First Del Taco & Eating at Original Barstow Location - Last Day of Fall 2020 Cross Country Road Trip

Final Day of Fall 2020 Cross Country Road Trip

[@Camquarters]

When I stopped at the one in Barstow an elderly man saw me taking photos indoors and he approached me and shook my hand and introduced himself. Turns out he was the founder of Del Taco ! Took a photo together.

[@twatbass]

thats awesome please share it!

[@horseathalt7308]

@cam q Please share the photo very cool.

When you mentioned Huell Howser it brought back all sorts of memories. Huell lived here in Nashville before moving on to California and he was well liked. I watched every episode of California Gold including the one you mentioned. Huell was a sweet spirit and I miss him very much. Thanks for the new series and thanks to Natalie for adding some fun to the mix.

[@JEK]

Huell was the best, and sort of a godfather to those on youtube showing us the wonderful history of CA landmarks.

[@brianmatthews4149]

His little museum they set up at the Chapman university is cool.its free .they just ask for a small donation.

[@dablinne]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I grew up in Barstow and ate del taco all the time. This is first time I have seen anything about Barstow or del taco in over 15 years. Thanks for the video!

[@daronmarkley826]

Loved this video Adam the first Del Taco you showed I thought was quite interesting and I love the desert 🌵 and the shots you got of that building with the mountains in the background were amazing and the oldest Del Taco looked pretty nice it looked like the one around the corner from my house here in Torrance California now what you got looked good all the same stuff I like and you so-called burger 🍔 I’ve always known them to be called taco burgers and all it is is ground beef on a bun the same meat used in the taco but I must say I’m glad you enjoyed your food also I wanted to tell you if your interested in case you go to one again the double del hamburger 🍔 is excellent and I get it every time and the fish tacos they have are amazing that’s another thing I get when I go there basically what I’m trying to say Adam is that’s one great place to go now I was so happy to see you made it home safely and i glad you had such an amazing time on your adventure in Orlando and on your journey back home to good old Orange 🍊 County California and I must say its been such a pleasure going on this amazing road trip with you thanks so much I’ve had my fun in Orlando and I’ve learned so much on the way back home now I can’t wait to see what’s next and again thanks Adam and with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure also please be safe out there also Adam you make life that much better each day through your videos

Thanks for inviting us to join you over the last month. I’ve really enjoyed watching this latest adventure! Kind of sad to see it end.

[@MACKMV6527]

Definitely going to visit this Del Taco when I am in that part of California. Glad you made it home safe! Great road trip, thank you for sharing.

[@JD-nh7vb]

Really great videos on this road trip.

[@timnoel511]

I love the movie Bagdad Cafe. It's such an unusual and unique movie.

[@jimtownsend7899]

Each time I-40 traffic was visible in your videos, I was reminded of the many trips I made from Pennsylvania, through Memphis to the Bay Area and back again. Since I was a Road Warrior, chewing up the asphalt as fast as I could, I didn't have the opportunity to take a few hours and stray a couple miles off the beaten path and explore the sights as you do.

[@garymcmullin2292]

I was there in 1964, was in high school. This first street location bore a lot of similarity to the building in Yermo. The food was absolutely legendary, something about their combination of ingredients and the spices was flat out the most satisfying food ever. The refried beans in a paper cup and topped with shred cheddar cheese, the taco burger was to die for, the meat burrito was awesome and the tacos were just irresistible. I moved away in 1973 and have never had as good a food since.

[@davidbrainerd6539]

I was also in Barstow then. Dad used to get tacos from Tao Tia before they became Del Taco! Was in the first high school class(1967) of John F . Kennedy High School. Moved away after graduation.

[@garymcmullin2292]

@@davidbrainerd6539 I don't bring up a memory of the face but I do remember the name David Brainerd! It is a funny thing but many of my fondest memories of Barstow are oriented around the Taco Tia and later Del Taco. I moved away too, I miss a lot of what was then...but like they say...ya can't go back.

[@crisslastname9417]

I lived off of Bun Tacos back in the '70's. I make them at home now.

[@mikejaxn]

Great stuff Adam, I don't get out west often but really enjoyed the drive from Vegas to LA a couple of years ago - will definitely spend some time in Barstow area the next time I'm out that way. Thanks for sharing

[@contessalouannec8064]

Adam I LOVE your road trips. Like I said in previous videos you went to places that most of us will never go to. Thank You Catch you next time. From Lou Anne C.

[@bonniebrown6960]

I enjoyed your road trip vlogs...!! They are always so much fun !! That's cool to see a Del Toco again. The 1st time I ate at a Del Toco it was in Conyers Ga. Makes me want some tacos. 😁 Glad you made it back home safe and sound. Thanks Adam and Natalie too...!!

