This place it just to be one of my favorites but it got very bad the food was very salty and not done right it's got beautiful view maybe a drink to see the sun set read more

Excellent location, excellent service, and most important, excellent food. Pricing is very appropriate for this type of food, and ambiance is awesome. The coastal view is at minimum breathtaking, and no seat is a bad one. It can get pretty cold outside when the surf is up, as waves may crash onto your table if you sit nearest to the ocean. A very nice place for that special someone in your life to spend a nice day/evening by the ocean. A++ read more

Terrible experience tonight. Super rude waiter, skinny short guy (Carlos?) thought it would be ok to insult me, argue with me and try to embarass me. I was relaxing alone and ordered camerones al mojo de ajo. Soon I was brought 2 plates from someone not my waiter and said no its just me. The guy took the 2cd plate away no issue and I started to enjoy my food. A few minutes later my waiter comes back with the 2cd plate and said you ordered 2 plates. I sort of laughed and said no I didnt. It's just me. He said you told me in Spanish dos platos. Puts the plate on the table and walks away. I yelled out excuse me and he ignored me and left. The issue started to stew in my mind because he was so cavalier and arrogant in his attitude. I quickly finished my plate, left the table and went to the manager. She had him come to the front and he told her 2 plates. I said no, 1 plate. He turns and looks at me and says "you need to learn better Spanish". Same arrogant attitude, argumentative. I gave him a few words, he walked away. Ultimately the other waiters who were very nice calmed me down. The manager did the right thing and didn't try to make me pay for the extra order. She resolved it but had no interest in apologizing, no empathy, no words for the rude waiter. My previous experiences here had been great. Not sure what change. Are these entitled employees the children of the owners? Amazing they wanted to make this my fault. Won't be back and thanks for ruining my night after a very difficult week read more

Great food with nice local owners who work hard to keep this beautiful place authentic. Food is very good, but the views are breathtaking. If you're ever out this way, make the stop, you will not be disappointed. read more

We go to Encanto fairly frequently, as we enjoy the ambiance, the food, and the service. THE AMBIANCE: sitting right on the cliffs, the view from inside is good, but from outside, it's stupendous, especially when there's a storm out at sea and the waves get a bit unruly! Inside, the best seat on a cold winter evening is right by the fire, which is a large, open affair with a generous serving of firewood. If you're immune to the elements, then the outside patio--which boasts a new four-sided fireplace--is just right. If you get too cold, ask your waiter for a blanket, which is just the ticket. Do be careful during high tides when there's a storm out to sea, as you risk a perfect drenching! THE SERVICE: We prefer to dine at a leisurely pace without being rushed, and that's exactly what we get at Encanto. I am one of the slowest eaters in the universe, and my husband will take your arm off if you try to clear the table before everyone at the table is done! It's not an issue here. If you want fast, American-style service where your plate is cleared before you've had your last bite, I'm sure they'd be happy to accommodate you. But I do highly recommend a slower pace! I've found the waitrons to be particularly friendly and helpful, and if your Spanish isn't up to snuff, just about everyone speaks English. The bartender is excellent, and Hugo, our favourite waiter, is a wealth of information for new-comers to Baja! The chef has come out on a couple of occasions to consult on our dishes and has been patient with this old cook and my meddlesome requests! (A splash of white wine to finish the molcajete? Why not!?) THE FOOD: Of the entrées, I like the guacamole, the toasted cheese, and the ceviche. Of the main courses, I'll admit that I haven't delved into the pasta or salads. We make our own pasta, so we're fairly difficult to please in that arena. :\ Sometimes, we'll stop in on our way from the States for a quick margarita and their scrumptious tortilla soup. The whole fish is super (reminiscent of my husband's native Tel Aviv), with a nice crisp crust and tender white flesh--plenty for two. I'm fond of the molcajete (again, enough to split), but I also like the shrimp dishes. I've had the lobster twice, and it was a wee bit tough, but that's been my experience everywhere down here, so I suspect the blame should be placed at the source. Excluding taco stands (Tacos Richie comes immediately to mind!) and the Valle, Encanto is our favourite go-to place. read more

Beautiful views from the restaurant & deck. Fireplaces and a lovely staff to keep you comfortable. I really enjoyed the food & excited to try Brunch!! read more

