Sites, Sounds and Tastes of Mexico
The original El Encanto is a romantic Old-World
Mission-style restaurant cradled in the
heart of Cave Creek. It has a
picturesque pond setting, allowing diners to
sit along the water, under a covered patio,
and observe and mingle with the playful
wildlife, including ducks, turtles, owls,
and an amazing blue heron.
The menu is authentic handmade Mexican
Cuisine, with specialties from regions all
over Mexico, including daily fresh fish
specials. All of the Mexican Cuisine at El
Encanto is authentic and handmade, from the
freshest ingredients, and is considered by
many to be the best Mexican food in the
Valley.
El Encanto recently opened its second
restaurant in Desert Hills Arizona. The new
restaurant has the same great food in a
different setting. It also has the feel of
Mexico with vibrant colors, tile scenes and
wrought iron accents. There is plenty of
outdoor dining next to a small creek, where
guests sit next to a picturesque fireplace
and enjoy their meals.
Both restaurants have uniquely designed
indoor/outdoor Cantinas with views of the
enchanting setting. Intricate
handcrafted details include a bar top made
of swirlstone; inlaid Mexican tile; and
handmade wrought iron wine racks and chairs
designed by local artists. El Encanto
Dos also boasts a sports bar with 5 large
plasma televisions.
The cantinas carry more than 40 different
tequilas that can be sampled in flights, and
a distinctive wine selection from Mexico,
Spain, South America, California and Oregon.
The Cantina Tapas menu offers a selection of
smaller, more specialized items to the bar
clientele.
The owners, Bill Nelson and his daughter
Christine, have tried to create an authentic
Mexican atmosphere in which to enjoy
similarly authentic and in many cases unique
to Arizona Mexican specialties. All
accompanied by a knowledgeable welcoming
staff eager to ensure each guests complete
enjoyment.
