon. I got my gma a couple of Beef Fajita W Bells Pepper & Onion tacos which she said were so good. The Barbacoa W Onion & Cilantro was bomb too with the green sauce. Finally, those Holes: Dz Bavarian Filled! I couldnt stop eating them. Can't wait to order from them again. read more

No. No. No. Very few tacos, even fewer donuts available at the 12pm lunch hour. Tried the potato, chorizo, egg taco. No. Yuck. Black bean and cheese, okay, better yet not great. $6 for 2 totally lousy tacos, overly spicy salsa. Just NO. read more

I've been here twice and they've messed up my order or gave me something burnt. I was not intending on going back due to the service. But my co-worker asked me to get here something since I was already out getting breakfast. I went there this morning for the final time to pick her up food but instead the owner was rude and mad about my google review, I let him know I wasn't here to get food for myself since I got food from Austin java way better. I'm here to get food for my co-worker since I'm gout and about this morning. He said he didn't want me back at the establishment, so I wasn't going to argue and I left. The owners voice the entire conversation was loud and rude. So a heads up for anyone that makes a bad review about this place they will treat you different and be loud and rude. read more

For just $2/each you can custom order your own set of donuts for any occasion at Donut Taco Palace! They're also known for their signature Rock & Roll donut which for legal purposes isn't a "hook em". Uh huh. ;) I placed my order in advance and damn these were beautiful AND delicious! I smiled as soon as I saw them, they were done so well!! You can pick what type of donuts, color, toppings, etc. so this really makes for a great way to celebrate! Highly satisfied. 5/5 for sure! read more

Donut Taco Palace I - Custom Donuts: "10K " - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Donut Taco Palace....a name that definitely intrigues you as you drive by. Thats why we decided to make sure we stopped on our travels in the Austin area. This was in close proximity to our hotel and we kept seeing it daily. Our front desk lady at the hotel also recommended this spot when we brought it up. We saved our visit for the final day of our trip and I'm a bit sad because we likely would have returned. We arrived to a huge line that stretched outside the doors. The line moved very fast and efficiently. The workers here know what they are doing! We both tried 2 donuts. I'm very picky about donuts and they passed the test. They also offered breakfast tacos, plenty of drink options, some pastry options thar were not donuts. It was legit! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and craving a good, affordable donut. read more

Oh my gosh I thought this place was fabulous, if I ever need to get donuts again I'm definitely going to come here. Super affordable. They have a great variety. They also sell kolache's and tacos. 10/10 read more

Donuts & tacos all in one place?! Yes plz! The menu is huge and affordable. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. We got 7 different tacos. I appreciate them labeling each one. My favorites were their breakfast Chorizo + the lunch Barbacoa. Their salsas are so good with just enough spice. By default, they use a flour tortilla but you can replace it with corn for just 25¢. We also tried the Strawberry + Cream Cheese Kolache, Blueberry Glazed, Maple + Coconut, Lemon Filled + the Apple Fritter. They're not gourmet but they sure are flavorful! My bf + I are so glad we discovered this place. It's def gonna be our regular go-to for brunch :) read more

This place is great! I cannot believe how good their donuts are! And my friend got 3 different types of tacos, and he thought all of them were absolutely delicious! I personally like the different variety of donuts they have as well...they were all good! It was busy when we went, but they were fast. I may have to make a little commute to return as I live in north Austin...but it will be worth it! read more

We stopped by here in August during covid and had a good experience. Everyone was masked appropriately and there is a limit on the number of people inside. I see a lot of comments on here about service but that was not an issue for us. The whole idea of the place is fast and cheap so... yeah. Come early as donut variety will dwindle. We had a variety of donuts, kolaches and breakfast tacos and were pleased with everything. Every item was generally under $1.50. Stop by for a quick, cheap breakfast. read more

They need to change out their oil or something; donuts had a gross greasy aftertaste that lingered

Very friendly service, love the food !! The place is very clean . I come here specially for the sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich and the donuts holes . Never disappointed read more

Truly never fails. Everything in here is amazing. Some of the best hangover breakfast tacos you can get.

This place is truly the best of both worlds. The donuts are great, and so are the breakfast tacos! I recently moved to the area and this will be my new go to breakfast place! read more

Bury me at Donut Tacos Palace with a few of their donuts and breakfast tacos please. For real. Like others have said, this place has a no-frills vibe. Always people coming in and going out, and lots of cops stopping in to grab their stereotypical morning donut. The donuts aren't the best donuts that you'll ever have in your life, but they're pretty darn good and perfect to brighten up a bleh Monday morning. Their breakfast tacos are super YUM and they have literally brought me BACK TO LIFE the morning after a long night out. Staff has never been anything but kind to me, but they are often very busy. Great selection of drinks to accompany your donut/taco/kolache and prices are very reasonable. All I'm saying is that if you're looking for a local, neighborhood donut spot that is going to give you good vibes and good donuts and tacos, this place is IT. Give it a try! read more

I feel like Stefon from Saturday night live describing this great little place. It has all of the usual suspects there, donuts, kolache's, breakfast tacos and just about anything you might want to wash them down with. I like the fact that they have custom made donuts for example you can get a thumbs up or a hook them horns donut that's right plenty of variety. Grab a couple of dozen donuts on your way to the office and and watch the smiles happen. read more