Sorry, but there are a lot of beautiful and breath taking places in Rosarito,so the venue will not be taken into consideration, as the most beautiful place. There is no hostess to sit you, so you must find a place to sit yourselves. We went to the patio outside and found some nice tables next to the wall adjacent to the ocean. The tables were wet and the people sitting nearby let us know that the waves come strong and we will get wet. (There wasn't any notice alerting us.). We went back inside as there wasn't any tables available outside of the splash zone . We found a table, but there were only 5 seats and there was no waiter available to bring another chair, so I went to an empty table to grab a chair. We sat and did not make a big deal about it. We waited about 10 minutes and no one came to our service, so my wife got up to get the menus as everyone was hungry and we really wanted to try the place. My kids ordered fettuccini Alfredo- sauce was too watery and weak in taste. They also ordered "queso fundido" (melted cheese). It appeared to have been watered down with extra cheese and was a little gritty, they barely touched it. (1 out of 5*). My friend ordered "aguachiles " (raw shrimp dresses over very spicy lemon juice and onion /cucumber/ cilantro), but they arrived as if was over cooked,dry, hard, not spicy, accompanied by small shrimps, which came inside a molcajete filled with onions, cucumbers and again very little shrimp. She rated it 0 out of 5 stars. Her husband had arrachera steak. He liked it. Gave it 5/5. My wife ordered "special molcajete" ( sautéd seafood and grilled steak, served inside a molcajet e). She rated it 3/5 as all seafood was over cooked, a little dry and hard. I had the whole fish topped with shrimp and octopus. It came with Mexican rice and very salty bacon refried beans. Fish was definitely too small maybe 3/4 lb and there was exactly 3 medium sized shrimps with 6 thinly sliced penny sized octopus. I ate it as I was very hungry. The corn tortillas were machine made and the only good thing about them was that they were freshly made, but not the great artisan type, but only white and thin that got cold rapidly, making them stiff and crusted peripheral sides. They do not have any good home made sauce. They had the Chinese hot oil to accompany Mexican food, which doesn't belong with the fish at all! They also had green blended Serranos with OIL! "Why oil?" I asked the waiter NAUN(Na-oon-) " that's their recipe ". No other sauce was available, except for a red one that contained canned tomatoes- sweet tangy and unsavory. He offered bottled sauce . Lemonade was ok, a little sour. Virgin Bloody Mary for my friend was inconsistent in making, as she ordered a second one that was tasteless. We aren't planning to come back. Marisco "el negro" is so far our favorite place to dine, inside north Rosarito over the freeway, highly recommend. This restaurant did not exceed nor reach our expectations. read more

What an amazing gem we found! The service was amazing, everyone seemed to be bilingual and the staff was attentive, prompt and kind with us; the view of this place is beautiful, we even saw a mama dolphin and her baby while we were eating! We have been recommending this place to all our friends and family and I'm looking forward to go once we travel to Baja California again. read more

The service was very good. Aguachiles were delicious nice and spicy as they should be. We were 5 adults 5 kids ordered 2 parriladas; we ended up take a lot of food home. That tray was huge! Wonderful views 10/10 would recommend at least for the waterfront experience read more

Don't waste your time going to Splash. Go to Encanto instead. The molcajetes are incredible. Delicious cocktails. Try the tamarindo margarita. The view is gorgeous. The service is above average. The restaurant is rustic and very cute. read more

What a view and what a restaurant. Really enjoyed the food and the price was reasonable.

A truly beautiful spot with an amazing views and decor! We had brunch there with our kids and all found something we liked. The only thing I take a star away for is that the food took longer than expected and the bathrooms weren't the cleanest. We still had a great time. Big tip ITS CASH ONLY, be prepared. read more

My new favorite restaurant in Baja. Amazing views, food and super friendly staff. Bring cash!! They don't accept credits cards.

Location and setting is awesome. The food is another story hit or miss, sometimes good sometimes just so so. Today we ordered lobster at $25 a plate. Is was ok however tails were like large shrimp. Usually there offer of a another half to offset the small sizes. We mentioned this to the waiter and he just ignored us. Many tourist here, so seems like they just down care. The soup was cold. Had them go reheat the soup up and it can back colder. Splash next door offers a much better value of food and service. My 2 cents. I will say Encantos green Salsa is the best I have ever had. read more

Although the view and atmosphere inside the restaurant were very nice the food did not match at all. I love seafood and by not adding much flavor into the food disappointed me. My family ordered the Mariscada and the lobster, fish, octopus, and even the tortilla chips were not seasoned as they should be. However, they were able to perfect my favorite dish, shrimp, which turned out juicy and succulent. This is a great family spot however the food was not near as equivalent as the atmosphere and staff. read more

Location - unbelievable! Food - awesome! Service - very personal! Just love this place - even though I got drenched with a wave :)

Beautiful view!!! Food is ok, takes a long time though and the waiters forget what you order sometimes

Place was nice. My group arrived about 7p for dinner. The frustrating and negative comment I have for this place is they do not take credit cards. This was mentioned at the end of our dinner couple hundred$ latter. I was upset it was not brought up as we were seated since I did not have enough cash or pesos left to cover the bill on me. More upset that the cash only business was not mentioned when my large group was seated. They indicated the 8"x 11" sign outside (not in sight) it was posted in front. I had to find the small thing with 1" letters indicating cash only....prices are American rates. It was the last thing I needed on my last day in Mexico. They directed me to an ATM 20 min away. At 9p. To do this big loop was an inconvenience. I suggest this staff should mentioned the cash only business when seating guest OR make the sign visible at the MAIN entrance. read more

We LOVE Encanto. We have been 3 times - for our wedding anniversary, a friend's wedding celebration, and my wife's 30th birthday, and it is solidly our favorite spot in Baja. The service is so friendly and warm, and the food is amazing. Seafood is super fresh and killer margaritas. Great happy hour as well! We happily trek down from San Diego just for Encanto. read more

Horrible service. We were seated for about 20 minutes before being attended. Our ceviche appetizer arrived after our main dishes and my sangria tasted like punch. Not visiting again. read more
