This location is the best we've ever had. It's our halfway point on our drive to Socal. Their servings are huge, you won't get it anywhere else like this. Lots cheese, lettuce tomatoes and sour cream. It is the biggest location I've been to, with plenty of seating. It can get very busy during mealtimes, but people flow in and out. I think when it's really busy it's the passing thru crowds, because after all, it's Barstow? I like that they bring the food to your table, and the workers will also pick it up from your table too, not sure if that's to help move you along? They are always sweeping and wiping up keeping it clean. Restrooare always clean too. One of the best things? The little candy machine in the dining area. On this trip they had the yellow banana runts that hubby loves, and 25cents gets you alot! On the return trip they were outta bananas, they had regular runts and skittles, but still a big handful came out! Very generous! read more

Del Taco - Chili cheese fries and a soft chicken taco - Fast Food Near Me - Barstow, California

Great food and great service always good morning breakfast burritos always fresh and delicious and hot

They have the best chicken soft tacos. I never knew that this Del Taco was the original until reading the yelp reviews. Yes, their tacos are much bigger then the other Del Tacos and have to be the best I have had. Service was quick, prompt and accurate. read more

I'm trying to understand what is so great about this Del Taco. I went there today for the first time after hearing everyone I know hype it up. To start off, they had plenty of seating which caught my attention right away. We got the regular crunchy tacos and fries combo. The meat doesn't have flavor and the taco shells were stale. I did like that they put extra cheese on these tacos. The restrooms were fairly clean. The workers there weren't as friendly as I thought they would be. There is plenty of parking as well especially for larger vehicles. I'm honestly at a loss for words that I spent money here but now I can say I've tried it and I didn't like it. read more

Barstow Del Tacos are the best. It's not like most del tacos. It's like the Rolls Royce of del tacos. Go there.

Best Del Taco .... ! Super fast service and food and portions where awesome. Barstow Taco, Del Combo Burrito- yum!

This is a Del Taco Town. Seriously. We speak taco-ese: Red or Green? Bun-Taco; Seasoned Fries. We cannot tolerate the skimpy Del offerings in other locals. THIS IS A DEL TACO TOWN!!! read more

This Del Taco ROCKS!! I love stopping here on my way to Vegas!! Best Del Taco I've been to.

It has been many years since I visited this place that yerno Larry and his friends took me to. Best green burritos in the World besides all their other food. Great clean place. I miss it and wish we had one in Wichita Falls Texas. read more

The food is great and the service is what would be expected from a fast food restaurant. The ambience is very nice as well.

It was all good until I ordered macho steak nachos and received a burrito. Then went to let them kno and still did not receive what ordered. They brought me ground beef vs steak. And there were only 3 customers so it wasn't because they were busy or overwhelmed. Last time I get fast food. read more

There's just something about this deal taco , why can't more Del Tacos be like this??? Now I know it isn't as fancy or new as the majority of them but it is definitely unique as far as the items it offers. Others don't have the same menu and I wish I could get some of these things at other locations as well. If you haven't ever stopped in going through Barstow I suggest you give it a try. read more

On my 10 day stay in Barstow I've been here 3 times. The tacos keep calling my name. Best ones I've ever had.

The best Del Taco by far! Food is made right every time. The staff are very friendly as well.

Ordered the Barstow taco, red and green burritos and a soft taco. Food is pretty good here, not a fan of the ground beef taste or the uncut tomato on the Barstow taco but everything came out fast and friendly. Clean place and everything was nicely stocked and maintained, which is important to me, I hate a messy counter. I want to try the spicy chicken burrito, which looked pretty big and tasty, so next time for sure! read more

I am NOT exaggerating when I say that this is the best Del Taco location I have ever been to!!! My friends and I were driving back home from Vegas and we decided to make a pitstop at this Barstow Del Taco. I'm aware that this is fast food but it's way better than just fast food here. I ordered the chicken soft taco meal with fries and I have never received more chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese in my taco than I ever have here! It was so fresh and filling! They have all the sauces and condiments neatly organized on all the tables and there's a wide selection of drinks including various teas. I was very impressed and I kept talking about this Del Taco the entire way home LOL. It's that good!!! read more

I'm not going to try and convince you that this is the greatest authentic Mexican food you will ever have, because it's not. What it is, is the best Mexican fast food you'll ever have. It has become a family tradition for us to stop in Barstow for tacos on our way to Las Vegas for a delicious quick bite. I can't tell you why this can't be duplicated at other franchises but the food here is fresher and much tastier. If other fast food places had the same quality and service as Del Taco Barstow there would not be such a negative connotation associated with fast food. If like me you enjoy the simple things in life, like a quick taco or burrito, try the Del Taco in Barstow, you will not be disappointed. read more

Del Taco - Eats - Fast Food Near Me - Barstow, California

Best del taco I've been too portions are great and taste so much better looks better too and the fact I can go threw there in the RV with the trailer was AWESOME! HAHA read more

