Located on Adams Avenue, Descanso Costa Mesa offers a polished setting that makes it one of the area’s most versatile dinner destinations. Guests can begin with vibrant small plates like Elote Asado or Choriqueso Verde before moving into entrées such as Pollo Maya, marinated in achiote and seared on the Plancha, or Sea Bass con Chile Limón, bright with citrus and spice. For a heartier option, Short Rib Estofado delivers rich, slow-braised flavor balanced with handmade tortillas and seasonal sides. The Plancha experience remains a centerpiece, inviting guests to watch their meals cooked with flair and precision right at the table, while those who prefer a more traditional pace can relax in the dining room or on the spacious patio. Cocktails such as Mango 43 or Cucumber + Sal enhance the menu, pairing seamlessly with both lighter coastal dishes and robust grilled entrées. Whether it’s a weeknight meal, a date night, or a gathering with friends, Descanso Costa Mesa transforms everyday dining into something refined, flavorful, and memorable.
