    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 was delighted to find the restroom to be single use AND clean as a whistle - I mean, look at that perfectly clean tile! The entire snack shop was aesthetically pleasing in the display and had more than you'd expect for a gas station mart. I am often shopping in this area and will make sure to stop in for gas, nibbles and for sure if I need a five star restroom.

However--for the last 3 to 4 years, in particular--this gas station has elevated its customer service to a whole new level! 1) Daniel (the new manager) has completely transformed this place; not only did he introduce a new fast-food service--featuring items like fried chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, veggie egg rolls, and a variety of breakfast burritos (such as chorizo, birria, bacon and eggs, or sausage and eggs)--but he also ensured that the service is delivered with genuine friendliness. Furthermore, I constantly see him checking in--walking in and out of the store--to ensure that everything remains clean and impeccable. 2) Mary and Gonzalo are part of the station's excellent team; they always strive to keep things running smoothly, serving customers with both friendliness and speed. In the mornings, they always make sure to have fresh coffee ready. And finally, 3) Henry--the night-shift assistant--is an employee I have *never* seen work with a bad attitude or treat a customer rudely! In fact, he knows many customers by name--myself included--which makes you feel like more than just a customer; they make you feel like part of the Sinclair Gas Station family. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this gas station, located at Deep Canyon and Highway 111 in Palm Desert!

They never seem to have a good selection of hot foods when I'm here, and what is available, looks like it's been there a while.

The car wash works but be prepared to have to finish drying your windows and side mirrors if you plan on heading out on the highway. It is on the corner of a major intersection, so you can only really access if you're heading the right direction or want to pull a U-turn.

There was plenty of parking and area to drive around cars (not all gas stations are like this) and the Circle K snack market looked almost upscale with nice lighting and a great selection of items. I was able to grab 20 of my drinks and was helped with the bags. The only negative was the state of the restroom - the sink area looked like a crime scene and I worried I might get the plague after using it. There was graffiti on the door and it just gave filth vibes. Totally in contrast to the rest of the very clean store. I hope they glow up the bathroom here because it is a big negative as people remember where the nasty bathrooms are and will use an alternate station for all their future needs. Women especially.
