I was on my way out of town and hadn't had lunch, there to my right was the Big Bear standing in front of the Cahuilla Market PERFECT. There was no customers this Friday at noon about 80 degrees. The owner greeted me and said what can I get for you Sr. I said whats fastest and that I can drive and eat . He said let me make you a Burger, I said medium rare with Swiss please.
You have to check this place out while driving to the desert or motoring around it would be a good bike stop, plenty of outdoor seat under tree or a hard cover. They cook every thing on mesquite wood and makes everything taste excellent is a small store that has the occidentals BEER & WINE and other staples.
My burger was great but I should have stayed and eat it there, but I was with myself so what the phuck there I am winding down Wilson Valley road munching a great Burger and they re barbecued fries ya whooo. Oh with a drink that you can keep on filling I was out of there for $10.72
Driving back from palm springs to san diego on one of my favorite drives in southern california - the 74 to the 381 to the 79 -I noticed this place with the requisite carved bear in front of the "ol' timey mountain pass general store" so I had to stop and buy a fresca or some jerky or something and check it out. usually these out of the way "general stores" are musty, dusty old, stinky places full of crazy stuff - but this place was clean, stocked red stripe beer and had a disappointing lack of crazy things to buy as "gifts" - I met the owner, who was actually manning the cash register, a cool guy - who is renovating the store and whipping it into shape - he mentioned that from april to november the stage and BBQ area to the Southwest side of the store hosts live music and good bbq - check out the website http://www.cahuillamar...
no fresca and i don't really eat jerky, ew.......but I got some good ol' fashioned candies from a wicker basket by the cash register (that would be mentos, original flavor!) and a bottle of water cause I support global warming
I'm going back this summer for sure, maybe on the way to coachella - or maybe on one of my long lackadaisical meanders through the back country
