    Baja shrimp tacos
    Talia T.

    We came here around 5 for happy hour! although we couldn't sit outside we were sat inside right away. Our server was super nice. The ambience was happy hour vibes which we enjoyed. The food tasted great, I had the shrimp tacos and instead of fried they let me have them blackened. The Paloma was probably the best one I've tried in a long time. The only thing I think could be changed is the women's restroom handles to wash your hands they are encrusted in mold or sediment. I also wasn't given happy hour pricing on the drink, unless I chose the wrong ones. Either way, we will be back!

    My favorite!! Prickly pear margarita
    Tami D.

    One of the best dining experiences I've had in Georgetown. Top rate dining, atmosphere, menu! We had a large group for lunch and our waiter was attentive and unruffled. He kept the chips, salsa, and drinks filled and gave great menu recommendations. I had the prickly pear margarita which is my #1 favorite cocktail and I loved it. I had the street corn with sriracha aioli and the flautas. Both were great for lunch before walking around the Square. The fajitas looked amazing but on my next trip I'm getting the arrachera tacos. They were a big hit at the table.

    We went to Encantada Cocina & Cantina in Georgetown for their Valentine's Day brunch event and the experience did not disappoint! I had such a fun time with friends. We made a reservation ahead of time and it was SO well worth it! When we arrived they had a lphoto station at the entrance with Valentine's Day props by Howdy Shots Photo Co. (huge shout of Howdy Shots Co. as well for making our experience extra memorable!) the photo station was equipped with items like red and pink cowboy hats and heart-shaped sparkly glasses so you could take cute photos, which came out looking adorable! Then we were escorted to a darlin igloo-style dome. Inside our enclosure there were roses hanging upside down, along with cute hanging lights, heart-shaped champagne glasses and heart shaped plates, which set the tone for our great experience. They also provided us colorful markers so we could each decorate a wine glass to take home, which we had fun with! Our waiter was kind and attentive the whole time. We were instantly greeted with a mimosa tower and small bites such as waffles with maple syrup, mini pink cupcakes, granola, chocolate hearts and yogurt served on a magnetic heart-shaped charcuterie board . We also ordered French press coffee that tasted so delicious and came served to us nice and hot with the freshest side of wiped coffee cream I have ever seen. The presentation as a whole was on point! Altogether, the entire experience was really amazing, so much fun and honestly unique. I would definitely do it again. I also loved the feel of the restaurant's overall environment and atmosphere and loved the indoor/outdoor seating areas. It works great for couples, friends, or groups. Overall I'd give the experience a 10 out of 10!

    Chips and Queso, Carajillo, and Mojito
    Zachary S.

    In the long debate of where to go for dinner the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the Tex-Mex from Encantada in Georgetown seemed to be worth a shot. As we walked in, we learned that sitting outside required a brief wait, so we headed to their bar and waiting area to get some chips and queso and a drink to get the night started. I ended up opting for a Carajillo while my friend got herself a Mojito. The bar is pretty on top of it and it is cool they have a full bar menu separate from the main dining room that allows you to order drinks and eat without having to wait for a table to open up. The outdoor space and garden area for the bar is vast and very cozy. I love a good Carajillo and the one here was pretty solid. Watching them make it in front of me from the bar, it is clear it is well-crafted and balanced and it is great that they have multiple coffee-based cocktails for me and me alone. After munching through some chips and queso, it was not too long until our table was ready. The outdoor section we were seated in faces the south fork of the San Gabriel River which on a nice fall evening really builds a great atmosphere to dine at. Our waiter was pretty attentive through our visit even on a busy night where there was barely any parking. Looking at the view and the menu back and forth, I ultimately ordered the San Gabriel Plate which had a choice of beans, rice, and two enchiladas I got with queso plus a beef taco I got on flour. As a whole, it was fine. It was pretty simple Tex-Mex and was nothing that blew me away. It was maybe a little more pricey than the average Tex-Mex meal, so it is a little sad when you cannot taste the difference too much. The views and the drinks really make the place special compared to their food. If you are looking for the best Tex-Mex in Williamson County, this is not it even if the flashy atmosphere and beautiful aesthetic might pull you in. Just try not to be a moth to the flame.

