    Bun Taco
    Tinamarie M.

    The service is great. The restaurant is clean. We have been stopping here for years and my last 2 visits have just been okay. The fries were warm, but I feel like my bun taco is just warm enough not to say it's cold. The meat is not juicy and the cheese is so cold that it just sits in top of it. Disappointed. It's not like it used to be.

    The original Del Taco in Beautiful Barstow.

    If you like Del Taco and you're passing through Barstow, this is a must stop. This is the original Del Taco (some argue that the Del Taco on 1st streets the original). They don't sell a regular "snack" taco or a regular grilled chicken taco, they only have the Barstow for these two items and they are super sized. They are at least twice the size if not larger than the regular you'd get at another location. I use to drop by here on the way back from the river in my younger days (they do have limited parking if you are hauling your boat). I forgot how huge the portions were and made the mistake of getting my normal 2 grilled chicken tacos a couple of months back. One is enough! All the associates are very friendly and greet you with a smile!

    Clean restaurant, service was friendly and quick and as always, Barstow Del Tacos are the best! The amount of meat in the Barstow tacos is so generous! Picked up the newest shirt while visiting.

    The good ice

    A must stop on the way to Vegas. This Del Taco location is one of the original Del Tacos and it shows. The ingredients actually taste fresh, which is not always the case with fast food. The chicken soft taco was stuffed full and overflowing, not skimpy at all. They also have the good ice, which is a huge bonus on a road trip. Easily one of the best Del Taco stops out there.

    Tostada
    Jonnell T.

    One of the original Del tacos. We grabbed a couple things of their classic menu. The tostada... the beans were really good. They were fresh and seasoned. Everything else was everything else. I should've tried the bun taco . Nothing to write home (or Yelp) about.

    Very disappointed I did a drive thru order today,I ordered seasoned fries well,well done and my jack cheese quesadilla well done as well.I had to pull up and wait when I got home I noticed my fries were not fried to my liking or seasoned(but they sure charged me).There was barely any cheese in my jack cheese quesadilla I order here frequently.I usually dine in and I notice how my food is prepared differently when I order take out it's just not the same as dining in.I think the cooks and and food preps can do a better job not a happy customer.

    Food I've eaten del taco for about 25 years and this is the best experience I've had. Yes, the food is pricey but the quality is excellent for fast food. Barstow taco - 4.6/5 Chicken tostada - 4.4/5 Jack cheese chicken quesadilla - 4.7/5 Carrot cake - 4.5/5 Service 4.5/5

    Ok, I have never reviewed a fast food restaurant in all my Yelping years but this place deserves all the stars. First, this location is one of the original locations opened. Second, this location serves some of the best food ever. Whenever I am bound for California I make a choice to stop here for breakfast, lunch or a snack and I am never disappointed. Service is absolutely stellar and the restaurant itself is so clean thanks to the employees that work here. I always get my food to go and when I open the wrapper of my Del Taco it is bursting with cheese, yes a ton of cheese. Other Del Taco locations do not load their tacos the way this location does. Thank you! Should you find yourself feeling the pangs of hunger and you are traveling on the I15, stop here to satisfy those pangs and your tummy will thank you.

    Thought it was so cool to eat at the original Del Taco You could tell when you went in it was very different Lots of space to sit, history items on the walls And the food was just so much better! The size of the chicken soft taco compared to others was crazy Everything tasted fresh and so good I really enjoyed myself Service was fast and friendly

    Look at the sauce organization!!!

    What can I say. The interior is perfect and has that classic nostalgic charm of a fast food restaurant that's missing from modern fast food establishments. I yearn for a Del Taco experience like this. Everything, from the fries to the food exuded perfect craftsmanship and familiarity. The service was excellent, the cashier made small talk and our food was ran out to us with speed and efficiency. I will be back.

