We also bought a carne asada burrito and it held up well for the 2 hour drive home. It was surprisingly very good to-go. The meat was flavorful, we did not need to re-heat it, very good. Service was good! We were the first ones in there around 10:20am on a Sunday. Will be stopping here instead of the busy Eddie World.

Overpriced for the quality…read more Honestly, I only stopped here to grab some food so I could use the restroom. Unfortunately, the restroom was poorly maintained and didn't have any seat covers. The meat also had an unusual color and was overly salty. Considering the amount of business they're likely getting from the Tesla charging station outside, I think they could really invest in improving the overall appearance of the place and, more importantly, the quality of the food. Maybe they don't feel the need to because so many customers are just passing through and they won't see them again, but in my opinion, there's definitely room for improvement.

So this is the original location of the very first Del Taco. I believe it opened up originally in…read morethe early 1960's The food was actually really good, there was a round kid and I think his Mom making Tacos and burgers and I think they said they are open until they run out of food. Again, the food was good and the service was great. In your way to Vegas you should stop and check this out. It was KOOL thinking about how the old two lanes highway in front of this restaurant was the way to Vegas. There was no interstate 15. I wonder how many times my grandma and grandpa stoped here or did they just drive right by! SO KOOL !!

Just beyond EddieWorld is a local run down burger stand. It may look deserted, but I assure you…read moreit's still operational. If you're tired of the tourist crowds and lines at EddieWorld, I recommend this place for the convenience. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.

If you are traveling to…read moreor from Las Vegas, you have no doubt passes on the freeway and wondered what the heck it is. This place is definitely one to take a breakout, go to the restroom, buy some snacks and purchase a whole bunch of stuff. Of stuff you never even knew you needed or wanted. Seriously, so much to see and do in this place. It could eat up a couple hours with no problem. They definitely have enough gas pumps to take care of a huge crowd, more plushed animals than I have seen in one location, a full-blum food court, more snacks than you could possibly eat in a lifetime, and of course homemade ice cream! Like no fooling, this place is definitely one you want to bring the whole family to. But don't blame me if you walk out of there with your credit cards maxed out. That's on you my friend. Bottom line? If you are ever going to or from Las Vegas Nevada you really need to stop and check this place out. It is worth getting off the freeway for.

I ate almost the entire plate and drank every bit of the rich, flavorful stew that came with it. So delicious, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'm currently trying to lose a few pounds, but this meal was 100% worth the calories! Highly recommend this spot especially the birria tacos and the chicken burritos. Definitely a must try if you're passing through Barstow!

Driving from San Diego to Las Vegas, my friend and I started hearing that all-too-familiar rumble…read morein our stomachs. We still had about 200 miles to go, and all that was left in the car was coconut water and a few pretzels--not exactly a satisfying meal! I opened Yelp to see what Barstow had to offer, and Chelas Y Carnitas immediately caught my eye. I'm so glad we made the stop. 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!

Everything was insanely flavorful, and I'm not even a "bean" person, I hate beans... but these pinto beans were delicious! The workers are so welcoming and friendly, and checked on us often.

The blend was simple and yummy. It was big and I could only eat 1/2. The salsa was spicy and also flavorful. My partner had a torta and said the mess to eat it was worth it! Again, another good decision. The staff were friendly and helpful! We had a dog and so they let us take 2 chairs outside to eat. Thank you! The "ambience"was perfect for a late lunch as we were passing through town. I highly recommend this restaurant. As someone else said, don't let the location in a strip mall stop you.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely appreciated--not just like another order. That kind of customer service makes a big difference. Great food, great people, and a place I'd gladly come back to again. If you're looking for a casual spot with bold flavor and excellent service, Fuzzy's is definitely worth the visit. Highly recommended! Also they have a ton of room for parties even a private section you can use!!

Asked if I could have a few chips for the side that comes with it. Just a flat out NO. I asked, just a few chips instead of rice or beans, again NO, but he added, " If it ain't on my screen, im not doing it". So i said ok, thanks, and walked out. I hope that was a lack of training, but with the other interaction I saw with the guy in front of me, I doubt it. Place had 4 other customers, and that's it, empty. I can see why.