    Unfortunately this is the last time dining here. The prices are absolutely outrageous! You can go to downtown Austin and pay less. The taco order comes with two for $17.00 and they charge for rice and beans. The manager said they include them now. We ordered jalapeño poppers they brought out 5 small ones. It's like wow ok did someone eat the 6 one? $15.00 for 5 small jalapeño poppers. I saw the managers response to other peoples comments about prices. I cook a lot and go to the store probably twice a week I know how much things cost. You can buy a giant bag of jalapeños for 3.00 or less. We are a family of 3 we each ordered just the tacos and the appetizer. After tip it was $75.00. We have eaten at the domain for less and got more food. Overpriced & Overrated ‼UPDATE‼ Cherie the manager responded to my review. I posted the picture below...the picture says it all. YES they do charge for rice and beans.

    I was coming to this place when it was El Monumento, so when I searched for it, I was disappointed that it said it was permanently closed. Little did I know, it just changed owners and name. I love coming here and enjoy the views from the bar detached from the restaurant. The decor is the same. Things haven't changed that much which is a plus. I came by for a little bit so I didn't try the food this time. However, if the chance of owners is between family members I don't think the food has changed that much. The drinks are amazing though! I talked to the staff and they said the change has not affected anyone. All staff is pretty much the same. New items in the menu, but main dishes conserve the previous essence. I kept looking at the Tres leches desert but settled for the margarita, im drinking my calories today. :-)

    Chips and queso
    Elise M.

    Love the updated menu and seasonal offerings at Encantada! The cranberry margarita was fabulous! Service was attentive and friendly. They also offer special pre fixe dining in their outdoor 'igloos' (clear bubble-like tents decorated for the holidays). Such a cute, unique idea! The building, patio, and decor are beautiful and inviting. This is a great option for drinks and good food if you're in the area or visiting the Square.

    Quinoa Bowl
    Bill M.

    We ordered take-out one Sunday afternoon in October. The establishment is beautiful, located right on the San Gabriel River in the heart of GTX. There are lovely plants all around and a nice deck with outdoor seating that overlooks the river. We also saw several Monarch butterflies enjoying nectar in some of the bushes near the parking lot. I had the quinoa bowl, and it was satisfying both in flavor and size. I'll return, hopefully to dine-in or out next time.

    Chicken & Poblano Cream

    This will be our new place to come by. The atmosphere is very elegant! Food was very delicious! Our server was amazing. The view of a river was a bonus to our sitting.

    Duck bones in my enchiladas
    Kevin W.

    Really nice looking building with a great patio but it's too large for the limited parking they have. The place is beautiful and the service is excellent. The food is just ok. The menu hints at an upscale Mexican cuisine but the flavors fall short. The saving grace here is probably that despite the upscale menu items the prices do seem reasonable. I don't like that they charge for chips and salsa, just not something I'm used to in central Texas. My wife wanted some queso though so we sprung for the chips and they were quite good. Alas another disappointment came quickly when we realized that even though we just spent $10 for a bowl of cheese, which wasn't all that great, that still didn't get us any salsa. They wanted another $4 for a salsa! I had the duck enchiladas. Not much flavor and it wasn't hot. Our food arrived so fast that I didn't even have to wonder... it's not cooked to order. I'm somewhat used to that in your typical Mexican cafe, but it's not the upscale vibe they are trying to pull off here. Oh, and I found bones (multiple) in my enchiladas. It's not a terrible meal if you value the ambiance and service but we probably won't be back.

    Sopapillas.
    Bill K.

    Food was excellent. Really great chips and salsa. Chili relleno was perfect. Service was timely. Ambience was relaxed. Sopapillas were good

    Beef Fajitas
    Tanner C.

    I want to start by saying this is my third Encantada experience. The first, the night they opened, the second visit was in mid February. The first two experiences truthfully, were disappointing. I was exceptionally disappointed because El Monumento was somewhere we frequented sometimes more than once a week. Always taking our out of town guests as well as a weekend spot for ourselves. At the grand opening things were all over the place, probably to be expected. A few months later when we tried again we were once again disappointed. It seemed like the fajitas on that visit weren't the best and it kind of gave the impression that they were still navigating a changing menu. After not having been in a while, craving one of our favorites and continuing to try and support a local business we decided to try again. I'm so glad we did. It really did seem like everything was the best it's ever been. My fajitas were cooked exactly the way I asked. Our waitress, Maddy, was excellent. It was exactly what we had been missing for months. I'm really looking forward to making this a regular spot again. I also have to admit that another big reason that we decided to give it another try is most of the negative reviews seem to be from the initial transition. It really felt like this got worked out. I also appreciated that the owner and their spouse are active on socials and it really seems like they're trying to make this restaurant a success. I appreciated some of their comments back to negative reviews saying they were going to work on whatever the review stated. All this said, if you haven't been in awhile, check out Encantada. Have a margarita, the queso flameado, and the fajitas. I can promise you will not be disappointed.
