Begin your meal at Descanso LA with starters that highlight both craftsmanship and freshness. Plates like Elote Asado, finished with morita aioli and cotija cheese, balance smoky and sweet notes, while Choriqueso Verde layers poblano chiles, melted cheeses, and house chorizo into a rich, shareable bite. For seafood lovers, Ceviche Tropical and Ceviche Campechano deliver vibrant citrus flavors paired with tender fish and shrimp. These dishes set the tone for an evening of refined dining, where every detail—from garnish to plating—echoes the artistry of Mexico’s culinary traditions. They also pair seamlessly with cocktails such as the Cucumber + Sal or Descanso Margarita, making starters more than just an opening—they’re an integral part of the restaurant’s elevated dining story.
