El Encanto Mexican Restaurant ·$$

El Encanto became a favorite for its enchanting setting and great food. The business grew rapidly and eventually needed a more developed and improved infrastructure. In 2003, Bill’s daughter Christine, a lawyer living in Washington, came back to join and run the business. Christine developed new operating systems to manage the increased volume and built a management team to implement them. They focus on improving consistency and enhancing the level of service. Christine and Chef Hernandez also developed a new menu,maintaining many of the old favorites, while adding more fresh seafood and several of Chef Hernandez’s specialties from his hometown Mazatlan.

This place is absolutely beautiful. Very nice court yard and a pond with ducks and turtles. It would be an awesome place during cool months for an outdoor meal. We sat directly next to the pond...
