★★★★☆ 4.0 Valerie Laugle · Jan 2026

This place is a definite place to try out if in the Cave Creek area. The atmosphere was on point. As far as the food...I had a great experience. I had tortilla soup and the two tamales. Paired with a prickly pear margarita. It was delicious. Everyone else in my party (three of them) said their food was dry and mediocre. So they were not jazzed about the food experience at all. But rated the place great in all the other areas.

I felt like I was in Mexico again when dining here, palm trees, old world decor a waterfall and perfect ambiance. The staff were prompt- very helpful and the Mole Enchilada was the best I've had outside of Mexico. Plenty of left over too!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alex Imlah · Jan 2026

The food was truly a delight, exceeding all expectations with its delicious flavors. We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by the attentive staff. The margaritas were expertly crafted and perfectly complemented our meal. It was a dining experience we would happily recommend to others. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.

Visited El Encanto Mexican restaurant, while in Arizona. The restaurant was nicely decorated, appeared clean, had a pond view. The food and service were ok. The tamales were dry and lacked flavor. One of the tamales was sweet. Did not like at all, but that's my preference as I prefer savory. The Ceviche was also dry, did not have sauce, the steak tacos were good and flavorful. The guacamole was good but needed more lime and salt. The service was mediocre, waiter was not attentive, expected better service. Try it, may be better service. Not sure if I would return.

El Encanto was an amazing Mexican restaurant and it felt like you weren't even in Arizona. I drove almost an hour to meet my family who lives in Goodyear for the afternoon. I had the carne asada tacos and they were the best I have ever had. More than 5 stars for this place. It was a beautiful day and we got to enjoy the patio by the water and watch the ducks as well.
