About this business
El Encanto became a favorite for its enchanting setting and great food. The business grew rapidly and eventually needed a more developed and improved infrastructure. In 2003, Bill’s daughter Christine, a lawyer living in Washington, came back to join and run the business. Christine developed new operating systems to manage the increased volume and built a management team to implement them. They focus on improving consistency and enhancing the level of service. Christine and Chef Hernandez also developed a new menu,main... read more

El Encanto Mexican Cafe This is my favorite Mexican restaurant for atmosphere. Whenever we have family or friends visit from the east coast, we take them to this cafe for a real southwest meal. It is especially nice on the weekends when they have entertainment in the outdoor part of the restaurant.
Duck Pond This is a great place to take the kids. The duck pond will entertain them while the food is being prepared. The food itself is not the greatest. Its a fun family outing.
Wasn't too impressed with this place... I absolutely love Mexican food. I had heard some good things about this place and wanted to give it a try. It's not too far from where I live. I wasn't too crazy about El Encanto's salsa (that came with the chips)- I look forward to good salsa when I go out to eat at Mexican restaurants. The food was just OK, nothing fancy. It's not a place that I will go back to as there are other Mexican restaurants I'd rather eat at.
Stop in so you know what the locals are talking about Another one of those Cave Creek institutions. I'm not a fan of Mexican food but I order the quesadilla which is pretty mild. Actually fairly bland which works for me. The place does have an old world feel which is cool. Also, the ducks are good for entertainment. Worth checking out. People do love it.
El Encanto in Cave Creek is an experience like no other. It has probably been 10 years since we first were sent to try out their Mexican food. The courtyard with its pond and walls, and its many feathered ducks, swans, and birds is as enjoyable as being in an old hacienda. The "home" area is also the best ambiance we have seen anywhere in the major metro area...so authentic everywhere that food and drink is served. El Encanto is expanding in other areas but as yet has not re-created the atmosphere that is in Cave Creek.

Terrible Service and management – El Encanto has a beautiful setting with a pond full of ducks. We had the worst service I have ever experienced. After about an hour, 2 bowls of chips and a few margaritas we were brought food we never ordered. Our waitress returned shortly after to confirm what we did order and appeared to be putting our order in for the first time. I was fine with everything heck I was drinking margaritas, but the thing that finally got to me (besides seeing all the people come and go that we sat well after... read more
Been eating here for years – And have always liked the food and atmosphere very much up until the last two meals here. They have gotten terrible and will not return, even though I have lived nearby since 1984.
