The food is very good and the drink are good as well. The service was great and the wait for food was a reasonable. The wait was 10 to 15 minutes. Overall everything about this place was great. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on center Ave and E main st in Calipatria. It's in a tiny, quiet but more civilized place than nearby area. Ambiance: pop & mom donuts shop with food. Outdated but tolerable. Menu: donuts, drinks, snacks, burger to Mexican food. Service: relatively quick Parking: street - Gluttony Expedition - Beef tacos: big chunks of beef with nice salsa. Hard shells with cojita cheese, lettuce and tomato. Basic but edible. Not bad. - Conqueror's Deduction - It's located out of nowhere, but it's decent. They have a green Thai tea.... (Not orange one) read more

Donut Avenue - Torta de Carne Asada! - Donuts Near Me - Calipatria, California

Bad service we went to get donuts we were waiting as workers walked by no one helped us after a while the girl came the girl gave us a weird look and Shoved the donuts at us .We live here the place was empty the only nice girls that worked here were either fired or quite I wouldn't argue with them. read more

Not your typical donut shop. They serve Mexican, Chinese food along with hamburgers etc.

This cultural-mash-up oasis in the southeastern California desert has no parallel in my native San Diego. The name says donuts but it's ever so much more. Mexican food, including tortas, that comes with a high-quality salsa. Fat kid pizza & calzones. A 3-door commercial cooler. Quarter vending machines. An arcade room. It's all something of a boyhood dream, nay a dream come true even now. I can't decide if Donut Ave should prosper through greater renown, or stay hidden lest it become spoiled. Either way, Donut Avenue will always have been & that's gonna be enough for me read more

Donut Avenue - Middle of donut case & savory menu at Donut Avenue in Calipatria, Ca, USA - Donuts Near Me - Calipatria, California

Good food, just not enough for the price you pay. I ordered a Bistek Torta, got one thin flap of beef, one tomato slice, 2 onion rings some sauce and avocado, all in one big piece of bread. Super disappointed, and feeling cheated off my own money. -_- read more

Took my wife to dinner. First up, counter staff (2 females, one younger one older) seem bored, indifferent and distant, as if preoccupied with who-knows-what, almost like we were a bother. I think it may have annoyed them that we wanted to look at the menu on the wall, though we let another couple go ahead of us while we considered what we wanted. The wife ordered the Chimichanga's and I ordered the Taco Salad. When the younger, petulant faced female brought us the meal, she just casually tossed this chintzy, cheap-as-can be plastic wear onto the table to bounce and skid to a stop. Classy! As we sat there for our plastic wear to be tossed in our general direction, one starts to notice the place is dingy and unkempt, a 'greasy spoon' motif and not of the rustic, charming kind. The kind that says "be careful about touching anything". We were disappointed with both entree's. Bland and uninspired. I've had better Taco salads at a Denny's, and she's had better Chimi's at non "Mexican" restaurants-and frozen- as well (which these probably were). It's too bad, as some people seem to think this place as good food. Perhaps they were famished, or are friends with the Owners, or had their taste buds surgically removed? I wonder how. We saw no indication of it. Our orders were pretty basic Mexican fare and it's sad that better can be had at Taco Smell-I mean, Bell, of which I am not a big fan of. Lastly, their prices for what little quality one gets (i.e chicken strips) is outrageous. Maybe they have good doughnuts, but if this meal (lack of) quality and abysmal service is any indications, perhaps it is wise to stick to reasonably priced 'fake-food". read more

Was staying in town and had barely eaten all day. Starving, I drove up and down the main drag and this was 1 of the only 2 or 3 options in the whole town! But hey, some of the best Mexican food is found at little hole in the walls like this, decided to try them out. The menu here is pretty damn extensive! Pizza, donuts, Mexican, ice cream and some other stuff. I got a California burrito, 2 crispy tacos and a pizza roll up thing I forget exactly what it was called. Barely cost me $10 and it was all pretty great! Being so close to the border I expecting more authenticity, but it was still tasty regardless. The crispy tacos were like the home taco kits you get at the grocery store. If I ever find myself in the area again I'd definitely go back. Prices were right and the food was pretty good. read more

Both donuts shop & Mexican food. Good. Beef taco plate was tasty. 3 tacos, plenty of food. Just slightly off the main st. Nice people. Restroom is ugly, but everything worked ok. Easy parking. Friends had chimichanga & cheeseburger both liked it. read more

It looks like a humble donut shop, but the food is surprisingly good as well! Basic donut shop atmosphere, but darn good Mexican food, burgers, etc., and very inexpensive. A local favorite. read more

Not much to look at needs a deep cleaning but the the beef torta and chicken tostada are the best that iv had in California so far.

