      We recently visited Encanto for a date night on a Friday, and it was such a fun experience. For starters. the ambience was incredibly charming and very trendy as you would expect from this area.

      We started with a couple of glasses of wine and shared a couple of appetizers before sharing a main course. The food was absolutely delicious Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.

      The service was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

      Overall, I highly recommend Encanto for a great night out. Whether you're there for a special occasion or just a casual dinner, you're in for a treat.

      Excellent service, cute space, but way way too loud. The music was blaring!

      Food was mid. Def not worth the price. Flautas were overcooked. The guacamole was a little spicy.

      Encanto was an upscale, enjoyable dining experience. The food was quite on point, the ambiance was wonderful, and the service was top-notch. Overall I highly recommend Encanto if you're looking for an upscale, high quality meal. I will not that if you're looking for a "standard" Mexican food menu, this is not the place for you so just take a look at the menu before going there.

      FOOD: we got the pork fajitas, blue corn tortillas, and roasted cauliflower. The meat was cooked perfectly and very tender. The tortillas were just perfect. And the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. I especially liked the carrot puree with the cauliflower.

      AMBIANCE: the restaurant has a great upscale ambiance. It was a bit loud in the restaurant during peak times so we actually sat outside but the tables/etc were very nice even being outdoors.

      SERVICE: really great! The server made everything happen perfectly. The food came out quick. And only one time did our water not get filled quickly. But overall they did a great job of refilling/having attentive service considering we were one of the furthest tables from the inside (so they wouldn't see that our water was empty by just walking by) and would have to intentionally check (I also tend to drink a lot of water).

      Home of the $10 margarita, Encanto is bringing wood fire Baja coastal deliciousness to LA!
      Love the upgraded new interior. It's so vibrant and chic.

      They take their margaritas very seriously. They were so refreshing with a great kick to it.

      We were told they serve pristine oyster and I couldn't agree more! They were quite palatable.

      When you go, you must upgrade your guac to the fancy guacamole. The roasted lobster & chorizo on top were brilliant additions.

      Their Ceviches were fabulous, especially the Roja and leche de Tigre. So fresh with a vibrant citrus tang.

      Then the main star, Frutos Del Mar. It included lobster, scallops, red snapper and grilled veggies. This was simply phenomenal. Perfectly charred, tender and infused with a robust smokiness.

      We had to end our dinner on a sweet note, their tres leches take with infused tequila syrup was so unique and their churros were crispy on the outside with a soft doughy center. irresistibly tasty!

      Shout out to Ruben and Grant for being so hospitable and friendly. Great service!

      From fresh ceviches to charred asada, Encanto is the perfect destination to relax and enjoy a meal & margaritas with your amigos

      Well, LA, I guess it must be you!

      In the last 5 years, I don't believe I've had a bad meal anywhere in Los Angeles - from the dusty corner joints in the hood, to the well established restaurants like Encanto. Like most places in LA, the food is excellent, coupled with great service - and is reasonably priced. Encanto serves some of the best elevated Mexican food I've had in a long time. Their branzino is the best!

      Tested out this newer restaurant with some friends the other night and was really satisfied. The highlights would be the Iberico Pork Fajitas and my Mango Slushy cocktail. The servers were extremely attentive and friendly and the restaurant does offer some outdoor seating as well. It was a very relaxing place to have a leisurely girls dinner and I would definitely go back to try more menu offerings.

      Have come here twice now for dinner and the food is great, service solid, but for some reason they leave their front door open with the AC on and flies come in. We sat by the window and there were dead flies on the railing underneath the window as well as live ones buzzing around. We moved tables and there were still flies trying to land on the food. We watched flies land on silverware and cups at empty tables. When we moved tables, the waiter said "sorry it's fly season". Just close the front door. You guys have an open kitchen.

      Me and my wife visited this place on Friday for the first time right away we were greeted and welcome very nicely. By the gentleman seems like he was the general manager or front of staff . We had a reservation and we were seated right away, our waitress and her trainee helper were very nice and offered up many suggestions which they were all great ones. The restaurant is very beautiful the decor and vibe where on point . Everybody seems to be happy to be working there and you can tell base how busy this place is . The food was amazing and delicious, the skirt steak marinated to perfection and is a must get . It was overall a great night with great drinks and delicious food. We are excited to go back and take our friends to enjoy another evening there.

      Encanto is a gem in the Los Feliz neighborhood and I highly recommend giving it a try. The establishment was quiet when it first entered the neighborhood but has quickly grown into a lively restaurant. They have $10 margaritas all day every day, delicious carne asada steak, and sometimes have live music. Sit at the bar and request Ruben to make the best cocktails!

      Overall this place was nice to try for the first time

      Drinks were good specially the aviation

      The hostess was very friendly and nice

      Ambiance was good, if you sit in the lounge area you can see both the street & the bar

      Wish there were more food options than just the steak, chicken, & fish!
