Coachella Valley , California

Cuisine in Coachella Valley is influenced by both classic American and Mexican cuisines, so you can find a real variety of bars and restaurants in the area. One of the most popular spots in the valley definitely takes its cue from an American icon; the milkshake. Simply called Great Shakes, this Palm Springs institution serves up what might be the best-tasting milkshake you’ll ever have - the perfect remedy for the dry desert heat. With classic flavors and malts such as chocolate and vanilla, to more creative tastes with lavender, blossom honey, and more inventive flavors, you’ll want to visit a couple of times to give everything a try.

Another classic American institution, the deli, is well-represented by TKB Bakery and Deli in Indio, Coachella Valley, where you can pick up a huge selection of sandwiches and baked goods. Or, if you fancy trying some Mexican food, head to La Perlita in Palm Springs, for a delicious choice of authentic Mexican food and fantastic margaritas.
