The Art of the Plancha

Guests can select from a curated menu of plancha entrées, including Carne Asada, Salmon con Chile Limón, Sea Bass, and Pollo Maya—each seared with precision by a dedicated Planchero chef at the table. Accompaniments include roasted vegetables, handmade tortillas, house rice, and charro beans. The experience is as elegant as it is immersive, combining tradition with innovation and hospitality with showmanship. Whether you're entertaining visitors from out of town or celebrating a special occasion in the heart of Mid-Wilshire, Descanso’s plancha dining creates a memorable, elevated atmosphere that distinguishes it from any other Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles.
