Beautiful place, Insta worthy for pics and the food - WOW. Innovative menu with interesting flavor twists. We had the Surf and Turf and although they say it feeds 2-3, our group of 4 was plenty full. The ambiance is amazing, there is a cute red heart - -and it was such a fun evening. read more

Friendly staff, decent food, and good atmosphere. Although they could really use a change in the music they play lol

Beautiful spot. Too bad was my second meal in Tulum and the octopus they served me gave me food poisoning: two days in bed... what can I say? Don't eat the fish... read more

Great bar right on the main strip. Drinks are priced well and well. We did some Mezcal shots and had a Deon which was right on point. Clean bathrooms and like all of Tulum , very mixed crowd. This was by far one of the cleaner and well kept spots that we went to. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a drink.. I honestly wish I had drank less that night so I could go more into detail. read more

A delicious mix of old and new mexican flavors with unique specialty dishes like the stuffed chile pepper: The perfect mix of fruit, nuts, fresh chile and slightly indulgent white cream sauce... Mmmmm you feel naughty and nice eating this dish... If you are daring try the seafood version. The complementary pumpkin salsa is special and addicting. No seriously. It is amazing. Fish ceviche: more flavorful than any. Also the octopus is ridiculously good too. They will tell you it's one of the house specials. And the mezcal platanos for dessert... Yes I'll say it: sinfully delicious! read more

I just got back from Mexico and this place is an absolute necessity if you're in Tulum. The service was excellent, the patio is quaint and beautiful, with tons of plants and tea light candles for mood lighting at night. The ambiance alone was enough to create a great experience. We weren't starving, so we ordered some appetizers and cocktails. My husband had the bourbon/grapefruit drink and absolutely loved it. I have no idea what I had, because I asked the server to have the bartender make me some sort of delicious concoction, but it did NOT disappoint (orange, mint and some other things that my palate wasn't fancy enough to decipher). As for food, we started with guacamole (SO FRESH) and tortilla chips. Then, we ordered the hot wings and they were literally the best wings I've ever had in my life. The meat was smoked and fell off the bone. The hot sauce tasted homemade, but still like good ol' regular hot sauce. Seriously, I will be raving about this place for years to come. If you find yourself in Tulum, do yourself a favour and stop by! read more

This place is awesome. We went on a Sunday, and loved it. They had live music from a local band, which was pretty cool. Food and drinks were very good. Portions were definitely fair, but I loved the fact that you could actually order a few items, and not commit to one big meal. If you happen to be in Tulum, make sure you stop by. read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here in the back garden style dining area. The food was all really good and we devoured most of it. I would definitely return. I loved the inventive flavours and am now obsessed with fried hibiscus flowers. read more

If you looove Korean food like me, you must must MUST try the seafood stew at Encanta Cantina before leaving Tulum. Drinks here are also excellent (and very strong!) and their stuffed pepper tacos were amazing. read more

This is one of the more expensive restaurants in town. But that because you can get tacos 2x$1... But the food quality and menu creativity make it worth it! The garden setting is gorgous! read more

Ask for Rodrigo!!! He's a great server and his English is good! He took a photo shoot for us as well!!!

Ambiance is top knotch. Beautiful back patio and instagram worthy decor. Unfortunately the food just did not hit the spot. The table salsa was so weak, flavorless, really foreshadowed the rest of the meal. Unfortunate! read more

This place was AMAZING! One of my favorite restaurants ever. Once you walk into the back you will know you made an excellent choice, the ambience and music is done so well! We had the veggie fried rice, fish tacos and pizza and it was all delicious. We tried several cocktails and those too were equally amazing! If you were to eat here on the beach side of Tulum it would cost you an arm and a leg but it was so reasonably priced; we will definitely be returning before our vacation ends. read more

i'd been looking forward to coming here unfortunately every meal we ordered was tasteless. i had to ask to have the guacamole be remade and that should have been a clue that the rest would not go well. the steak was gray and lacked all flavor the octopus tacos were flavorless as well. just avoid this place. just walk by and look at the pretty heart and keep going because this place is anything but an encanto. read more

Wow! After a fun walk in downtown Tulum we stumbled across this place and the ambience was incredible! Hidden lighting and warm candle light guide you into an open-air outdoor seating behind the bar, the staff were incredibly friendly and even spoke English quite well. The food was outstanding, 6 types of tacos for 20 pesos each! With 3 in our party we had a constant rotation of plates trying everything on the table. Mixed drinks were at the same level. We even spotted an armadillo wandering around the far back! I highly recommend checking this place out next time you're in Tulum! read more

Great food, although need more salsa and staff. Banging cocktails and promotional offers. Everyone is doing this barcode menu thingy which isn't to my personal liking. Encourages people to be on their phones. I think everyone in the restaurant was on their phone at one point. Would go again though :) read more

Super cool space. You walk back to a hidden gem of a garden dining room in the back. It is SUPER dark. The service was very slow when we were there. Food was delicious but they brought our appetizers & entrees at the same time.They had great 2 for 1 drink specials. read more

