Planeta Rojo Ice Cream & Market

Much better value and quality than taco bell down the street! And the staff is always super friendly. A lot of locals eat here, which says something... It's not a phenomenal place, but it gets an extra star for being just simple good food in the barren food landscape of I-5!

So we walked into the place and the lady at the counter did not really say anything to us, just kind of looked at us with a bored look.  My husband and daughter ordered a carne asada torta and got a chicken torta.  The food was ok.  I had a very watered down lemonade from the soda fountain.  Finally they had a gumball machine and my husband put two quarters in for my 4 year old and got nothing,  When my husband told the guy behind the counter he was rude to him and said "it's not my machine," and walked away.

the food is authentic and really tasty. i dont know if they recently jacked their prices for summer crowds but i felt the menu was a bit pricier than previous reviews stated. they have ad-boards along the exit proclaiming 69 cent tacos. BUT dont count on getting those if you are eating past 1pm.. tricky tricky. The ad-boards got me in the door but when i found out i was going to have to shell out 10 bucks for three tacos, beans, and rice i was a little disappointed. The carne asada was my filling option and it was quite good. the salad for the tacos was good, the beans perfect, the rice.. just ok. would i stop here again? probably not. i would try something else first.. In this area, driving from SF to Las Vegas, there are quite a few taquerias and trucks to explore...