Thank you for the memories of Barstow, I grew up there. Moved away a few years ago. I sure do miss it

[@jwdawso]

What a great road trip - thanks for bringing me along!! I love Del Taco! That bun taco is part of the Naugles heritage.

[@gabeheredia9979]

Wow so many memories of my high school days in the background as you were eating at Del taco, Barstow. Went to central high school graduate in 1978. It's a continuation school and I had the morning session so before class we all had breakfast there. There used to be a del chicken place next door. Thanks for the memories Adam always enjoy your trips

[@heatherfisher9959]

I lived right next to it. You go under the bridge and turn you go onto the tracks. Good stuff!!I lived on it for 2 years. You don't get the deals like the franchise. But sooooo good! Any desert you get the strawberry topping on is amazing!

[@jan6626]

Once again...fun trip cross country! Thanks for taking us along. 29 days....seems like it was yesterday.

[@TMGMedia73]

I definitely like these cross country tour videos a lot better than the theme park ones, where you just go on the same rides all day. Nice to see the different road side attractions throughout the US, when I'm stuck in Canada and we really have nothing interesting to see and do here.

[@shardaycc553]

At this point the pink flamingo is doing more traveling than me🤣

[@iandrew6347]

A fantastic video love the Road trip videos keep up the good work watching from the uk 🇬🇧 🙏🏻Stay safe

I know I'm focusing on weird stuff, but I love the floors in your home. And the Pink Flamingo. Magic.

[@rhondadillenburg4717]

As a teenager in the 1970s and growing up in Barstow we would hang out at the Del Taco and cruise Main St for something to do. Those were fun times.

I Live In Barstow And It Is Kind Of Cool And Weird When I Hear The Town I Live get said in a Video. I Always Go Out Of Town and people Ask Me Where I Am From And I Tell The I AM From Barstow and They Ask Me Where It Is And I Tell Them It Is In Between Los Angeles And Las Vegas. But It Was Cool To Know Adam And Natalie Stopped By And Had Del Taco At The Oldest One Glad Your Back Adam And Natalie.

Bagdad Cafe has way more stuff on the walls since i've been there too. The best Del Taco is definitely the Barstow location but I'm not to hip to it being remodeled tho. 👍 welcome back to Cali.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I don’t know why but I have to stop at Baghdad Cafe every time I pass by

[@donnastedham9822]

Oh no, is the road trip over? It was great fun.

[@davidgibson9866]

I enjoy the videos, I don’t travel much so they help me to see America😃I also watch the Wonderhussy and noticed the same topics sometimes, it would be funny to photobomb each other’s videos 👍🏻

[@jorafter]

I enjoyed this road trip very much. Natalie was a nice addition. I have lived in SoCal my entire (long) life. I've been a huge fan of Huell Howser since the early eighties (miss him so much). I have learned about so many interesting places in my own home state through him, and have often wondered if Adam's work was influenced by him. I see similarities. Of course, I'm now a big fan of Adam The Woo as well. As was said, there are countless places to get tacos in California, and some are truly amazing. I wouldn't place Del Taco at the top. But when smothered with their "Del Scorcho" sauce they do make a tasty snack.

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Adam and to your friend Natalie, so glad you had an awesome and fun time at the First Del Taco and visiting Barstow. So happy that you all came back safely!

[@XtrevolutionXX]

Awesome camera panning on the new Del Taco building my dude!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you

[@LifeInBama]

Good to see you safely back in CA. I love those old style park and eat restaurants. The building for Bill's park and eat still stands in our area. The Frosty Mug is still open by the Mulberry River. They have a great fried steak sandwich and onion rings! Get a shake to drink.

Wowzers! The original "Del Taco" locations! I didn't know there was anything in Barstow! Thanks for the Huell Howser designation. I believe Natalie is a good sidekick for some adventures ! Tacos for breakfast sounds good to me, as long as I'm watching TheDailyWoo! Did it feel good to get home?

Wow, I've been there and didn't know about it being the oldest one. Had a great day. Spent it at Calico Ghost Town, and afterwards we stopped and ate at that Del Taco. Then, we walked up to that bridge overlooking the trains and ended the night catching a double feature at the Drive-in (Pirates: Dead Me Tell No Tells & Guardians of the Galaxy 2)

Lmao. People freak out about not being able to reproduce like there aren't hundreds of millions of orphans in the world. If you want to have kids for the right reasons you should be fine with adopting. If you want to have kids for selfish reasons then you will be the type of person to freak out when you can't conceive.
