If you’re planning a visit to the OC Fair & Event Center, make Descanso Restaurant Costa Mesa your first or final stop for bold, authentic Mexican flavors. Located just minutes away, Descanso offers a variety of tacos that showcase high-quality ingredients and regional inspiration—all crafted with attention to detail. Try the Don Chingon Al Pastor, featuring fire-roasted pork with grilled pineapple and morita aioli; the Volcano Tacos, a surf-and-turf mix of shrimp and steak with queso fresco and serrano chiles; or the richly layered Birria Tacos made with short rib estofado and served with birria consomé. Each taco is served on handmade blue corn or flour tortillas and finished with salsas, cotija cheese, or micro cilantro for added flavor. Whether you're looking for a quick bite before the fair or a satisfying meal after a day of rides and live music, Descanso’s tacos offer a refined yet approachable alternative to fairground food.