A Little Mexican Food Gem in the Middle of Nowhere!…read more Okay, Barstow... you surprised us! We stumbled upon this charming little Mexican restaurant tucked inside a La Quinta hotel, which is probably not where we expected to find such a delicious and authentic meal! We stopped in for Sunday brunch and were so glad we did. The staff was friendly and welcoming, everything was clean, and the food was the real star of the show. We had chile verde, pozole, and homemade tortillas--and those tortillas were SO good! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and homemade. They also had an omelette bar, plus some very tempting churros and donuts for those who believe breakfast should end with dessert. (We do.) Honestly, this was such a fun little find in an unexpected place. If you're road-tripping through Barstow, this is absolutely a place to put on your list. Whether you're heading between LA and Vegas or just passing through, it's worth making the stop. Great food, great staff, clean surroundings, and a surprisingly authentic Mexican brunch in the middle of nowhere! Travelers: save this one! You may not expect to find a food gem inside a hotel in Barstow, but this one is definitely worth the detour.

We ate anyway. It was good. My husband had a fresco melt and he liked it. I do think the service would have been better had there been any other customers, or maybe not the middle of the night? The waiter was refilling things behind the counter, but prepping them in the back first so it was difficult to get his attention. We finished with no napkins or utensils (glad we both got sandwiches and tots, lol) washed our hands, paid, and left. While waiting for our food we washed up and checked out the retro art/ads, pretty cool vibe. Overall, I probably wouldn't make my husband come back, but if he suggested it I wouldn't say no, so make of that what you will, lol.

Fun diner. Great prices…read more The location is a short drive off the freeway. This diner is definitely a staple in the desert. It is original and has been here since the 50s. The food tastes good. There's lots of seating. I ordered one of the burgers, and the meat patty was cooked just right had had flavor. I ordered a side broccoli cheddar soup, and the waitress said it was made in house. It did taste home made. Lots of marines were there when I visited, the AC didn't work too well, and the wait staff were pretty busy. I definitely want to return and try other plates. I hear the breakfast is awesome.

Just like most people, we always drive on by as we make our way to Vegas. This time, we decided to…read moremake it a point to stop by on our way back from Vegas to California. We came in on a Friday afternoon, around lunchtime, and were surprised to see that the place was busy! There are a lot of tourists that stop by - and rightfully so, as they have decorated the place very uniquely. We were told the wait for a table would be around 20 minutes, were handed a beeper, and were encouraged to wait by the gift shop. The gift shop offers Thrifty Ice Creams, other sweet treats, and so many different merchandise items! It was definitely a nice stop to stretch your legs and to browse around. After our beeper went off, we were escorted to our booths and met our waitress. It took her a while to come by and help us with our orders. I mean, it's lunch rush; the place inside is loud, a bit chaotic, and honestly, it just has a charm on its own. Their walls are tacked with pictures and posters, and I love the little fact booklet showing how much everything cost back in 1996. Finally, after placing our orders, the food came! We ordered grilled cheese with French fries for the kids, tuna melts, NY steak strips, and root beer float. The kids' meals were solid; they loved them, and the root beer was great and refreshing! I loved that it came first so that we could enjoy it on a really hot day! So the float was much needed. The tuna melts and the steak itself were really good, great even. The sides were okay - the corn that came with the steak seems like it came out of a can; the mashed potatoes were dense and heavy, and while it may be a great solid side, it was a bit too heavy and a bit saltier than our preference. The tuna melts came with French fries, which we upgraded to onion rings. The onion rings were delicious; we'll need a bigger portion next time! The soup of the day was clam chowder, and we appreciated that it was delicious. We were initially missing a few things for the table, but our waitress checked in on us multiple times and eventually got us everything we needed. She also explained that their dishwasher was down or having an issue, but even then, they got through the lunch rush that Friday afternoon. We finished our meal and walked through the gift shop toward the back of the diner. There, we found a duck pond with 3 ducks and a lot of turtles in the water who seemed hungry, as they approached us immediately when we looked at them, plus some neat statues and a stage! Overall, it is a neat place to stop by at least once! If you don't have time to sit down and have lunch or dinner, you can always stretch your legs in the gift shop and perhaps enjoy a thrifty ice cream or a root beer float.
