Descanso LA is a contemporary Mexican kitchen inspired by the culinary traditions of Michoacán, a region known for its rich stews, layered marinades, and street-style plancha grilling. Every dish on the menu reflects the restaurant’s commitment to honoring those roots while elevating each preparation with modern technique and ingredient integrity. From the achiote-marinated Pollo Maya and al pastor-style Pork Loin Alambre to the deeply comforting Short Rib Estofado, the food at Descanso is bold, soulful, and refined. Guests can enjoy these dishes from a traditional table or at the signature Plancha grill, where chefs prepare meals right in front of you, turning the energy and aromas of a Mexican town square into a polished, immersive dining experience. Every plate, seasonal, vibrant, and cooked to order, is a tribute to the culinary history of Mexico, brought to life in the heart of Los Angeles with precision and pride.
