Casuelas Terraza (Las), Palm Springs

This is one of those “must-visit” places, a Mexican restaurant in business since 1958. The food is good, with all the expected items, from tacos to carne asada (charbroiled steak) and some non-Mex choices like spinach salads and hamburgers. It’s always crowded, mostly with tourists. Try to get a table with a view of South Palm Canyon Drive, where the people-watching is great. Even better, when it’s time to drift away to Margaritaville, gravitate to the large outside Palapa Bar and rock out to a live band playing contemporary, Latin, top-40s and, of course, the occasional Jimmy Buffett tune. There’s a dance area, if the mood strikes.