    The hype is kinda true. Definitely better than your typical Del Taco, but prices are higher as well. Will I go back? Hell yeah. I love Del Taco and an elevated Del Taco is worth the extra cost. The Barstow taco and green burrito were the stand outs for me. The taco shell just seemed crisper, the beef fresher and the green sauce was like the good old days where you could actually taste it. The beef combo burrito was really good as well, but didn't stand out like the taco and green burrito. I love that the sauces are on the table as well, cause I drench my food with Del Scorcho sauce.

    Nice place.

You actually have to go up the street and come back down past the Tesla charging stations. I made it just fine. My fam got a little turned around. Apparently GPS doesn't really know where this joint is. Nevertheless, we all found our way and pulled in about 30 seconds apart. There is a good selection of burgers to choose from here. My mom and I each got a chili burger. My step dad went with a western bacon burger. They were brought to our table in a reasonably short time. The chili burgers came out first followed less than a minute later by the western. The chili on the chili burgers was nicely flavored with a bit of spice. It was not really the best choice of chili style for a burger but it was darn good. It was rather thin, though, and didn't hold on to the burger very well. Made for a messy burger. I used at least 6 napkins. Please don't misunderstand these comments as criticism. Its not. Simply a heads up that this is a "drip down your arm" mess of goodness. Pro tip, use your fries to scoop up the chili that drips out of the burger. Boom, instant chili fries. My step dad's western burger looked great. Big onions rings, crispy bacon and lots of BBQ sauce. He enjoyed it. I didn't try it myself so I can't say much more about that. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. There is a TV in the corner playing old cartoons. And a bay of toy machines for the kids and kids at heart. A good family type of restaurant. This is close to half way between my fam and me. That makes this a good place for future weekend meet ups.

First, and probably the most important, they don't have Diet Pepsi, but Pepsi Zero. And Pepsi Zero is just awful. And yes, I tried it. I admit that I'm a fan of Coke products, but I'll survive on Diet Pepsi, never, but never Pepsi Zero. So that alone makes me not want to come here anymore. This trip, the girl taking our order seemed confused. Maybe she was new? But it didn't help that we had to explain we wanted a bowl of Chili, and even though it's not on the menu, they could sell it. I personally didn't want a burger this time, so I ordered a chicken sandwich, which is basically just chicken tenders on a bun. Not very impressed, but it wasn't as bad as Pepsi Zero. They do get credit for having a "senior" menu, which I ordered from. And I appreciate that they have tater tots. It seemed like a smaller portion, but it was actually perfect for me.

Nothing memorable. Now, I will give credit where it's due. The thin fries were actually pretty good, even though my daughter jokingly called them "Ozempic fries" and honestly... she wasn't wrong. What saved this visit from dropping lower were the shakes and the service. The Signature Turtle Shake and Oreo Double Trouble Shake were fire. I'm not even a sweets person, but I kept going back for more of my wife's shake. Staff was also friendly and welcoming, which helped soften the disappointment. Overall, come for the shakes, maybe skip the mains.

Tucked away off Victor Street in Barstow, this was a fun find while driving back to Los Angeles from Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. Big props to Haley M., who was basically running a one-woman show and somehow kept the entire place moving with a great attitude and solid service. That alone made the stop memorable. The location has a cool, laid-back vibe with plenty to keep people entertained while grabbing food and drinks. They've got two billiards tables, a dart board, and all kinds of classic bar games, board games, and card games, including UNO, which is a family favorite. They also have several televisions. The food was all good too. I really enjoyed the Green Chili Burger, and everyone else in my party seemed genuinely happy with their meals as well. I felt they were trying to nickel and dime when I got the bill, i was charged for a side of ranch, a side of BBQ, and had no idea I was being up charged for the onion rings. I didn't say a word, but it hit wrong with me. .75 points deducted. What especially stood out to me, though, was the Memorial Day place setting displayed near the front entrance honoring our veterans and fallen heroes. It was simple, respectful, and genuinely touching. See my picture. That detail said a lot about the heart behind this place. If you're making the Vegas-to-LA drive and want something more memorable than the usual freeway fast-food stop, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great atmosphere, friendly energy, and one of those spots you end up talking about later.
