Since moving from Texas it's been hard to find Mexican up to our standards but we think we've come close with El Encanto!! What really makes this place unique is the decor and the interior garden with pool, ducks abound & huge areas with their own kitchens for parties. Semi exterior bar & dining with plenty of misters to cut down on the heat. The interior seating has glass walls so you can enjoy the view of the garden pool area. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating for large groups. Plenty of on site parking.
Beautiful location. My favorite place to eat while in Cave Creek. The margaritas are excellent; the food as well. Highly recommend the seafood enchiladas on Sundays (and everything else). Great little shops around to check out as well (shout out cave Creek olive oil company). Take a date, take your family, go for a quick lunch! You will enjoy the experience. Get a seat by the water if you can.
I used to come here regularly but haven’t since I moved away. Just as good as I remember. So good that I forgot to take pictures of my chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. The guacamole and mango margaritas were delicious.
I recommend making a reservation, because I was able to be seated right away. My server was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the mocktail, guacamole and fried ice cream! The pond had birds and turtles that I enjoyed watching.

★★★★★A perfect serene dining experience. Even in the heat of the day, the patio is an enjoyable place to sit. They have all sorts of animals coming all around the pond, we were lucky enough to get there when the heron decided to make a pit stop.
Great food, lot of portions and reasonable pricing. Nice interior with pond. There are beautiful fishes, turtles and ducks. No wait times ample parking.
Excellent food. Great service. Beautiful view. I had the chilli relleno and it was amazing. Michelle was our waitress and she is just a pleasure to talk to.
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!
