At Descanso Restaurant LA, the culinary traditions of Michoacán take center stage in dishes that honor deep-rooted family recipes and bold, earthy flavors. Located on Wilshire Blvd in the heart of Mid-Wilshire, Descanso offers a refined yet lively atmosphere where guests experience the soul of regional Mexican cooking. The menu features signature items like Pollo Maya—a plancha-grilled achiote-marinated chicken breast cooked with bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, squash, and habanero-pickled red onions. Another standout, the Pork Loin Alambre, pays homage to Michoacán’s love of al pastor–style pork, accented with tres quesos, serrano chiles, cilantro, and avocado toreado salsa. Both dishes are prepared tableside on the sizzling plancha grill, capturing the smoky aromas and celebratory nature of communal dining. Served with handmade blue corn or flour tortillas, rice, and roasted vegetables, these dishes reflect a legacy of flavor that has traveled from the heart of Mexico to the streets of Los Angeles.
