Tableside Cooking from Central Mexico
Rooted in the festive marketplaces of central Mexico, the plancha cooking tradition is more than technique—it’s a social ritual. At Descanso Restaurant LA, this heritage is brought to life through tableside plancha dining, where chefs prepare your meal in real time. This method, popular in regions like Puebla, Morelos, and Mexico City, emphasizes freshness, interaction, and bold seasoning. Choose from grilled proteins like Ribeye, Carne Asada, Salmon Dorado, Pollo Maya, or Sea Bass, all served with roasted vegetables, house rice, charro beans, and warm tortillas. Every sizzling presentation connects guests to the vibrant energy of Mexican street culture and family gatherings. Whether you’re dining with a group or enjoying an immersive solo experience, Descanso’s plancha tradition offers flavor, spectacle, and a direct line to Mexico’s culinary soul—all in the heart of Mid-Wilshire.
