text: El Encanto is one of those oldtime restaurants of Arizona As Durants Steakhouse McAlpine Tee Pee Sugar Bowl Red Devil all have roots in Arizona dating back decades nnThe food at El Encanto is good overall with a few small overlooked details First the Carnitas can be a bit on the fatty side Second when the food arrives do not expect it all to be served at the same time I was dining the other evening at El Encanto a table of it took trips to serve us all over the course of minutes nnThe margaritas tend to be a bit thin as well they need to adopt a recipe that requires more then a margarita mixer and tequila Fresh lime juice is always a great place to startnnI do enjoy the space itself very relaxing great restaurant to go and chill with friends The menu has had an overhaul in the past year reducing it to a fraction of what it was My advice expand the menu to not include just the Sonora stuff tacos enchiladas etc but add some items that you cannot get on every corner in Phoenix Overall a slightly above average experience
