Local Favorites in the Coachella Valley

The date shakes, desert farmers markets, and mid-century neighborhoods that regulars return to every season.

Between festival weekends, the valley has a quieter rhythm. Date farms on the highway, a Saturday market in Palm Desert, and the kind of neighborhood taqueria that doesn't need a sign. These are the spots worth knowing.