My biggest issue with paying for pricey food is that my expectations won't leave me upset about paying the bill. I have no problem forking over money when I'm impressed or satisfied with the food and service. We had an arrachera quesadilla, a nopales salad, the pastor camarones, and a margarita. The best items was the margarita. The quesadillas were fine. The camarones dish weren't really "al pastor" style. They were bland and in a bed of sweet potatoe like cream. 310 pesos for 9 shrimp. The salad wasn't flavorful either. It was difficult to eat due to the way it was prepared, in large cuts. When I cook better or can get better food in the U.S. for the same 1price, that pisses me off. It may not be beachside prices, but still enough to keep a business going. 2 stars for the ambiance, service, and drink. I'm going to the taco stand around the corner for redemption. read more

Food was horrible and EXPENSIVE. this was the worst meal we had in tulum...my husband and I didn't even want to finish the tacos. Giving two stars for the drinks and the ambiance. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

This is a very romantic lovely beautiful friendly restaurant on the Tulum strip (not the beach strip). They have gorgeous drinks, a garden where they burn the smokey copal bark, the staff is so sweet... I have food allergies and they were so accommodating. They actually made me something special not on the menu that I could eat. I felt safe and taken care of. Also it's great to bring people who eat everything. Their food is lovingly prepared. Everything about this place is thoughtful. I recommend. read more

Had a late night dinner here. Great atmosphere and perfect romantic lighting. A little expensive compared to other places around but the food and service was great. We got there 5 minutes before the kitchen closed & our waiter was still attentive and friendly. read more

The atmosphere is great and the food tops it. We ordered appetizers and tacos. Everything we ordered was so delicious. The food prices were not outrageous. The bar is full service and they have nice clean restrooms. Must stop if dining in. read more

This restaurant is so deserving of 5 stars. From atmosphere to music to staff to presentation to flavor. It's everything a restaurant should strive to be. I can't believe this hidden gem is in downtown Tulum. If you don't go here, I promise you your missing out!! Should you stumble across a restaurant comparable in the USA you would be paying at least 5 times as much. Honestly, I wish I can take this restaurant back home!! Now, go!! Andale!!! read more

Came here and found no hostess to seat us. Finally someone sat us only for our drink order to be taken very quickly but then........no drinks came and no server. We sat for 20 minutes and watched the staff walk around, help other guests. We made eye contact and called them over. Nothing. Finally we get someone's attention only for them to tell us this is not their table. Of course we left, terrible service. And to top it off, it was my birthday. read more

Me encanta Encanto Cantina!! lovelovelove. We were staying in the hotel district, and when we decided we wanted to venture into downtown for dinner with the short cab ride required, I looked up a good place on Yelp for Mexican food at a place that wouldn't be too intimidated for a couple of gringos like us who don't really speak español but also was authentic enough to not feel like a tourist trap. This place has excellent reviews as you see on Yelp, but at the front desk of our hotel, the concierge actually insisted we wouldn't like this place and recommended somewhere else (La Mal Querida). I thought I would follow that plan but when we got downtown, it turns out we *had already* been to Querida and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't what we were looking for. We walked the ways down to track down this place and everything was *amazing* from then on. The ambiance is awesome. Beautiful outdoor seating in the back if you want romance, however me and my man sat at the bar, which is still pretty much open air as well. Locals were enjoying an American football game on the TV which is funny because it was our home team (Patriots). The music was spot-on for our tastes, interesting Mexican indie electronic stuff. And the food. OH MY GAWD. Incredible. Get everything. The quesadillas, tacos, anything with shrimp. Oh and their cocktails are artisanal, unique, amazing. I recommend asking the bartender for a good tasting mezcal. read more

I rely heavily on Yelp when traveling and needed a recommendation for salmon. Since this place was highly recommended I decided to try it. Just like everywhere else I've been, the vibe and atmosphere were amazing; candles, music, chill and relaxing. I ordered the grilled salmon and it came out perfectly seasoned, just the right temperature and the sides of plaintain and sweet potatoes perfectly complimented the juicy fish. It was beautifully presented and was fun to eat! I opted for the back patio outdoors and fortunately sat under a fan. The server was attentive and wonderful, other patrons were friendly and I will definitely return to this spot. There is a great variety of people here - I left just as the live music was beginning and the band was great! read more

Best meal we had in Tulum and it was a total surprise. The Mezcal Shrimp and Mole Chicken are outstanding. Even better, the margaritas are 2 for 1 from 6-9 daily. read more

Everything we ordered was a 10! Cocktails were unique and tasty. Not to mention the outside patio we were seated at, the vibe was perfect.

Amazing music, great atmosphere, superb drinks, and incredibly friendly bartenders. We had a perfect experience here, highly recommended.

Food: 4.5 Decor: 4.5 Ambiance: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4.5 I picked this placed from off of Yelp after a couple of sub-par meals in Tulum. We were glad that I did. This place was fantastic. Finally had the atmosphere we were looking for in Tulum, and the food to match. Somehow, this also ended up being a cheaper meal than others we had in Tulum as well. We will definitely be returning next trip. read more

Beautiful setting, great service, awesome cocktails. After ordering two special dishes, waiter suggested the 'tapas' type platter with three small versions, plus rice, salad, potatoes. It was really good, but way too much food (also $900 pesos.) Pastor shrimps and octopus were tops read more

Best food we've had in Tulum! Friends said the seafood was great, but I had the beef filet with beer sauce and don't regret it! Don't miss the appetizers. I'm pretty sure we ordered them all and heard only good things. We had like 10 people and they easily accommodated us in the back with candles and moonlight. Ask for a habanero margarita! read more
