It was topped with strawberry and Mexican candy and the rim was so delicious! Very refreshing and the alcohol was well balanced! I left feeling gooood, but not loco! The mangoneada was delicious as well. I would have liked some more mango chunks tho. It was sweet and salty, but most importantly, drinkable! Usually, mangoneadas are so sweet and heavy that you take a few sips and you're done with it. Not here! Sipping the mango in between the margarita was giving my brain the pleasure it deserved.

We ordered my son the Chocolate Brownie ice cream, but unfortunately, he did not like the flavor. Had he been able to sample it beforehand, we could have avoided purchasing an entire scoop that he ultimately would not eat. Because of this, we had to purchase a second ice cream in regular chocolate, resulting in an unnecessary additional expense. For a business where customers are choosing from so many different flavors, I find it very surprising and disappointing that samples are not offered. Allowing customers--especially children--to try a flavor before committing to a full serving would provide a much better customer experience and help prevent situations like this.

The first shop I recognized was Paty's, and this nostalgia trip made me feel 7 again, being my mom to stop here for an ice cream to share. We came around on our way out and I got soft serve, plain cone. They only have vanilla which is a shame, since I remember I used to get the vanilla chocolate swirl as a kid. It was so big! The server really piled it high! While I was happy to see they don't skimp on portion, or was just a little too much. Soft serve cones are $3, and waffle cones are $.50 more. My younger brother had never been here before ap he didn't understand the moment I was having, but he ended up getting a scoop of sherbet (my other childhood favorite). Again a big portion, we were afraid half of it would fall off the cone, so my mom and I had to help him eat it The single scoop cone was also $3. They had their classic offerings as I remembered, banana split, sundaes, shakes, and ice cream bars, but they've also added the fried Duros and Tostilocos to the menu (when in Indio, right?) Overall a great place that hasn't lost any integrity over the years. I'd probably stop by again if I ever came back to this mall.

SHORT ANSWER: I just review for what I experience, not necessarily anything to do with my…read morepreferences for taste. Yes worth a visit if you want a burger and you're on El Paseo, but I will not go back only for my own reasons, I am sure others love the food here. LOCATION: Incredibly nice location on El Paseo, usually good parking and the place is easy to find but also you can spend the afternoon shopping maxing out the credit cards on El Paseo. FACILITY: Very nice model, bright, and not noisy. I am usually not a fan of ordering kiosks but at this location, the Shake Shake logic on this was the best I have seen. So well thought out. MENU: There is a lot, easy to read and see photos on the kiosk and the delivered food kind of looks like the photos. FOOD PREP: Not great. Burgers dropped in and stuck in a wrapper bag, did not look great, and not easy to eat but we made it with a ton of napkins. FOOD QUALITY: Ok, we had a burger and a chicken burger but I just don't enjoy the tase of their food. I reviewed another location a few years ago and had a bad experience, this visit was much better just based on the location, same taste takeaway. WAITSTAFF: AMAZING, wow very professional which is not a word I use often in fast food reviews. In N Out is professional and that is about it, so well done so much have a great manager. OVERALL VALUE: $27.00 with tip for a single burger and a chicken burger and a soda. If that is chump change for you then fine. I get the location is ridiculously expensive as are quality California employees, so yes food here cost a bit more and maybe standard pricing I don't know. We visited, I ordered, I paid, and we ate all was good. TIP: I am not here to bash Shake Shack, this was an amazing location and very well managed on my visit. Don't let the prices scare you off this location is worth a visit.

I'm spending $50 on sandwiches--I don't think it's unreasonable to expect food without flies! Everything's out in the open, uncovered, so flies can land on anything. It's unsanitary, the service was terrible, and the staff clearly don't care. I've had consistently bad experiences at Jersey Mike's--rude employees who act like making sandwiches is a burden.

I'm thinking, man I didn't even bring my lunch. I have no idea what's in Indio other than it being scorching hot! So I get to the spot where I'm working. I start looking online. I get to Andy's burgers #4. Now any place that has a number after it has to be good. Where I live it's Tams burgers. So at first I look at the menu I want to get a double bacon cheeseburger then as I pulled up, I saw burritos from 14 dollars, then I saw a beef burrito for 8.99. Heck with that price I'll get 2. I asked a nice lady on the other end of the loudspeaker what comes in the beef burrito she said ground beef beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese. That was a perfect combination. I I pull up to the window. She has me two good size burritos. Let me let me jump back a little bit. I drop my card and she said don't worry about it. I'll come by and pick it up. I said no no I got it, gave her my card. She gave me the burritos. She asked me if I wanted fresh salsa or the packets. I said what are the packets she said del Sol, I asked what is the fresh red or green? She said red, I said I'll take the fresh. I was on my way back to the spot where I can eat. I took a bite into the burrito , put some red salsa on it , Flavor for Sure!! The picture below only has one burrito because I literally just smashed the first one for my lunch. I highly recommend Andy's. I can only imagine what other flavor bomb items are on the menu. Looks like I don't mind coming to Indy to work anymore. As long as I have Andy's to keep my belly full cause it sure is hot out here and you're gonna need some food to work out here in these extreme temperatures. Thank you For the great food Jim
