Birthday Party

I heard about this new restaurant in LA that served Michoacán style Mexican food and I had to try it. I love all food, but I really love when it’s authentic and you feel like you’re in another world. When walking in, I notice the space is big, ambiance is beautiful, the view of the bar is spectacular, and there are tvs there showing the latest game. There was a birthday party going on when I was there, so they got a bit loud. Happy hour was ending, and you can tell they were having fun which I enjoyed watching. Our waiter Andres was incredibly nice. Whatever we asked for he gave us and even provided us with recommendations and great info about the restaurant and the food since it was our first time there. Now for the food, my fiance and I ordered the following: chips and salsa with salsa Frita, ceviche campechano-seafood ceviche, Caesar salad, Hanger Steak, enchiladas langosta. For the dessert we had flan and arroz con leche. And for the drinks we had Brezo Dulce, Yano Vuela, and Pasion y plata. What I loved about it all is that everything is made from scratch and the juice in the drinks are freshly squeezed. We enjoyed everything but the standouts were the brezo dulce drink, seafood ceviche, enchiladas langosta and omg the salsa frita was sooo good! I can’t wait to come back here and try out the Private Plancha room with the chef experience. This place is definitely going to be in rotation for me in the future.

Birthday Party

Recently, I had the pleasure of having a late lunch at a new Mexican restaurant named Descanso, formerly the location of Marie Callender's, situated in the Miracle Mile area. The experience, which coincided with a birthday celebration, was exceptional. We selected a delicious arugula, sweet grilled corn Chipotle shrimp salad, and the Carne Asada, which was notably flavorful, tender, and expertly prepared. The desserts, particularly the brownie topped with marshmallows and the uniquely textured cheesecake, were outstanding. Kudos to the extraordinary chef's dedication. In terms of service, there is room for improvement, but we are all humans. The manager's attentiveness ensured a positive dining experience. I anticipate returning to the restaurant to share the experience with friends and sample more of the culinary offerings at this location with a very "relaxed" atmosphere.
