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.

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 give it a three and its flavor is great, it's not bad, better than in other places but not accepting cards is a caveman thing, Hoy is electronic, apart from that, the lady who runs the place should retire, she's super pedantic and bitter I have tolerated it many times but ultimately I will never go back

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.

I bought a ham and egg burrito, it was the smallest burrito Ive ever bought from a taco stand in my life, and the most expensive. The lady who took my order was very nice and it came out quick. But I mean small burrito for $10.25 not worth it, it was the size of a tina”s frozen burrito you buy at a grocery store. Will not eat there again.
