    First time at Encanto Cantina with my hubby, and let's just say--our taste buds are in love! From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere was calm, cozy, and so inviting. Perfect for a little date night escape! Our sweet waitress was so patient with us (because seriously, everything looked drool-worthy). And the food? Absolute perfection. Flavors dancing, plates (almost) empty, hearts full. We'll definitely be back for round two! Can't wait to try the street tacos next!

    Taco de Burnt Ribeye

    Thought we'd give Encanto a try while we were in town. For us, it was just disappointing from start to finish. The atmosphere is cute, and the seating is comfy. When we arrived the entire bar was open, and there were tables open, so there was absolutely no wait before the host took us to our table. And then . . . tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock. Tables seated after us had waters, drinks, apps, and we still sat there with only menus on our table feeling like we were wearing invisibility cloaks. Finally, after 20-25 minutes my husband went up to the bar to order something for us to drink and to ask that they send a server to our table. I would call this a big fail on the part of the host. When our server did eventually arrive, he couldn't answer many questions about the menu (in his defense, I don't speak Spanish, either, but the diner at the table next to me was also not getting questions answered and well, we do live in WI). For our order, we had a Corona, Perfect Margarita, cheese dip, Burritos Mexicano and Taco de Ribeye. Let's just say the only things on our table that had flavor were the salsa and the raw onions. Cheese sauce, burrito and taco = bland. A crime against ribeye was also committed as the extremely thin slices of ribeye were hard and leathery. A sign that they know things aren't going well is that they don't have anyone stopping by the tables to ask if everything is alright. We were there close to two hours and were definitely not happy with any part of Encanto.

    I went there with a group of guys before going to a movie on a recent Tuesday night. The perfect margaritas did take a little while to come out, but tasted great. The food was spot on. Decent service. A lot of great food for a reasonable price. I'll be back. Nice decor. Plenty of free parking.

    3 words. Damn good food. Was not expecting for this food to be as good as it was. The super soft house made tortillas made every tie together very well. The bartender Tristan was the coolest guy I've have the pleasure of speaking with during a meal. He let my colleague and I have our solo conversation yet popped in at the right moments and kept the night going as we ended up staying until closing. Overall great experience and food .

    Happen to be Cinco de Mayo - place was packed. It is a combo restaurant bodega. Menu has some good…read moreoptions - fajitas sound good. Portion was very good. Came with rice, beans, lettuce, and tortillas. It was cooked well, but lacked seasonings. The rice and beans were fairly bland as well. Overall OK, but could be better. 1 man, 2 cents...

    We just so happened to be in the Eau Claire area running an errand, and before we drove back home,…read morewe were feeling a bit peckish. We decided to check this place out for lunch since it wasn't too far from our current location. The restaurant sits in the middle of a strip mall, so parking was very easy and convenient. Inside the restaurant, a mini market selling basic Mexican ingredients and pantry goods is connected to it. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted promptly and picked out a table to sit at. We came during lunch time on a weekday and there was quite a bit of people in the dining area (it wasn't packed, but for a weekday lunch rush it was fairly busy). We ordered the ground beef chimichanga and beef tongue tacos. The chimichanga was fried perfectly and the ground beef was very well seasoned. It was hands down one of the best chimichangas we've ever tasted. The tacos were also delicious. The beef tongue was very tender and the salsas that came with our meal paired excellently with the tacos. I also very much enjoyed the seasoned radish that came with the tacos as an extra condiment because it gave the tacos more crunch and texture. Overall, the food was excellent. Service was fast and very friendly. The dining atmosphere was casual and it reminded of the hole-in-the wall places I used to frequent during my childhood. As a California native, I approve. So far this has been the best Mexican restaurant (in the Midwest) that we've tried. Would highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

    This restaurant is recently under new management! Great atmosphere, great food great service!…read more Looking forward to visiting soon!!

    Staying at a nearby hotel we had a taste for something Mexican and found Juanita's nearby, so we…read morethought we would give it a try. It's in a nice multi use development off River Prairie in a stand alone building shared with several other businesses. They have a great outdoor patio area as well, with some shade. So we were quickly seated by the hostess ( who also brought us tortilla chips and salsas. Within a minute a waiter(we assumed) came over and asked if we wanted to order any drinks. We give him our order and off he goes. In a few minutes another waiter comes to our table and asks the same thing. I tell him we just provided another waiter with our order. His response, oh, that's the bus boy??? ‍ So we give him the drink order and off he goes. After our drinks arrive our waiter asks if we are ready to order and we give him our order as it is starting to get busy with some larger tables filling up. We ended up ordering the carne asada plate and a chicken tamale plate with extra pork tamale. All the plates come with beans and rice as sides. Our meals arrive and they look great. Unfortunately, the carne asada was very tough. Not sure if they marinaded it at all or what,but was very tough. This is my wife's go to meal when eating Mexican, so she is very familiar with how it should taste and even cut. Sadly the tortillas were very greasy, which you can see in the pictures. Not sure if they sprayed them with oil before heating, but not great. My tamales were just ok. Meat was very dry even when I added a a lot of hot sauce. The rice and beans were ok as well. So overall kind of average. Would I come back again, probably not. There seemed to be a lot of Mexican restaurants in the Altoona/Eau Claire area that I would try before coming back.

    Well judging from my Yelp list for 4-5 star restaurants this was the only Authentic Mexican place…read more It's in the back of a Mexican Grocer, so it was quite a surprise! They are a full-service dine-in restaurant, as opposed to a taqueria that we were expected based on the photos. But at the end of the day, it does amount to an insanely overpriced taqueria. $4 tacos when we're used to paying $2.50-3 in Minneapolis, and alambre for $14.99 when we're used to paying $8.99. A bottle of Jarritos is $2.50. Service is glacial, but very attentive and thorough. You do get free chips and salsa. We got Alambre with al Pastor (this choice was not on the menu, they were great. It's a different style than we're used to, skipping the pineapple and ham, but they were very good. The Al Pastor was very legit. This Alambre came with 4 tortillas, and being that we usually share Alambre, we order a pack of 4 extra for an extra $1.50. The kids quesadilla meal was an insane deal. The quesadilla was adult size, and it came with a full side of beans, a side salad, and a whole order of fries. Our total bill with tax and tip came to just under $30. All in all to find this place while being in Eau Claire was a win. If as in the Twin Cities I would have given four stars, losing a star for insane prices. But they seem to be the only authentic Mexican spot around. Due to the big portions, we had leftovers to boot. So if you're hankering for real Mexican and don't want the typical hamburger/pub joints, or the fake Mexican food, this is your stop.
