2 donuts 1 torta milanesa $20 Service is always outstanding my stomach is so happy 😊 super yummy
My favorite donut and torta shop! Their torta bread is some of the best I’ve ever had, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The donuts are so yummy and fresh. The coffee is strong and tastes amazing! I got an iced tres leches and my man ordered a horchata iced espresso. We both loved them! We can’t wait to come back and try their breakfast menu!
the shop itself is beautiful!! i love the attention to detail they put into the donuts and the box the donuts come in. unfortunately they weren’t to die for but they were okay! they’re very fluffy and light which i love, but it also felt in a way something was missing. the sweetest from the frosting was a perfect touch to help the donut out, but for $15 for 4 it wasn’t really the smartest financial decision. i would say give it a try if you’re in the area, support local shops!
Hands down one of the best donut shops in San Diego. I have never been to a donut shop and ordered a dozen donuts and each one of them tasted above average. Honestly, I was a little blown away because I wasn’t expecting such quality donuts. They are a good size donut, FRESH, perfect amount of filling in the jelly donuts, not overly sweet, and decently priced ($33/12= $2.75 each). My favorites were the Gansito, guayaba, chocolate abuelita, and carlota di limon. I can’t wait to go back and try the other Mexican specialty ones like the horchata, arroz con leche, cajeta, and mazipan. For those who give one star reviews because you went at 1:30 PM in the afternoon to get donuts, that is your own problem. You can’t expect to go to a donut shop after lunchtime and have an entire selection of donuts. The best time to go to a donut shop for the best selection is about 30 minutes after opening. Thank you Barrio Donas for the amazing treats. I’m so glad you’re opening a National City location. Fourth location should be Chula Vista! 😜
