    Overall my party had a decent dinner. The guest in my party who ordered the fish entree felt like it was under seasoned or had no seasoning at all. The Plancha portion of the dinner could’ve been more entertaining. Other than that, I don’t feel as though the overall experience was worth the price.

    My fiance and I went to have a brunch. The service was great, very friendly and attentive. The cook Maria made the experience fun and it felt intimate as we got lucky that my fiance and I were the only ones there for that time slot of the plancha experience.

    Our first time visiting after seeing this on Tik Tok. Love the detail and atmosphere! Beautiful place! We opt in for the plancha dining. Very nice experience to have your dinner prepared in front of you! My only con was the plancha was quite dark it would be nice to have a brighter spotlights on the plancha so the guest can have a nice visual of their meal being prepared! Overall I love the potential Descanso has to offer!

    A special dining experience. Tasty Mexican food presented in a very unique way. There are a variety of options on the menu for all and the service staff was very friendly and welcoming. The chef exhibited her skills in preparing a delicious dish for me and my guest. Definitely a place to visit when visiting Los Angeles.

    Amazing experience. The food was so tender and delicious and the amount of food was great too we even had left overs. The chef could have been more engaging but the food made it all worth it

    Don't get the queso Frita add on. Rip off. La plancha took 1 hr 43 minutes of our 2 hr limit just to get food. Drinks are light on liquor

    So delicious so fun. Celebrated my grandmother’s birthday. The fideo was my favorite part. I never see that offered at Mexican restaurants and it’s a comfort food for me.
