This was our first time trying Encanto & we were very pleased at how friendly the staff was. We tried a number of dishes & I would say one of our favorites was the Pappas potatoes & the taco trio. There was a festive energetic atmosphere, they were out of their chocolate cake but the flan was creamy & delicious. I would serve ice cream with the churros, perhaps dulce de leche or even vanilla would be great!

Great food, amazing dining room experience. The service was top notch. We had the ceviche, aguachile, the chicken, duck, and all were amazing. We had drinks, talked and laughed all night.

Nice place for a relax dinner. The food is very good with some typical Mexican dishes available. Service was fine. Also nice cantina in the same place for a drink. Free parking available in public parking lot just behind the restaurant on Orange Grove Ave. after 6:00 pm.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we ordered. The tortilla soup was flavorful and just the right spice level. We split shrimp fajitas and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and maintained their color.
