One of our favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurants closed and we were excited to read of the recent opening of Descanso. The way they remodeled was really beautiful. They have the restaurant with a taco bar and a very large cocktail bar. Live music playing in the dining room as well. In addition, they have a room which is reserved for multi-course meals served tableside on a large plancha. It was very lively over there, looked like a great place for large groups. We started with the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was fresh with lots of lime and the chips were homemade and very crispy. We had the following which was all worth ordering again. Short rib empanadas came nice and fluffy. Loaded with meat and a drizzle of sour cream. Birria tacos which were made with short rib. They weren’t like other Birria where they are fried crispy, but very flavorful and a generous amount of meat. Fideo soup was delicious lots of noodles but amped up from the traditional tomato broth typical of this soup. Hangar steak was tender and came on a bed of assorted vegetables almost like a calabacitas. For dessert, we ordered tres leches which was made with coconut milk and not as sticky sweet as usual. Toasted fresh coconut on top, I’d go back just for that. The flan was good too. I’m not a huge flan fan, but my daughter enjoyed it. Something to keep in mind tacos are a la carte so if you are very hungry, order more than one and maybe sides. We didn’t try them, but just thought it was worth mentioning. I’ll definitely be back and I didn’t feel like the prices were too outrageous for what you got.

Beautiful restaurant. Service and food were good. I did the the Pancha dinning for my daughters birthday on 3/17/25 which was a nice and different experience. Definitely would try again.

It was a fantastic experience. Brooke provided exceptional service, and the band performed beautifully.

Staff was really nice and accommodating. Food came out in a timely manner. Pizza and fries were delicious.

Pleasant outdoor dinning and healthy well prepared food.
