🏜️ Explore: Adventure in the Mojave

El Mirage OHV Area: Just a short drive away, this 27,000-acre dry lake bed is a world-class destination for off-roading, land yachting, and sunrise photography.

🍔 Eat: High Desert Favorites
You can’t explore on an empty stomach. Adelanto and nearby Victorville offer a surprising variety of flavors:
1. El Montecito Mexican & American Restaurant
Located right on Bartlett Ave, El Montecito is a local gem famous for blending authentic Mexican spices with American comfort favorites.
The Food: Their tacos de tripa are legendary for having the perfect crunch.
The Pairing: Pair these savory, crunchy tacos with an earthy Indica or an OG Kush strain from our flower menu. The herbal, gassy notes of a heavy kush perfectly complement the rich, fried flavors of authentic tripa.
Pro Tip: If you're going for their hearty menudo, try a mango-flavored edible. Mangoes contain myrcene, which can help deepen the relaxation of your high while you enjoy a warm, satisfying meal.
2. Miguelitos Mexican Food
Just around the corner on Adobe Rd, Miguelitos is your go-to for generous portions and a vibrant, friendly atmosphere.
The Food: You can't go wrong with their Carne Asada Fries or a massive California Burrito.
The Pairing: For a meal this filling, we recommend an uplifting Sativa like Sour Diesel or Super Lemon Haze. These bright, citrusy strains provide a "zesty kick" that balances out the richness of fries and steak, keeping you energized instead of stuck on the couch.
Taco Tuesday: Miguelitos is known for their $1.25 Tacos every Tuesday. Stop by Jet Room first to pick up a Jeeter pre-roll (often on sale up to 40% off) to make your Taco Tuesday truly elite.
🏟️ Visit: Events & Entertainment
Adelanto Stadium: Keep an eye on the schedule for the Adelanto Stadium and Event Center. From concerts featuring artists like OG Rome to local festivals, there is always something happening at the High Desert’s premier venue.
🛒 Shop: Stock Up at Jet Room
No weekend guide is complete without the essentials. Jet Room Adelanto is known for being the best dispensary in the area, offering daily deals that make it easy to stock up on flower, pre-rolls, and beverages before you hit the desert.
