Plancha as the Centerpiece of Dinner
The Plancha experience defines Descanso Costa Mesa’s identity, offering guests an opportunity to watch chefs prepare their meals directly at the table with flair, precision, and authenticity. Selections like Pork Loin Alambre, Carne Asada, Pollo Maya, and Sea Bass con Chile Limón are marinated, seasoned, and seared to perfection, filling the air with aroma and anticipation. Vegetables, charro beans, and Mexican fried rice are roasted and plated in harmony, while freshly pressed tortillas arrive warm and ready to wrap each flavorful bite. The Plancha is more than cooking—it’s theater, conversation, and connection all in one. Guests leave with memories of the sizzling sounds and vibrant colors of food prepared right before their eyes. Perfect for date nights, family celebrations, or weekend gatherings, the Plancha blends the street-side traditions of Mexico with the refinement expected in Orange County, making it both a signature of Descanso and an unforgettable way to enjoy dinner.
