If you're Mexican and Spanish cuisine lover, come here. You will try nicely cooked pupusas, chicken and tacos. The good staff works hard, stays positive and makes this place wonderful. A number of people highlight that the service is nice. Pay affordable prices for eating at this restaurant. The cozy atmosphere will be exactly just what you need after a hard working day. But google users haven't given El Encanto a high rating.

I would definitely eat there again, though I think from now on that I'll call and order for pickup. The restaurant is small and cramped. The door kept opening which was letting cold air in and the service wasn't great. Also, they don't serve liquor so the margaritas we were hoping for were a no-go. The water that we ordered in lieu of this was bottled Deer Park and cost $1. There were no complimentary chips and salsa and there was quite a wait for our food, even though it wasn't very busy when we came in. The food was very good. I got a pupusa loco (filled with pork, cheese AND beans). It was about the size of a dessert plate and was very filling. It was served with coleslaw and hot sauce, neither of which I cared for but I put sour cream on them and it was delicious. I probably could have eaten just that if I wasn't extremely hungry. I also ordered the Tipicos El Encanto (3 tacos, beans and rice) and chose the steak. They were delicious. The tortillas seemed fresh, the meat was tasty, well cooked and decently seasoned (not spicy), and it was served with a slice of avocado on each, fresh lime, some sort of green salsa, a little fresh salsa with shredded lettuce, beans and rice. Next time I'll just order the tacos on the side though because I didn't think the beans and rice were anything too exciting but they weren't bad. Also, for $9 for the whole plate the quality to price definitely couldn't have been beat. I did see that you can order the tacos a la carte but I don't recall the price for each. Overall, I was pleased. Definitely would recommend for a take-out place. Probably won't be sitting in the restaurant next time though.
