If you’re staying at the Morongo Casino Resort or just passing by on Mondays, and you like genuine Mexican food, be sure to stop in. The imposing contemporary structure rises high above the desert and overlooks busy Highway I-10 just 17 miles west of Palm Springs, 90 miles east of Los Angeles and 109 miles north of San Diego. You’ll enjoy dining at the resort’s Portrero Canyon Buffet on Mariachi Monday. While being entertained by the Mariachi Divas, dig into all you can eat of specialty Mexican dishes. They may include tacos carné asada, chili, Baja fish tacos, chicken quesadillas, beef tostadas and many other favorites.

Don’t forget to top it off with one or more cups of flan for dessert. The Monday bargains are priced at $12.95 for lunch and $15.95 for dinner. More info at www.morongocasinoresort.com/dining/potrero-canyon-buffet
