Descanso Restaurant

Descanso Restaurant

Descanso restaurant is a contemporary kitchen & bar that blends traditional Mexican recipes with modern influence. Created by Rob Arellano, the concept draws inspiration from his Mexican heritage, offering a unique and nostalgic dining experience. The perfect atmosphere for a paint and sip event!

At Descanso, you can choose to dine at a standard dining table or a la Plancha. Dining a la Plancha, you’ll witness skilled chefs prepare authentic Mexican dishes at your table in a lively setting. Our dishes and cocktails are rich in history and flavor, reflecting traditional Mexican dining.

If you’ve ever wandered through a charming town in Michoacán, you’ve likely encountered a street-side Taquero—grilling meats and vegetables, serving tacos that are bursting with flavor and made with heart. It’s one of the most authentic and beloved expressions of Mexican culinary culture—simple, soulful, and unforgettable.

That’s the essence of Plancha Dining at Descanso restaurant—a modern homage to a time-honored tradition, where every meal tells a story.
