This place is 'Da Bomb" !…read more Kinda disappointed to see this on Yelp, cuz it has long been a local's secret...but hey, its a great experience... Pros: the creator is known out here as "Radio Mike" cuz he is the Mix Master! He finds the most unusual and rocking music... and plays it using only Solar power charged batteries! Yes, Really! This is an Off the Grid Fri night Party happening! Local Musicians show up and take turns playing their music around a campfire...peeps hang out by the Tiki Bar with their own booze that they bring and share with friends...(BYOB) Head Hunter's Lounge is Friendly, Lively and Really Hip! Cons: If you set up camp right next to him and want peace and quiet on Fri nights to watch your satellite TV, it will be a little noisy...so plan on camping somewhere else if that is your thing...or plan on joining the party every Fri night! Here is a short article that tells you more about this cool cat: http://www.slab-city.com/slab_city_artist_mike/ PS...This happens from about end of Oct or early Nov to April/May depending on when he comes out here to set up camp. Closed during the Hot Summers, cuz, ya know, its the desert!

East Jesus is an extraordinary art installation and off-grid community located in the remote desert…read moreof California's Slab City. Born out of the spirit of creativity and self-expression, it has evolved into a unique testament to human imagination and resourcefulness. The origins of East Jesus can be traced back to the late 1990s when Charlie Russell, an artist and visionary, first settled in Slab City. Slab City, a former military base, became a haven for individuals seeking an alternative lifestyle away from the constraints of mainstream society. Inspired by the countercultural movement and the concept of repurposing discarded materials, Russell envisioned a place where art and sustainability could coexist. Over time, East Jesus grew organically, attracting like-minded artists, activists, and individuals seeking a communal space for creativity. The community's name is a playful nod to the phrase "middle of nowhere," reflecting its remote location and eccentric nature. The artists of East Jesus repurpose salvaged materials to create whimsical and thought-provoking sculptures that dot the landscape. These installations often address social, political, and environmental themes, challenging visitors to question the world around them. The people of East Jesus embrace a DIY ethos, relying on solar power, rainwater harvesting, and composting systems for their basic needs. The community values self-reliance, sustainability, and artistic freedom, fostering an environment that encourages experimentation and collaboration. The only last thing I want to mention is that I don't believe that East Jesus is the right place for a woman to travel to ... alone. (just a word to the wise) I will be back .. to experience more ... with a friend of course.

It's the kind of place the locals all know about. The beer is always cold and the food is amazing…read more The music is usually a live band, but the last time I was there a DJ was spinning. The bar is long and roomy with tables along the wall if you would rather face your friends or date. It was hot and sticky in Mexicali when I was there, but when the weather starts to cool down I will definitely sit in the patio and enjoy an ice cold beer and maybe a smoke. Stop by and say hi Wesley. He will take good care of you and maybe teach you a little French.

5/5 Would Let Cameron Ruin My Diet Again Listen up, desert…read morerats and accidental Salton Sea tourists: if you're cruising past that apocalyptic inland ocean and your stomach starts growling louder than your regrets, you NEED to slam on the brakes at the Ski Inn. Why? Two words: Cameron. And her curves. Sweet baby Jesus on a jet ski, this woman floats behind the bar like a mirage you actually get to touch (the drinks, people, touch the drinks). She's serving looks so dangerous I forgot how to blink. Hips that could cause a 20-car pileup on the 86. I ordered a beer and accidentally proposed. She just laughed, poured me another, and said "Honey, slow down, the burgers aren't going anywhere." Ma'am, neither am I. Speaking of the burgers... these world-famous bad boys are so juicy they should come with a towel and a safe word. I'm pretty sure they're 50% beef, 50% black magic, and 100% the reason I now need new pants. One bite and I saw God. He was wearing a Ski Inn t-shirt and nodding approvingly at Cameron's... service skills. Pro tip: sit at the bar so Cameron can lean over to take your order and you can die happy right there between the peanut shells and your own drool. 10/10. The burgers are life-changing. Cameron is a national treasure. My cholesterol is crying but my soul is full. Ski Inn: Come for the greasy perfection, stay because Cameron smiled at you and now you live here.

WOW! What an amazing place. I stopped by here for a quick drink before the sunset at Bombay beach…read more LOVED the concept, I had an amazing chat with the bartender and some of the locals. Although the kitchen closes at 7pm, they are open later and even have karaoke Friday nights which honestly sounded so fun. They do accept cards but I think they prefer cash!! Would definitely recommend stopping by for a meal or drink if you're around this area.

I was told the wait time would be about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking around 45 minutes. After waiting that long, the food was very disappointing. The presentation was messy, the sauce spilled all over the bag, and the burger/fries looked like they were just thrown into the box. The lettuce and ingredients did not look fresh or properly prepared. I understand delays can happen when a restaurant is busy, but this was 11 AM and the place was empty. Very frustrating experience for a simple to-go order. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. One star.

The ribs were tender with a nice smoky flavor and came off the bone clean. The tri tip was just as solid, juicy and well seasoned with that classic barbecue taste. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the baked beans had a good balance of sweet and savory. The lemonade was cold and refreshing and worked well with the meal. The atmosphere is a big part of the experience. Rustic, lively, and full of character. It feels like a true desert spot with history behind it. The place can get busy, but the staff kept things moving and were friendly throughout. This place loves to its hype. Definitely more than just a meal. It's the kind of place you go for the full experience, and I'd come back again.

I think we waiting 30 mins or so and finally got seated! I got their half rack of baby back ribs with seasonal veggies and cold slaw and it did NOT disappoint. Love the dry run and it was mostly soft and came with bbq to dip so not overly saucy! Partner finished the chicken sandwich so i bet it was good. They had a band playing that night so many started to stream in for that. Overall def recommend to check out!

There's also an outdoor patio where they have the jenga and ring toss. It was a little breezy the night I stopped in and they even had some heaters turned on. There was a DJ who was good and I'd say he was playing good music. The beers are affordable and as of this review they have a ladies night on Saturday which means drink specials. I think they may also have a few other drinks specials as well but I stuck to beers. I've had service from a few different bartenders and they all make sure you'll get your beverage in a timely manner. I like the Saturday night crowd...there's a nice mix of people. guys to girls and it's not too packed. It's seems to empty out a little towards midnight which is around the time I usually make my exit but if I was with friends I'd probably just chill at Alement for the night. They have some cool cocktails and fish bowls...overall it's a chill vibe but with the right music can turn up a little bit. Security is chill and Alement is definitely in the rotation whenever I'm going out in "downtown" Yuma. They run almost daily specials which could also turn any night of the week into a lituation.
