Original Del Taco Location

I originally debated between stopping at one of the older in operation Del-Taco franchised locations within Barstow or this first original Del-Taco in Yermo. I decided to stop here and I'm so so glad I did. I had the chance to talk with Richard and learn a bit more about the restaurant among other things during a slow time as the only customer. Very friendly and I got to glimpse the story and history behind the restaurant and how their family are continuing their own spin at this original location. They serve tacos, burritos, fries, and burgers at reasonable prices. The taco I had was great and everything tasted fresh. So it is the original Del Taco location AND moreso Tita's Burger Den 🍔 🌮🌯 Richard did mention that sometimes they do need to close the restaurant from customers (during normal operating hours) if they receive large orders from the nearby military base with it being a small place. I suggest to call ahead to check if they're open and definitely give this place a try. It's the story and charm which will have me coming back when driving to and from Las Vegas.

Stopped off here on route from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, Richard and his lovely mum served us. They were closed for two months but have just opened up again. The atmosphere was so welcoming and Richard took his time telling us about the area and places we could go to for the rest of our time in America. The food was amazing and made with such care, highly recommend the food. Its worth a stop. Thanks Richard and we hope the business thrives again after your reopening!

This is such a cool stop! It is the original Del Taco, built in 1961. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. The carne asada burrito and crunchy taco were delicious! This should be a stop on your trip through this area!

This place is definitely overlooked by everyone who just keeps going down the highway. Stopped at the exit before to check out a store everyone was recommending but found myself underwhelmed by the stale $9 gummy worms. I kept driving to check out the Original Del Taco and am really happy with my decision. The food was awesome, the portions were generous and the cost was super reasonable. Just make sure you have cash on you. Richard took our order and was super polite and helpful. I am definitely adding this place as a stop when traveling highway 15 from now on

Stopped by the gas station up the street and decided to drive the block to check this place out. Food prices are great and far more reasonable than anytime in the area. Plenty of parking and picturesque views of the nearby mountains. I would recommend going to Eddie's world for the restroom and stopping by here for food.

We just dropped by this morning and no one there. But it’s interesting to see how a taco place started from here.

I'm a Del Taco fan from way back!! Super exciting to see the original location still exists. I would love to see it Operational again someday. Save our food history. 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮

When you talk about hole in the wall this is definitely that place. There were a few CHP officers eating there and we were inclined to give it a chance. Boy tthe food was absolutely amazing. We ordered a double cheeseburger with fries, 2 hard tacos. They were absolutely delicious. We met the owner and his 80 year old mom who run the place. They are simple people who serve amazing food. We will be returning.
