Food Scene

The food here is top notch. Forget the bigger Mexican restaurants-- Casa Mendoza is far superior. Nice people own and run it, and the service is fast and friendly. The fajitas are delicious, as is everything else I've had there. The prices are reasonable too. It's small, but worth waiting for a table when it gets busy. I'd recommend putting your name in, and then take a walk around Old Town until your table is ready.

Yummy and unique! Small plates to share or not. Great ingredient combinations but not weird - or trying too hard to be exotic. We had a vegan eater with us and she was in heaven with many choices. Happy hour ends at 6 so it is busy early. A reservation is definitely needed although bar seating may be open - good luck! It isn't a fancy place and food comes out fast but we didn't feel rushed.

It's homey, unpretentious food that will fill you up and taste delicious. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you, which if you're smart, will include their mimosa deal which comes with a tiny carafe of orange juice and a huge bottle of bubbly. They know what you want.

I LOVE Poke - and Pokehana didn't disappoint. Fresh fish, a great selection of fresh toppings and terrific sauces. And the prices are really great - TONS of food! Vegetarian options such as coconut, tofu, and edamame too.

Great food, service and ambiance. Beautiful setting nestled in the boulders in La Quinta. Lots of dark wood and glass. Has an old world steakhouse vibe. Very comfortable seating and great views.

At the JW Marriott a mini-ferry (!!!) will take you to Mikado, the superlative Japanese steak-and-seafood restaurant. You'll start literally at a dock inside the hotel lobby (wut), boat past a bunch of real-life pink flamingos, and dock in teriyaki meat heaven.

You know those diners that exist in movies but nowhere else, where everyone's super friendly and the short-order cook looks like he's been working there for a millennia and they serve a burger combo that 1) comes with a shake, and 2) is probably fresh out of the freezer but tastes like childhood and is perfect? That place is Keedy's. You will love it.

Guaranteed to have a line even before it opens, Cheeky's offers a daily BACON FLIGHT (you read that right) with five crazy strips of greatness, which'll range from applewood-smoked and jalapeño, to apple cinnamon and black pepper. You're gonna want all of them.

Have a s'more milkshake. The beloved shake shop Great Shakes has them. They've also got rotating flavors including Oreo cookie mint and white chocolate lavender. And a Cake Shake. So, yeah, you're gonna want to go with friends.

Killer BBQ isn't something you'd normally expect to find in the desert... until now: the family behind Smoke Tree BBQ has been winning all kinds of competitions thanks to melty, daily-smoked brisket and fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, served outdoors in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it spot in the back of a strip mall.

"Yeah, I'm ready for this," you'll say, before deciding to golf at La Quinta's PGA West Stadium Course -- which Golf Digest called the most difficult in Cali, thanks to "moguls, pot bunkers, and lumpy lies," at least one of which isn't the awesome thing you think it is.

The Tack Room is a totally-legit cowpoke bar that's actually on the Polo Field groups where they hold Coachella every year. There're killer drinks (get the Bloody Mary BLT, which is exactly what it sounds like it is), great burgers, and stools made of actual saddles so you can manspread all you want while you house food/drink.

El Jefe, the Tequila bar in the Saguaro Hotel, offers a discount, high-end tequila-of-the-month, plus has a ping pong table directly outside of it in the lobby, which is perfect, because after three tequilas... you're no better at ping pong than you were when you walked in, but you're CONVINCED you are.

The Amigo Room at the Ace Hotel has live music nearly nightly, including hyped LA bands like Jeffertitti's Nile and collaborations with collectives like Fool's Gold, but the pro move is to bring your bathing suit: no one checks to make sure you're a guest before you take a dip, so if you want to relax after rocking out, yeah, you can.

The classic steakhouse Melvyn's is one of those places where nothing ever changes... including the octogenarians who pack the bar nightly, watching a crooner play Sinatra while they attempt to pick each other up in something that resembles Golden Girls-meets-Dynasty. Grab a gimlet and watch what happens... live.
