BEHIND THE PLATE
At Descanso, Chef José shared four of his favorite dishes from the menu, paired with cocktails that complement each plate.
From fresh ceviche to carne asada, shrimp alambre, and a carnitas skillet, here’s what he brought to the table.
Ceviche Tropical + Paloma
The Ceviche Tropical brings together fresh seafood with bright, tropical flavors. Chef José paired it with a Paloma, adding a refreshing citrus-forward complement to the ceviche.
Carne Asada + Olvera Street
Grilled carne asada is paired with the Olvera Street cocktail. The richer, savory flavors of the dish make this a natural place for a more spirit-forward pairing.
Shrimp Alambre + Mi Corazón
The Shrimp Alambre combines shrimp with the flavors and ingredients of a traditional alambre, paired with the Mi Corazón cocktail.
Carnitas Skillet + Hasta La Muerte
The Carnitas Skillet rounds out Chef José’s selections, paired with Hasta La Muerte. Served hot from the skillet, it's a hearty finish to the four pairings.
