They also forgot the bag of bean sprouts/lime/cilantro/jalapeños for the second bowl of pho. But, with only two pho spots in the high desert, can beggars be choosers? Vibes were nice inside though, with a lounge area with a stage for performances that you can also eat at while chillin' on some really comfy couches and chairs. Might have to meet up with friends here sometime for random hangs without having to cook. They also get a star for the nice lady working the register.

It was delicious. It was a banh mi sandwich that is not just one of those, "It's good for a small town," but really genuinely good and well-prepared. The sandwich was about $13, if memory serves. Whatever sauce they had on it was also delicious, and the sandwich was filling. The restaurant is a very large, airy, comfortable space in back of Rite Aid and Aldi, and is a pleasant space. The place also has coffee, bagels, croissants, bagel sandwiches, poke, and pho, along with numerous kinds of tea (milk tea, Thai tea, Matcha tea). The pho and bagels I saw other people eating looked delicious. The people who worked there were very friendly.

The food was absolutely fantastic, the atmosphere was fun and lively, and it was the perfect place to celebrate, dance, and party with all of our family and friends. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made everyone feel right at home. TJ, one of the bartenders, was amazing, and working with Mario throughout the planning process was seamless. He was so accommodating, easy to communicate with, and helped bring our vision to life. Everything came together exactly as we had hoped. The only thing I would mention is to make sure your contract and invoices clearly outlines all fees, especially the 20% administration fee. It wasn't reflected on our invoices until the day after the event, so it came as an unexpected surprise. It didn't take away from what was an incredible celebration, but it's definitely something future couples should clarify upfront. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would absolutely recommend Rasta Rita to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and unforgettable wedding reception venue!

Located next to the JT visitor center west entrance and about 5 miles from the park entrance. We arrived to this small local place just as they were opening at 7:30 am and they had breakfast sandwiches being made, mostly with bacon, egg and cheese but they'll make you sausage or other variation as well. They also have a good selection of other breakfast items like hard boiled eggs, cheese, fruits, yogurt parfait, salad and deli lunch sandwiches. Additionally they sell various hot and cold drinks, organic JT coffee beans that they'll grind for you, salty and sweet snacks, California dates and roadrunner t-shirts. Prices are not cheap but comparable to other similar places and Starbucks. We appreciated the friendly staff. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, though it did take a bit to make.

Delicious food but customer service is off. At least in my experience, and I've been here three to…read morefour times. Every time, the folks behind the counter don't really say hello or greet (most) customers. With me they usually just kind of stare. I realize not everyone communicates in the same way. But no matter who is working, same thing. I'm usually the first one to say something - like anything. During a recent visit, the cashier didn't even finish my transaction before going back to what they were doing for the customer in front of me (who the cashier seemed to know). Again, no communication. Now, I don't need to have a full conversation with every person on staff. But the overall customer service isn't inviting or very present here. Not for everyone, anyway. So even though the sandwiches, salad, and cookies are tasty, I can't honestly recommend this place. There are other delicious grab and go options in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, or 29 Palms that are much more friendly.

We ordered: +a slice of banana bread - this was wet and soggy, so not sure how this is even available for sale +a slice of carrot cake - this was extremely dense and decadent, and good for any carrot cake lover +an oatmeal cookie - large and had a nice crisp/chewy texture +a chive scone - super dried out and had absolutely no flavor +a hibiscus drink - super weird beverage; not sure if it was mixed with something, but it was not enjoyable +and, a milk tea - this milk tea was not prepared well; contained some pearls I was curious about their sandwiches and their pizzas, but the latter is only sold as a whole, and not by the slice. All in all, we felt that the items were misses; not worth waiting it out unless you are spending a few days in the area or are a local. Note that there's usually a line, moving along at a slow and steady pace, and they allow only 1 party in at a time. There is no seating inside, as this is strictly carry-out only. Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

Absolutely terrible customer service tonight…read more I've been coming to this market for years and have spent plenty of money here, but after tonight I seriously question why. Around 7 PM on May 14, 2026, the woman working the register couldn't even do the bare minimum of acknowledging a customer. After buying a beer from HER register, I asked twice for a bag because my hands were full and I was trying to safely hold my son's hand in the parking lot. She completely ignored me both times and went right back to staring at her phone like customers who spend money were an inconvenience. Not even a "sorry," not even a "we don't have bags." Just rude, lazy, dismissive behavior. Meanwhile the parking lot right outside the door is a mess with people whipping into parking spaces, and I'm standing there trying to carry everything while making sure my son doesn't get hit by a car. The lack of basic awareness or decency was unbelievable. If this is the kind of customer service this place now allows, longtime customers clearly don't matter anymore. Management should probably spend less time letting employees play on their phones and more time teaching basic respect and professionalism.

There's a woman here that's so rude & unwelcoming that I'll never go back.
