I ordered the Hanger Steak and the corn in the sauce was amazing ! I think the portions were just right! Will def be coming again. It is on the pricey side, but definitely worth it! The staff is amazing :)

A pleasant surprise to being at Descanso for the first time celebrating a birthday lunch. There was a hiccup with our appetizer in which our waitress quickly fixed. It was busy, but our waitress was great and come back to check on us. Very appreciative. The different dishes were well prepared and yummy. The cocktails and drinks were also well made and delicious. Would definitely return.

My husband and I really enjoyed this spot. We tried the elote (highly recommend), Chile quiles, churro pancakes, and chamoy martini. We recommend all of it. The atmosphere is nothing exciting, but the service was top notch, and it's very accessible and easy to park. I'm sure we'll be back.

One of the best Mexican cuisine experiences. I like how they incorporate a hibachi style take but still keep it authentic Mexican food. Next time I’d ask for two bowls of the fried rice it was so good.

Fabulous restaurant. Great experience, delicious food and good drinks. We went on the day of the death. To our surprise they had mariachis playing during their brunch time.
They have a taco bar, regular bar, restaurant sitting and patio sitting as well.
Thel also have a multi course meals a la plancha. (reservations required) for this experience.
Great service!

The food didn't taste bad. I was hoping to order the sea bass but they were all out the night we went. I think i was just expecting more of a show like at Tokyo Wako, but all we got was like 3 really huge fires. Service was ok. We didn't get seated until 30mins after our reservation time. I'm Glad I tired it but I'm ok if I never go back, except maybe for brunch.

The food was really good! Loved the taco selection. There's something to everyone. We did brunch, it was not very loud. They have outdoor seating in case you bring a pet

Descanso Restaurant captures the heart of Mexican cuisine perfectly — authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A truly special place to dine.

We went for dinner, and were able to take advantage of their happy hour menu. Nice selection during happy hour. We ordered the elote, guacamole, taco skillets, tortilla soup, and a watermelon margarita. Food and service were good. Prices were reasonable.
