Descanso Brings The Streetside Taquero to Your Table… A La Plancha! If you’ve been to any quaint Mexican town, chances are that you’ve come face to face with a street-side Taquero, or Taco Man, grilling up meats and vegetables on the plancha and serving up the freshest, most flavorful tacos.  There is no arguing that this facet of Mexican cuisine and culture is one of the most romanticized and sought-after experiences for anyone who has been fortunate enough to indulge in it. Descanso Restaurant has brought the flavor and charm of the beloved Mexican taco stand – and even the taco stand itself – into a full-service restaurant setting, preserving the tradition and authenticity of the foods and recipes, but presented in a modern setting that is fun and interactive. Each menu item is executed with the utmost quality and finesse, in an intriguing and comfortable setting. Descanso has a few dining experiences for you to choose from… Plancha, Taco Bar, Standard, Bar and Patio!
