LOVED our stay at La Quinta Resort and Club.  Blessed to receive a full suite from our host.  Amazing set up that was like a home rather than a hotel room.  Huge living and dining room, full kitchen, two bathrooms, two fireplaces and a pool and spa just steps away.  This was "livin" in the desert like never before.  Could have stayed here a month.  Grounds are beautiful with many pools throughout the complex.  Mornings were the best when the skies were clear and the weather was not a blistering 101 degrees.  Views of the mountains were stunning.  Staff was very friendly and made our conference a pure joy.  No complaints at all.

While in Los Angeles we were able to meet up with my Daughter and her high school classmate and friend Maya Woo.  Maya graduated with a Masters Degree from USC and still lives and works here.  I picked 208 Rodeo for the location and just to knock it off my list of places to eat in LA.  Service was excellent and the food was so so.  The Moroccan Lamb was really good and we all enjoyed it as an appetizer.  I had the Seafood Salad and it was one of the worst salads of my life.  Uneatable.  Everything about this salad was terrible.  The lettuce, the dressing, the overpowering fennel and less than fresh seafood.  Yuck!  I tried the Lobster and Bolognese Pastas and they were just ok.  A bit bland.  Would not return to eat here.
There is free two hour parking in the building which is really nice and convenient.  Take the elevator up and you are in the middle of 208 Rodeo.

I started seeing posts of Chuy's Tacos Dorados on Instagram and became addicted just seeing the photos.  Made a point to visit during a recent trip to Los Angeles.  Believe me I was not disappointed.  These tacos are delicious.  Filled with a well seasoned Shredded Beef and lots of Cheese, just the way I like it.  They add Onions that have been pickled in lime juice which my Wife loved.  I thought it took away from the flavor of the beef and was not a fan of the onions.  I normally love onions on tacos but this did not work for me.  Tacos are great.  The Shredded Beef Burrito was just as good and must have weighed a few pounds.  Nice combination of beef, beans and cheese.  Loved it!  Definitely would come back here for Crunchy Tacos when visiting LA.
