Descanso Costa Mesa pays tribute to Mexico’s Pacific coastal cuisine with fresh, citrusy dishes inspired by the regions of Nayarit, Sinaloa, and Baja California. The menu features the Ceviche Tropical, made with sea bass, mango, jicama, cucumber, Fresno chiles, red onion, lime, and mango-habanero salsa, garnished with micro cilantro and served with tortilla chips. For a more savory seafood medley, the Ceviche Campechano brings together shrimp, octopus, and white fish in a clam-tomato marinade—perfect for pairing with a crisp cocktail or cold cerveza. These ceviches highlight the bright, briny, and spicy notes that define coastal Mexican fare. Ideal for lunch or light dinner, they offer a refreshing counterpoint to grilled meats and heavier plates. Whether you’re dining after a morning at South Coast Plaza or enjoying a casual happy hour, Descanso’s seafood offerings deliver true coastal flavor in the heart of Orange County.
