Tacos with Oaxacan, Puebla & Jalisco Roots

Mexico’s diverse street food culture is one of its greatest culinary exports, and Descanso LA brings that richness to life with an elevated take on regional tacos. The menu includes Duck Pibil tacos, inspired by the slow-roasted, spice-laden traditions of southern Mexico; Birria Tacos with braised short rib and consomé, echoing the bold comfort food of Jalisco; and Chile-Rubbed Mahi Mahi, topped with mango-habanero salsa and cotija cheese. Vegetarian diners can enjoy Tacos de Calabacitas, filled with squash, black beans, serrano chiles, and chipotle aioli. Served on house-made blue corn tortillas and finished with ingredients like avocado toreado salsa, micro cilantro, and morita aioli, these tacos embody the fusion of old-world methods with modern LA flair. Whether enjoyed at lunch or dinner, Descanso’s tacos pay tribute to the flavors of Oaxaca, Puebla, Jalisco, and beyond—carefully crafted, thoughtfully plated, and intensely flavorful.
