Apr 19, 2024 Fun and very pricey. We had a party of eight at the Plancha in addition to the mandatory service charge, no problem, they charged me a 2% surcharge on the food. When I asked about the extra surcharge the server said that was to cover the extra food costs. The food lacked depth, missing final touches like salt and spice. For the money and lack of flavor, would not return. Food looks better than it tastes. The guacamole tasted as if it was made hours earlier, something from El Torito but not a high-end restaurant

Feb 4, 2024 The highlight of our night was our server and the Mango crème brûlée. Server was super helpful with recommendations as it was our first time. Unfortunately it wasn’t the chefs best night as I see a lot of reviews state the food is full of flavor, but both of our entrees were flavor less. We had the choriqueso verde that was ok, pozole which was ok, carne asada skillet and hanger steak that were bland. Also had flan and mango crème brûlée that were both delicious. The beans that came with the steak platter were super bland as well. We wanted to come back for the plancha experience but after spending over $130 and not really enjoying the food I’m not sure if we will.

Feb 1, 2024 Great presentation for food, service was great, but the flavor just wasn't there for me. we ordered carnitas plate, a Birria barbacoa taco and a Pastor taco. Drinks were decent as well.not very impressed. Although the appetizer, green choriqueso was pretty delicious, the green color was interesting and wasn't able to tell if it was real chorizo or vegan substitute? I will not come back unfortunately.

Feb 13, 2024 We were brought in by an awesome opportunity Descanso offered with proceeds benefitting the German Shepherd Rescue of OC. My family went last night and we sat at the "taco bar." This is the a la carte version of the plancha experience. Highly recommend! We had a reservation, but their website says you don't need one. I personally would make one as it is limited seating. Food was delicious, service was great, ambiance was fun and lively but still quiet enough for conversation. Great restaurant that we look forward to supporting!
Thank you to Descanso for offering this wonderful fundraiser!!

Jan 28, 2024 I have been following this restaurant since the first sample of their food at the Food and Wine Festival four years ago and have dined here several times. The food is always bursting with flavor. My favorite dish is simply the wet burrito with green salsa and I prefer the steak as my protein option. Speaking about the lunch portion, it is a good size to enjoy half in the restaurant and take the other half home for a second meal. Now, it isn't just the food that calls me back, but also the service. I have never had the same server twice, but with each experience I leave feeling like a valued guest. The atmosphere is cozy due to the excellent service and modern setting.
