Descanso Restaurant’s Pozole for a Cause: Supporting Local Communities This Holiday Season
12.03.24
Descanso Restaurant in Costa Mesa is spreading holiday cheer with its Pozole for a Cause initiative, designed to benefit underserved communities and families in need. According to the 2024 Point in Time (PIT) Count, 7,322 individuals are experiencing homelessness in Orange County, and more than 3,000 children in the region face life-threatening illnesses annually. Through December 31, proceeds from every 32oz family-style Pozole order—available for takeout and dine-in—will support three local charities: Miracles for Kids, Trellis - Love Costa Mesa, and Share Ourselves.
Descanso’s Signature Pozole Rojo
This heartwarming dish features a slow-simmered red chile broth made with guajillo and ancho chiles, tender braised pork shoulder, and hominy. Each order is accompanied by corn tortilla chips, sliced onions, radishes, shredded lettuce, limes, oregano, and volcano salsa for added zest. Priced at $32 for 32oz, this take-home special helps fund critical programs for local nonprofits:
Miracles for Kids: Supports families with children battling life-threatening illnesses by assisting with essential expenses such as housing, bills, and basic needs.
Trellis – Love Costa Mesa: Helps individuals experiencing homelessness secure housing, employment, and vital resources for long-term stability.
Share Ourselves: Provides comprehensive health and social services, including medical and dental care, mental health support, food distribution, and housing navigation.
Order Details
Descanso’s family-style Pozole is available for delivery, takeout, and dine-in Thursday through Sunday until December 31. Orders can be placed by calling 714.486.3798 or visiting DescansoRestaurant.com.
