    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    We stopped in for a little breakfast snack and to use the restroom. The place is clean, and spacious. The cashier who assisted us was a perfect gentleman on an early Saturday morning. The restrooms were clean. The food was served piping hot and fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for what it was. Thanks!

The food was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was made from scratch--which I believe it was. Every bite of our wet, chicken burrito and steak burrito with everything in it, was delicious. Although it's a true hole-in-the-wall spot, that's part of its charm. The service was warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food exceeded our expectations. This place is an absolute gem, and it has officially become a must-stop whenever I'm traveling between Southern California and Las Vegas. Highly recommend!
