Doughboy's Cafe — Restaurant in Odessa

Regarding breakfast burritos only, as it was my first time in the store; the rest of the food may have been great.

Specifically regarding the sausage in the sausage egg and cheese breakfast burritos:

Was this Italian sausage? If so, being from both South Texas and well versed in (cooking and eating) breakfast tacos, I have NEVER experienced sausage with this taste in a burrito or taco.

I never want to again.

Three of us who ordered it all commented on how unexpected and undesirable this taste was. Two of us finished then because we didn't want to waste them after spending more than they should have cost for them.

If it was Italian sausage, it should, always in all cases, be labeled "Italian sausage" and never simply "sausage", as it's a different thing altogether.

If it was not Italian sausage, it is even more concerning, coming from families that raised hogs and made their own sausage and having grown up on breakfast tacos, as we call them, yet are as big or bigger than these burritos.

This was unquestionably my least favorite breakfast burrito regarding taste that I can ever remember purchasing.

The price, especially for not including cheese, was overpriced.

Again, I am from south Texas, and expect more for breakfast tacos/burritos.

Try, instead, the Torta or donuts, or another flavor burrito, perhaps?

Several months later, having gathered with another who had this burrito in this day, it was brought up how poorly this tasted. It's the most negatively memorable burrito in a combined 150 years between the...

Don’t let the look of this place deceive you - it has a huge reputation for its sweet treats and Mexican baked goods! I absolutely love this place.

It’s a really cute place on the inside, but on the outside, you can’t tell it’s a bakery and cafe that is so popular by locals. It looks kinda dreary on the outside, but please give this place a try. Every time I come here, folks and regulars keep popping in, happy and looking forward to their purchase. That’s an excellent sign. The customer service is also splendid!

I highly recommend the sweet potato and pineapple empanadas as well as their scones (white chocolate blueberry, I think??). The scones are a bit on the stiff/rocky side. The outer edges of their empanadas do tend to get very dry (no filling reaches the edges either) but the inside pockets are still worth it.

They look so ordinary but pack a mouthful! Also, their donuts are also very light, airy and extremely SOFT to bite into.

Their thumbprint cookies are also quite pretty and...

Good food and coffee overall. I don't know that you can make a "Great" breakfast burrito but you can ruin them. They didn't ruin them. Very tasty with a good spicy verde sauce. Donuts were very good. Haven't had a chocolate glazed donut that good in I don't know how long. Pumpkin donut was fairly good as well. The coffee was flavorful and smooth. Not burnt like Starbucks. Worth checking out. I'd want to try their kolaches next time.

To update: Their Chile Verde Burrito rocked my world. I believe in freedom but in this case everyone should be required to buy one am enjoy the spicy, porky, goodness. Their bean and cheese was super flavorful too which is hard to do. This is a gem in Odessa. Dallas would be jealous for a...
