Encanto Cocina & Cantina

Alondra T. a month ago

We came in for lunch a little after noon. We sat at the bar because they had 2 big reservations come in and it would be faster. Eder was our bartender/server. He was very attentive, friendly and on top of what we needed. The food was great. I got the Encanto and my friend did too. Mine with charro beans and guac, hers with steamed veggies and a salad. Everything was delicious, the salsas we got afterwards were flavorful but not spicy. We got a the sunny afternoon and venom punch drinks, both were really yummy! Music was fun and atmosphere as well. They opened the windows out to the street so the view was great.

I really wanted to love Encanto. RiNo is full of fun spots, and from the outside this one looks like it’s going to be a great night out. The vibe is definitely more bar-party than traditional Mexican restaurant. Loud music, high energy, lots of people there to drink and socialize. If you’re looking for a place to pregame or have a lively night out with friends, this fits that bill. Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark. Our server barely checked in, drinks sat empty for a while, and it felt like we were more of an afterthought than actual guests. In a high-energy space, attentive service matters even more and that just wasn’t the experience we had. I also ordered the chile relleno, and it was disappointing. It didn’t taste authentic, and for the price, I expected something that felt closer to traditional Mexican flavors. Instead, it came across more like a trendy bar version of the dish and not in a good way. For what you’re paying, the food should be the highlight, not the letdown. Overall, this feels more like a party spot that happens to serve food rather than a restaurant focused on quality Mexican cuisine. Great if you’re going for drinks and a loud night out. Not the place if you’re craving authentic Mexican food or attentive service.

Well done! Great service, excellent food and fun atmosphere. We sat outside and really enjoyed the awesome weather. The food was perfection! Well flavored, hot and fresh. Every bite was special and we are thinking of a return visit in the newer future. A must try!

We visited Encanto for the first time today and I was a bit skeptical at first, because in my experience places that care a lot about aesthetics and decor don’t tend to have the best food, well this was the exception. Everything we tried was great! We especially liked the Sopecitos appetizers, the Encanto main dish with arrachera and the Churros for dessert. Tania was our server and she really took care of us all night. We’ll definitely be back
