Descanso Celebrates Cinco de Mayo with Four Days of Food, Cocktails, and Festivities

Descanso Restaurant, the modern taqueria known for its lively Plancha-style cooking and bold Central West Mexican flavors, is kicking off an extended Cinco de Mayo celebration at both its Costa Mesa and Los Angeles locations.

From Friday, May 2, through Monday, May 5, guests can enjoy festive specials including signature margarita pitchers, appetizer platters, takeout cocktails, and all-day happy hour on Cinco de Mayo.

Perfect for sharing, Descanso’s margarita pitchers ($48–$62) come in flavors like El Descanso, Cucumber + Sal, and Bad Hombre. Pair a pitcher with a street food-inspired appetizer platter—Costa Mesa’s version ($35) includes Chips, Salsa Frita, Clásico Guacamole, Elote Asado, Chicken Taquitos, and Ceviche Campechano, while the Los Angeles platter ($40) features Birria Empanadas in place of the taquitos.

For those celebrating at home, takeout margaritas and cocktails ($25) serve four to six and are available in flavors like Hibiscus Smash and Cucumber + Sal.

The party wraps with an all-day happy hour on Monday, May 5, featuring drink and appetizer specials for lunch, dinner, and everything in between.
