Coastal Seafood Meets Fine Dining

Descanso Restaurant LA reimagines Mexico’s vibrant coastal seafood traditions into beautifully executed small plates that reflect both authenticity and elegance. For a light yet luxurious start to your meal, order the Ceviche Tropical—a refreshing medley of sea bass, mango, jicama, cucumber, Fresno chiles, red onion, lime, and mango-habanero salsa, topped with micro cilantro and served with tortilla chips. Those craving more complexity will love the Ceviche Campechano, a briny, tomato-clam-based mix of shrimp, octopus, and white fish. Equally elegant are the Taquitos de Camarón—crisp, golden shrimp taquitos wrapped in blue corn tortillas, finished with mango-habanero salsa, morita aioli, and fresh herbs. These seafood dishes are thoughtfully plated and balanced with the same precision found in coastal marisquerías—but with the refined polish of a high-end restaurant. Perfect for museum-goers, business lunches, or intimate dinners near LACMA, Descanso’s seafood menu speaks to a clientele that values freshness, quality, and artistic expression.