This is the greatest Del Taco location I've ever been to. Prices are a little higher but the amount of food is also much more. The vicinity is large and parking is easy. Clean bathrooms, great staff, and quickly prepared food. The perfect pit stop for any road trip. The food is heavily stuffed with ingredients. The sauces are easily accessible on the tables. There are bags and napkins available without needing to disrupt the employees. We ordered burritos and tacos and nachos. Every single item that we received were packed with delicious, freshly made, veggies and beans. I spent $15 to feed and satisfy four children plus myself. Truly perfect. I will never be able to be fully fulfilled with any other Del Taco location. You guys are great. Thank you. read more

Pleasantly surprised with the Del Taco for our pit stop. Hands Down THE BEST Del Taco we've visited. I just had to leave a review about. Normally don't expect too much for a fast food joint on a road trip, but Everything from the clean, spotless bathrooms to the clean, sanitized tables. There was staff wiping down tables, cleaning restrooms,ready to take orders and even serving the meals to our tables. By the far the most exceptional customer service I've ever had at Del Taco. Also the food was quick and so fresh. The tacos were loaded, burritos full and macho fries hot and crispy. Praise to all the great staff there for creating a fantastic experience. read more

Prices are much higher here then all other locations. Save your money and don't go here. Find another location

Who bookmarks a fast food restaurant? Who's trying to eat clean and chooses Del Taco for the week's only cheat meal? Who's got it better than us? All of the above for me.... I admit, I've had this specific Del Taco on my radar for about two months now. Why? Well, because Alicia R says so. When she struts and talks, we all listen. At least I do anyway. Alicia, aka Yes, told me that I need to make a pit stop at Del Taco Barstow the next time I'm passing the area. Here's what she had to say about this place; 1. One of the better tasting Del Taco's around. I won't find another Del Taco that comes even close. 2. They hook it up here 3. Price: everything is cheap Alicia's mom even schooled me about this place so I gots no choice. Del Taco Barstow of bust! What I experienced is exactly what Alicia has already brought to my attention...cheap food, hooked up, and pretty good. This place is also crazy busy, the service is great, and the restaurant is huge. I got their Bun Taco and Chicken Soft Taco. The Bun Taco is like a neater Sloppy Joe that's surprisingly airy. The Chicken Soft Taco was really good too and had enough meat to meet my protein needs. I also met a few locals that swear by the place and come here weekly. In all, I was surprised that this place was pretty good. There's actually a variety at this restaurant and the burritos will be my next try. I don't do fast food much anymore, but when I do, I prefer Del Taco Barstow. Stay hungry my friends. read more

On a recent visit, they had me order far away from the menu. And the guy taking my order wouldn't answer questions about the menu. They have random things on their menu that aren't on other del taco menus read more

BEST DEL TACO EVER. But I'm sure you've heard that before. This was my second time here. The first time was several years ago and it was a random stop, I wasn't aware at that time of the historical significance behind this location, being one of the original 3 (The "El Tri"). I just thought it was a well run Del Taco. Everything is done perfectly here. It is super clean and the food is extra good. They even bring your order to your table a la' Carls Jr. I am already a big del taco fan, and I have certain locations I love and others I don't. This is one of the best. I wish it was closer to home so I can frequent it, but that would probably ruin the magic of this location a little. Now it's reserved only as a pit stop during Vegas road trips. As 4th of July is this week, they had a huge booth right outside the parking lot selling Fireworks.galore. This added to the "middle of nowhere desert location" feel to the place. Also, a homeless man asked me for money right outside. I said Sorry and moved inside. He followed me in and sat down at the adjacent booth and placed a foot long sheathed knife (LONG RIGID KNIFE!) onto the table while he sipped his free drink refill. This also added to the magical "middle of nowhere desert location" feel. I then realized he may not have been asking me for change outside, but was mugging me. My spicy jack chicken quesadilla and "Barstow chicken taco" were so good I barely even got anxious turning my back to him as I enjoyed my meal. They have little baskets of hot sauce ON EVERY TABLE. There are 3 in Barstow, but this is the one that has won me over. You just can't beat this del taco location. read more

When I had an office downtown, I would occasionally drop by the Del Taco on B Street. Now that I've been retired for a while, it was neat to try the Del Taco in Barstow on a recent trip to Sin City. Wow, what a difference, this place rocks ! Although my expectations were modest, I was very impressed by the size and taste of the Del Beef Burrito ($3.59). Much better than the downtown San Diego location. And they serve Coca-Cola, not Pepsi. Yay! Fast service, good food, Coke, and a veritable army of workers in the kitchen, this place is where you want to stop for a quick snack on your way to Lost Wages. read more

If you're going or coming back from Vegas and looking for a quick grab, definitely stop by here! My boyfriend had mentioned that this was the OG Del Taco and when I searched it up, I was so shocked to see such a high rating. Needless to say, this has become a regular stop for us on our way back from Vegas. The restaurant is very clean and the service is great. They bring your food to you and all the sauces are nicely placed on each table. The tacos are PACKED. We always get the grilled chicken tacos (with sauce) and the regular barstow taco. Do not be like me an order 8 tacos only to leave with 5 tacos for lunch the next day (which by the way was still delicious). All the employees were nice and friendly. Will never be satisfied with any other Del Taco locations in socal after visiting this one. + Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos w/ sauce read more

