The Original Donut Shop

First time stopping in today and I was very pleased with the true old school atmosphere! When you’re in line to order tacos you can see the ladies making fresh tortillas! Great service and very efficient! The donuts are wonderful too! I’m so glad I stopped in while I was in the area! Heads up on the parking- it’s one way in coming off of Fredericksburg Road. I found that out the hard way by coming in the wrong entrance with my large pickup truck and having to turn around to get properly parked before going inside. This place is busy- I advise ordering ahead during busier times.

Bean and cheese on a corn tortilla. Picadillo taco on a flour tortilla. Potato egg and bacon on a flower tortilla. Tell me when to stop LOL. And should I get started on the donuts? I like them all but man those classic basic glazed donuts, especially when they come right out of the oven, if they don't change your life- they will definitely add another dimension to it. A welcomed one yum.

Amazing & consistent Service for decades. Beautiful Staff with Quick Service Amongst Busy Times of Day. This is my favorite restaurant in whole city. I Never tire of eating here. Very clean Dining Area. Great Selection of Freshly made Donuts, and Full Breakfast/Plate/Entree Menu. SOME CUSTOMERS selfishly by full trays of donuts so get there early. However the staff always aims to serve EVERY single person, no matter what, 7 days a week. Food till 2pm, Donuts until sell out, CREDIT/DEBIT Accepted. Please come with Respect towards these Women & Men. You will enjoy your meals & Pastries. I am glad they only have one location, allowing focus on quality control. 100% recommend. I do not leave a review unless a place has earned it.

Last stop in San Antonio before heading back home and I LOVE THIS PLACE. My weak spot are donuts and tacos and this place had BOTH. Breakfast tacos (chorizo/egg, bean/cheese/bacon), chalupa were PHENOMENAL. Highly highly recommend. Such a good vibe inside. Busy yet still organized with efficient staff (not the friendliest but get the job done well). I am definitely coming back here next time. Also it was only 15 dollars total so CHEAP.

So the tortilla is thicker than what I'm used to, but it was super fluffy. I had to run a few errands before I could sit and eat these, so I thought the tortilla would be soggy, but it tasted fresh and hot. I ordered Carne guisada, and it was tasty. I wish it could have been slightly spicy, but that's why they gave me salsa, which didn't pack much heat. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was good and definitely worth the money. It's also good portions of stuffing in the tacos. I ordered two but I'm sure I can only finish one.

Really good tacos. We had the carne guisada, bean and cheese, papas rancheras. It was very good, the taco salsa was very good as well. I noticed a lot of people were getting there tacos toasted so that might be the plan next time I’m here. The doughnuts were fresh and well made. The red one and the apple fritter was my favorite. The line was nuts though. Cars lined up down the street, and inside was lined from register to door the entire time I was there (Sunday 9am).
