    Newlyweds, randomly booked a last minute reservation at Encanto. we walked in and were immediately welcomed with love and an available table upon arrival. The energy was so inviting and everyone from the host, to our server, to the chef coming to congratulate us was just the cherry on top. Don’t even get me started on the food and drinks which were decedent and flowing especially on a Friday night. Definitely a memorable day followed by an amazing celebratory dinner. My husband and I already can’t wait to go back for some more taste of Baja. Thanks again Encanto
