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 positive. Food was excellent. Great flavor and quality. We enjoyed our food very much…read more Ambiance was fantastic. Beautiful place. Customer service was okay. Friendly and attentive, but... The bad. Expensive and very small portions for price, but they are striving for that upscale feel. Quality over quantity which is fine, just don't expect huge portions. I was fine with my portion, others in my party were not. The reason my family will probably never return is as follows and I ate their last Monday and I'm still very upset about it and feel cheated. Waiter asked me several times about trying a new drink on menue. I declined twice as my husband and son each ordered a flight. The third time he brought it up my husband said bring her one, she likes mimosas. . Yes, I should of asked a price right then. It was a champagne drink with strawberry puree. I'm thinking $15 bucks max. It was ok. Nothing special honestly. My son ordered himself and my husband two house shots at end of meal. Waiter tried twice to get an upgrade. They declined. Long story short $40 for my 1 drink and almost $35 for 2 cheap jimador shots. Our bill for 4 was $320 before gratuity. I've never spent that on lunch, even in SD where I live. I feel they push the expensive alcohol on you and purposely do not give prices, so BEWARE! Ask prices! Last, it was a Monday and we were given a brunch menue and then also given a regular dinner menue. Thought that was odd for a non weekend and way too many selections. Overwhelming. I hope it does well, but I don't think it's the right demographic honestly and doubt it will last a year. I hope the waiters are more honest with customers about alcohol prices, because it was really great tasting food and a beautiful place

As mentioned before, the horchata is a slightly darker sort of horchata, meaning that it has a good amount of all those flavorful spices (and when I say "spices," this means things like cinnamon, or possibly cloves or nutmeg, and doesn't mean that the drink is "hot"). I like their horchata quite a bit. As usual, the service was friendly and attentive. This was our third time here, and we're always made to feel welcome here.

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.

I ordered the 3-meat plate with brisket, burnt ends, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage, along with the yakisoba noodles and mac & cheese. Every single item was outstanding. The brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect smoke flavor, the burnt ends practically melted in my mouth, and the sausage had just the right amount of spice and cheesy goodness. The sides weren't an afterthought either. The noodles were packed with flavor and the mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and the perfect complement to the barbecue. What makes Shourai unique is how they blend Texas-style BBQ with Japanese influences. It's not a gimmick it genuinely works and creates something special. You can tell they care about the quality of every bite. If you're anywhere near this food truck, do yourself a favor and stop. I'll definitely be back, and I'll be bringing friends with me next time.

Los Amigos offers decent food for a decent price, but I wish their chips and salsa were better. The salsa flavor and consistency seems to change with whomever made it and the chips are very thin, oftentimes breaking when we dip them into the salsa. I will give the 5 stars for their shredded beef tacos and Carne Asada burritos though! Still a good place to eat close to home. read more
