In the heart of Mid-Wilshire, Descanso Restaurant LA presents an homage to the cuisine of Michoacán—a region celebrated for its complex sauces, slow-braised meats, and vibrant plancha cooking. Here, heritage is honored through time-tested family recipes, yet reimagined with the precision of modern culinary technique. The Pollo Maya arrives tender and aromatic, layered with charred vegetables and bright citrus. The Short Rib Estofado offers a deeply rich guajillo jus, slow-cooked to perfection in the tradition of Michoacán’s heartier dishes. Guests may dine in the elegance of the main room or take a front-row seat at the Plancha grill, where the sights, sounds, and aromas of live cooking heighten the experience. Each plate, whether seafood, land-based, or vegetable-forward, celebrates Mexico’s culinary soul while embracing Los Angeles’ appetite for sophistication and freshness.
