Descanso

Descanso is a premier contemporary Mexican kitchen located in the historic SAG AFTRA Plaza, bringing the vibrant energy of a traditional Michoacán town square to Los Angeles. The restaurant is celebrated for its signature Plancha Dining experience, where skilled chefs prepare multi-course meals right before your eyes at communal tables. This flagship location features a sprawling 9,000 square foot space designed by the award-winning team at Studio Munge, complete with two open-air patios and a sophisticated central bar. Recognized for its commitment to ingredient integrity, the culinary team, led by Chef Jose Angulo, prepares every dish from scratch using seasonal produce and sustainable proteins. Whether you are enjoying their famous short rib estofado or a hand-shaken botanical margarita, Descanso offers a refined yet soulful tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Central West Mexico.