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the specific one I went to, but I remember it's near Popeye's. Ok... so I'm not a huge fast food fan. To me, Del Taco is better than Taco Bell... but in general it's not my number 1 fast food destination necessarily. And it's actually kinda odd that I want to give this place a 4. I guess in general, it's still fast food so not a 4 compared more authentic tacos... but compared to other Del Tacos and fast food, I'd say yes, much better. My friend told me... the Taco Bell in Barstow is muuuch better then other locations. I took this with a grain of salt at first, thinking.. yah sure... fast food is fast food... But this location does seem to be better then the usual Del Taco (in the Irvine/OC areas at least). They are better filled in all aspects. More meat, more cheese, more veggies... though not in a huge gluttonous sort of way... just better balance considering the tortilla and such. ++ for the fact that they asked if I would like sauce in my chicken soft taco... !!!!... thx! I really prefer not to have the sauce usually and no one's ever asked me before... I was like... omg! no I would not like any sauce! thx for asking!... I had always grown accustomed to just taking it as is :) The spicy chicken quesadilla was good too and my friend reported the carne asada taco al carbon was pretty darn good too (for fast food). So for a fast food joint and Del Taco, definitely a 4 stars... but yah it's still fast food :) So yah, my fast food of choice on the usual stop in Barstow on my way to Vegas is now either In-n-Out... or Taco Bell :) read more

People who never had Barstow del taco is missing out . Some of the best food you will ever eat . Foods always fresh and tastes way better than any del taco out there . read more

Went through the drive thru and ordered the 2 combo burrito with sour cream and the 3 soft chicken tacos and a strawberry shake. This is the first Del Taco I've ever been to where they make the food look just like the advertisements... they don't skimp on any of the ingredients. The service is fast and friendly too. read more

If you have never been to this Del Taco, you have no idea what you are missing. This is the first Del taco built and the food taste totally different. It is so much better. If you stop here you must try the Barstow taco. It is so good and doesn't even compare to the other tacos at any other Del Taco. Everything here is different, the beans, cheese, meat and even the wrappers are old school. The only downside to this place is that the bathrooms are usually dirty because this place is so busy. I honestly think they do not have a lot of time to clean them. I know that is gross, but man the food is good here. read more

Del Taco - Best Del Taco ever - Fast Food Near Me - Barstow, California

Stopped on this place on our way back from Vegas. This location does not serve beyond meat, just FYI, no vegan options other than fries

These clowns refuse to use bags, they'll give you you're drive thru order on a flimsy cardboard tray where all your fries go flying everywhere as you try to exit back onto the street. read more

A little slow but worth the wait as this is one of the 3 locations in Barstow that has a different menu the the rest del tacos in the US because this is actually an original one. Food is by far much better. Burritos are huge. Highly recommend stopping here read more

It was ok. My chicken burrito was cold so I didn't really eat it. The fries and nacho cheese that I also got was good the fries were nice and fresh. If it wasn't for my chicken burrito being cold I would give it 5 stars. read more

This is the best Del Taco we have ever been to. Makes me not even want to go to other Del Tacos now. The food is amazing here. Service is great. Drive thru line moves very quick. We stop here every trip to Vegas or Havasu. read more

It's always packed there the line is always long but there is another Del Taco out here maybe a couple miles away like 3 or 4 miles not far

Unexpected discovery! I'm a fan of Del Taco in general, but this one is special enough to warrant mention. 1) The portions are giant. At first I just thought everything was overpriced (e.g. CST - chicken soft taco at $1.70). Thanks to Yelp, I realized their Barstow menu items are not just a gimmick, but actually bigger and worth the price difference so I ordered more to be sure. The CST has so much more meat it doesn't fold and close (see picture). The bacon and egg quesadilla looks like it's on steroids, and we actually had to pull out and throw away cheese (a good thing)... the tortilla was super light and crispy, and I'm thinking the best quesadilla I've ever had. 2) It's OG here. Del Taco started here in Barstow and the 3 DTs in Barstow are historic (the very first one was actually North of here in Yermo). Now it makes sense why it looks so old on the outside. 3) Service and pride of ownership. Right away you can tell something is different here. The workers are friendlier and nicer. The building is old and dated but clean. The sauce packets are neatly organized on every table with plenty of each kind of sauce, all standing up and facing the same way - not a random crumpled pile like I'm used to. No other DT is like this, and other places in Barstow don't have particularly good or memorable customer service. I've never eaten at DT on the way home from Vegas before but it's a nice change from the usual fast food options. It's not too crowded because it's an extra block from the freeway (exit Main East on the I-15). My new favorite pit stop on this route! read more

I've been to a LOT of Del Taco, and normally when we're around this area, we go to the one by the outlets, but we tried this one and by far the best.

Del Taco has 3 locations in Barstow, including the original location. What I don't get is that none of the 3 offer customers a value meal. They do have special items that you can't get at other Del Tacos which I find cool. The food quality, along with service is good. read more
