Bring your al fresco fiesta to Descanso to enjoy weekly happenings including Sunday Brunch with bottomless mimosas, weekday Happy Hour, Alambre Mondays, and Wine Wednesdays featuring live music on the patio. 
 
Descanso’s menu of Central Mexican street-inspired cuisine is available inside, to-go, and al fresco on the restaurant’s 1,500 square-foot heated patio.

Born in Mexico City and growing up in San Pedro California, Fonzy began his culinary career as a high school student shucking oysters and cleaning fish at the San Pedro Docks.
