Things to see and do, places to eat in Descanso
Descanso Junction Restaurant ( Dining / Steak ). Located at 8306 Highway 79. In these days of fast food, quick service and hurry-and-get-it-done, we can get quite nostalgic for times when life's pace was slower and quieter; when cooking and eating were family activities that served to nourish the heart and relationships as well as the body.
Descanso Junction Restaurant strives to recreate this atmosphere for busy families, without having to do the dishes afterward.
