Customer Reviews

One of if not the best donut shoppe in the Imperial Valley. Donuts made fresh, awesome sweet tea at a low price, and Mexican goodies complete with a good order-to-go menu. Friendly service and ownership. Great place to go and benches outside to utilize even amid pandemic restrictions. Personal Grade A from me.

Delicious donuts that had unique flavor even though they were standard flavors. I think they might just use a different type of egg or something like that. Really tasty. Can?t wait to come back.

Used donuts for the presentation of a donut theme cake I made for my husband. Awesome donuts, and the lady who is always there greets us with a smile and is so pleasant to talk with.

We just stopped in for a Sweet Iced Tea but we ended up getting a couple donuts for later.

Good food and very friendly. Good customer service.

Very friendly, Great tasting food and quick service. Definitely recommend!!

I go here once in awhile since my mom resides in Imperial, but the cashier (lady) try to take advantage of my sister n law who has a developmental disability. I am trying to help her be more independent and allowed her to get off to order, and I handed her 3 bills of $20 because since everything is so expensive nowadays just handed her enough to cover the bill more or less, her total was $32 she handed all three bills ($20's) and she only came back with 8 dollars ,that's $20 dollars short! I called it to th

Check your receipts are you paying for what you order, I had ordered from the menu posted on the acrylic by the register and it said a certain price along with some other items and at first it seemed incorrect, I told myself but that's such a nice lady she wouldn't over charge me, but it happened again so I'm just not going there again. By the way I can't tell the difference between the regular burrito or the large.

Didn't go there was just googling smh

It's a good place to stop by for an ice tea, but some of the prices for food and chips are crazy 5 dollars for a bag of chips.

It?s a chain donut spot but ran by mom & pop style shop. Yummy donuts, nice customer service, takes a bit to get any hot food because they?re always busy with lots of orders, but worth the wait. Inexpensive treats and of you ask for something that?s not on the menu they try to make it. Thanks to the ladies that work at this shop, very warm and welcoming.

Great food and service and prices, they get 4 of 5 because they're not always consistent with what comes in a burrito or other things unless you specify exactly what you want. Ex Carne asada burrito has meat and sauce, next time meat, sauce and beans, next time meat, beans, rice, cheese... and I just said Carne asada burrito nothing different. Now understand I personally thought they all tasted good but now I specify my order so I'm not guessing what's coming in/ on it or not.

Very nice people, they do there best to get the food quickly, and the food is good. Decent price for 12 flautas. The place might need a touch up to make it cozy.

I love the lady who works here! She's such a character! She's really the only reason I stay loyal to this place. The donuts are meh, the cleanliness is sub par, the prices are reasonable, but really - the lady with the sass is the highlight! One star for the donuts. Three more for her and her lovely outlook on life :-)

Super quick and easy to place an order and the personnel is always so nice! Treat you so welcoming! Good food!!

The food here is so delicious. Aside from donuts, they also serve fresh cooked mexican dishes. The lady at the counter was also wonderful.

Best tortas I've ever had. Get the tortas combo, fries are always a surprise in a good way. If you get a cold torta combo it comes with fries and chicharones, hot torta with just fries. I recommend the hot torta. Pan dulce is great ask them to warm in up for you

How people are giving this donut shop 4 and 5 star reviews, I do not know!!! This place sells the worst nastiest donuts in Imperial Valley! They literally taste like the dirty greasy oil they were cooked in! Definitely will not be back here...EVER! I don't even want to give it 1 star this place sucks!

I went inside and I seen Donuts that look like they had been there for two days or they were just poorly made and then I asked for a sweet tea with extra lime and I was given a bowl of lemons and I asked if they could please be squeezed for me and the woman told me that if I would like to squeeze them then I'm more than welcome so I had to stand there and squeeze my own lemon juice into my own tea not a good experience nothing like conchita's in El Centro you order something and they give it to you you're n

The best Donuts and Pastries in Town plus home made style hamburguers tortas and burritos and.the best cold drinks w/ natural flavors.to pick.like coconut Horchata Jamaica aka (hybiscus) cucumber.and Cebada..

The food here is good enough, great some days, but the staff seem to forget orders quickly and the need to clean the restaurant

Sunday November 1st. The cashier was touching a lot of times her mask. With her dirty hands, and without the use of Tongs, she wanted to give 1 bread. I told her if the store have Tongs. She said No, the store has not it.