This is happening to me 4 times over the last 2 years today I called my order in from Niland California They said my order would be ready in 15 minutes I had to stop the hardware store right next door 1st went to get my order wasn't ready they messed up the order like they did the 3 times before that customer service is terrible not one person said sorry Sonthat's what happened today the time before last I went there for some food 30 minutes in advance when I got there they said my food wasn't ready and would be in 5 minutes It was a big order I said OK set down 20 minutes went back up there ask for my order and guess what It was there the whole time so my food was cold I refused and left did they apologise in no way they never say sorry customer service is everything specially in the food industry they need to learn to go the extra mile my camp in slab city has spent thousands of dollars there but we will not be going back no more We now driving to Brawley a little bit more gas mileage but better service read more

The best iced coffee I've had in a while! It was buy one get one. Delicious fresh doughnuts. Great food! Price.. not too bad.

Very dirty and run down. I had the sausage pizza and the sausage was bad. Went for a pepperoni and it was ok. On a separate trip I ordered a dozen donuts and a horchata. The lady helping was clearly intoxicated and spilled the horchata on the donuts. She refused to exchange the soggy donuts or transer them to a dry box. After some arguing another employee forced her to make it right. But she put the soggy donuts back on the rack to be sold. The biggest kicker was when she couldn't even count change. I don't recommend this place for anyone without health insurance. read more

The only place to eat out at on a Saturday afternoon? Everything in town was closed so we ate here, it wasn't bad. The restaurant was pretty rundown but there literally was nothing else. --Decent Mexican food- read more

Love this place! It doesn't look like much but the donuts are amazing and the Mexican food is delicious!! Even better, the girls who were working were so kind!! Next time we find ourselves super hungry around these parts, there will be no question! Did I mention how good the donuts were?? I don't even like donuts!! Light, airy, fluffy...so good! read more

This little diner has excellent pumpkin empanadas as well as a rather extensive menu... I had fish tacos which were quite tasty...And they give a choice of corn or flour tortillas...I had one of each... They are also a great stop for pizza, without having to drive 18 miles into Brawley from where I spend the winter, which has no pizza!.... The ladies working the counter are helpful and friendly...cost is moderate....definitely satisfies a craving.... Remember - Cash only read more

They pulled mold out of the cheese for my nachos and then had the nerve to try and serve the cheese to me ‍. Horrible place and they even put the cheese back in the fridge after throwing away mold from the same batch. The cook didn't get talked to and the staff acted like they did nothing wrong. The worst place ever!!! I would give it no starts but this site won't let me! Dirty , filthy, and clueless to the expectations of customers! read more

Great Food and Burrito's (Especially California Burrito) and VERY Accomodating for setting up, accepting large orders. I ordered, picked up a large lunch for 25 people, combo of burritos and pizza's, (burrito bags labeled and packed in a big box for me. Food enjoyed by ALL. ONLY Issue needs to accept Credit cards vs ONLY Cash in the near future : ( PLEASE!! read more

It's a donut shop/mexican joint/pizza parlor. Nothing remotely fancy, but in an area with little else, this place was a lifesaver. My wife and I feasted for a great price. The food was yummy, the portions were big, and the service was polite. read more

It's actually a Mexican food joint! Really good burritos & Mexican pastries. The Chile Colorado burrito was delicious. My husband said his carne asada burrito was great, too. We took a half dozen of the mexican bread and pastries at $2.99 they were worth it, not too sweet, just purfect! Looks crazy on the outside, but go inside and it's usually packed by the locals. read more

As a previous Imperial Valley resident, I know donut shops are where some good eats are at. I used to enjoy coming to this place with my boyfriend all the time and when we went the servers were awesome, when I came to visit the donut shop recently the person that helped me was quite rude, and even though the food was good, I feel they have to work on their customer service if they want to keep good regulars... read more

Honestly one of the best places I ate in California. Nothing fancy but the donuts are to die for. It was an extremely pleasant surprise while we were driving to salvation mountain and I hope that one day we will be back! read more

8 o'clock on a Tuesday night and the gal at the motel we just checked into told us our options for dinner were frozen food from Circle K or Donut Ave. Really? Dinner at a donut shop? Well they actually have food. Pizza, tacos, burgers, and sandwiches. I had never eaten a burger from a donut shop before. It hit the spot. The place was busy too. So the locals are fans. read more

I had a fantastic donut and my father in law liked the enchiladas but the place is run down with subpar service. Also they ONLY ACCEPT CASH. Pretty annoying but the donuts are worth it. read more

Staying in the local RV Park to visit the Sonny Bono Wildlife Refuge brings us here. Outside parked are truckers and workers coming and going. It is a no nonsense local hang. Donuts, Mexican food and Pizza. Surprisingly the Pizza was very homie tasting. No the dough is not hand tossed but for being in the middle of a agricultural area very good. Donuts we're fresh and prices reasonable. You will find other locations in the Imperial Valley. I would stop here again. Indoor seating available we did take out. read more

Me and few friends had order pizza Monday from them, all of us came down with severe food poisoning from eating there do not recommend.

the Machaca burrito is the bomb,i especially when you add sour cream and a few french fries to it

Great place to eat, I like the tortas de carne asada and Jamaica and their staff is good and friendly.
