"Best mex around. A must visit when in the PHX area. I will drive 45 min to and hour out of my way for thier enchiladas and chips and salsa. Love this place."

"We love everything about El Encanto in Cave Creek! The beautiful courtyard overlooking the pond is breathtaking and watching the birds, ducks, turtles and koi is very cool. The frozen margaritas are the perfect way to begin a fun and memorable afternoon or evening. We have tried some of the specials, the house salad, tacos and sopapillas. Everything we have eaten here has been delicious! What I’ve mentioned so far would cause me to return again and again but there is more! The manager, Mel, has created such a relaxing family and friends atmosphere for the guests as well as the staff. The staff are knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The hostesses, our server, Jori, and every staff member was kind, responsive and fun. Jori is an amazing server in every way plus she is welcoming, attentive and laughs easily. We had the best time with her! You may come for a great meal and if you sit back and enjoy the natural beauty, the fresh air, the music, the other guests and staff, you will truly have a wonderful experience you won’t soon forget!"

"What an amazing place for traditional Mexican cuisine! The surroundings are incredible - pond beside the tables, heaters for inside and outside warmth. Special place that has a vibe of its own!!"

"El Encanto feels like a beautiful piece of Mexico. The food tastes authentic, and the mixture of indoor and outdoor seating is like none other. There is a wonderful pond in the center filled with cute little ducks, turtles, and fish. In the surrounding area, there's architecture that incorporates walls making way for trees and other plant life. While the space is large, the servers and other staff have delivered excellent customer service every time we've visited. Highly recommend visiting El Encanto."

"First time here. Was looking for a quiet dinner and got so much more. The property appeared to be built around the trees. It really felt like a great picnic at sunset under trees and open air. The service was wonderful. The ahi tuna tacos were very flavorful and filling.Will definitely look forward to coming back when I'm in the area."
