Plata's Mexican Food - Barstow

On our drive from Vegas to Newport Beach, we made a quick stop in Barstow for lunch. One of my husband's co-workers grew up in Barstow and suggested that we stop lunch at Platas Mexican restaurant. He grew up in Barstow right behind this restaurant years ago and said this is the most happening spot with great home cooked Mexican meals. He was right! They did not disappoint... I would recommend this establishment to anyone in the Barstow area, especially if you're just passing through. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly

This is a special locals hidden gem. Nice seating. They give you homemade chips and salsa. Large portions. Tasty and fresh. I enjoy dining in.

I've been visiting this place since 1979, never had bad service or food. The burrito is big enough for 2. I was lucky enough to chat with the founders granddaughter. She was an amazing young lady. Her values for life and business were outstanding. Please pray for her uncle Coco.

Those breakfast burritos are fantastical. Simple potato and cheese is ridiculously good. Always happy to swing in for food

The food was really good actually, the waitress was welcoming. Just one thing, please invest in some door fan to keep the flies out. While we were dining in, there were about 5 flies on the window glass near us. Don't want to think of flies in the kitchen...
