Hankering for a taste of Mexico? Follow the smells that will lead you to a number of Mexican restaurants along La Quinta. However, this is more international than Mexican since these are mostly owned or co-owned by foreigners. Venture out into the less ”touristy” areas for a taste of authentic Mexican food with the Mexican atmosphere and flavor.
