Where To Stop On Your Road Trip From LA To Vegas - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Yes, the actual original Del Taco opened down the road in Yermo and we don’t care. That one bit the dust years ago and the 51 year-old Barstow location is now considered Del Taco #1. Hallelujah. Sure, there’s a squeaky clean Del Taco right by the highway in Barstow but what fun is that? It’s jam-packed and NOT THE OLDEST SURVIVING DEL TACO IN THE WORLD. Drive the extra five minutes into town and pay homage to stoner history. Pro Tip: Tell your cashier friend to “Go Bold” and you’ll be getting fries and special sauce added into every item you ordered. Life is beautiful." - brant cox

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!

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.

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.

This is the best burger and fries I’ve ever had! I’m not usually one to be wowed by food but this burger had me hooked after the first bite! Definitely found my new favorite stop on road trips to Cali.

Apparently the original Del Taco. Big, if true. There was signage which appeared to be for a newer burger restaurant, but much of the Del Taco signage was still there. Either way, the whole thing was closed when I was there.

I drove by on Sunday so I don't know if it's closed for Good or just on sundays, but this is the place that claims to be the original del Taco location. The town is all but dead, but it is right across the freeway from calico town.
