This used to be my go to place but lately it’s sucked to be quite honest. They raised their prices and the quality of the food AND service now sucks! They just lost a whole family’s business, will NEVER go back.
Le doy un tres y se me hace mucho su sabor no se me hace mal, mejor que en otros lugares pero el no aceptar tarjeta es cosa de cavernícolas lo de Hoy es electrónico aparte de eso la señora que atiende el lugar debería de jubilarse es súper pedante y amargada lo he tolerado muchas veces pero en definitiva jamás volveré
Thus far, they make the best Fajita Burritos in North County! I travel from Oceanside to Escondido at least once a week just to get that particular burrito especially. It's been that way for the past 20 years.
I love this place and I been coming to this place as a kid and even now I still love this place. I love the people vary polite and speed in service. I recommend this place and great drinks. I hope this place never close down.
I've lived in and around Esco since '95. The Barrel has always been there, but for some reason or another, never visited this place until today after staring at it from the gas station across the street. I give every taco shop a fair shot. Impress me with your most basic gringo fare, a Carne asada burrito. First thing I always order from a "new to me" spot. It usually tells me all I need to know about the place. Unfortunately for the barrel what I got was disappointing and confusing. I don't ever remember getting a Carne asada burrito with lettuce on it from anywhere else. No Pico de gallo, just guacamole, meat and wilted with heat lettuce. What the what? One and done. Should've just went to Albertos. I paid close to $12 after tax.
Honestly way better than I expected! Traditional Californian Mexican food ! Was so good!!!
