" What a fantastic restaurant! My family loved eating here. The portion sizes were enormous, and everyone cleaned their plates! The fajitas were sizzling and tasted so fresh. The service could have been a bit faster, but the atmosphere made up for it. We loved watching the turtles and fish while we dined. We'll definitely be coming back for another family dinner soon.

This spot is perfect for family gatherings or a romantic evening. I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience at El Encanto. The patio seating by the water enhances the dining experience. I tried their signature mole dish which was tasty but could use a little more spice. The service was generally good and attentive. Overall, a pleasant evening and I'd suggest trying it out for anyone who loves Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place really knows how to create a welcoming atmosphere! We loved sitting outside near the pond, surrounded by beautiful plants and wildlife. The enchiladas were well-seasoned but somewhat smaller in portion compared to what I'm used to. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. Overall, a good experience that's worth visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance by the pond adds a lovely touch to dinner. Can't wait to return and try more dishes from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved this place! Authentic Mexican food with generous portions and an adorable vibe by the pond. The service was excellent, even during peak hours. I tried the enchiladas and could tell they were made with care. A great spot for a date night, and I'm eager to try more of their dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
