    Today I visited this restaurant, and on Mondays they offer 50% off everything. It was definitely worth it. The décor was really nice, the service was great, and the food was excellent. I would absolutely go back again. It's a little hidden gem, and I wish Sylmar had more places like this. My suggestion would be to incorporate a salsa afternoon on a Sunday and add Caribbean-inspired sushi to the menu. If you need help, I can help you! I am of Puerto Rican decent and a great cook.

    Look how loaded this is!

    I've been on a quest to find good mole. I've tried almost every Mexican restaurant in the San Fernando Valley and everyone was mediocre at best. Then I found Encanto Mestizo. This place knows what they are doing! I ordered their chicken mole enchiladas and I'm now obsessed. They do something most places don't, the chicken inside the enchiladas is seasoned! No plain, unseasoned chicken meat. Then they smother them in their rich, thick, delicious mole sauce. I mean the flavor of the sauce is incredible. There's a tiny kick to the sauce, not too spicy, just enough to make them perfect. Oh, and there's tons of chicken in each enchilada. Very generous portion. I'm so happy to have found this gem, I can't wait to try other dishes. For now, I'm thrilled with their chicken mole enchiladas. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Oh and the customer service is amazing. Jessica is the best!

    New spot in Sylmar, definitely worth checking out. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful! Will be coming back, they have a nice bar area as well. Definitely catching a dodger game here soon.

    Branzino Fish

    Encanto Mestizo is a new place in Sylmar with some great menu offerings. Inside looked like a mix between a late night lounge and daytime sports bar. Lots of TVs for when a game is on and dark low lighting for a more relaxed dinner. The branzino plate was very good and seasoned nicely. The chili relleno was good too. Served with arugula on top and a mild sauce. I prefer a little more heat on my sauce but it was delicious. We also split a Caesar salad which was a good size. They were still pending their liquor license but it looked like they have a bar built out when that happens. Service was ok. Our waitress was friendly and nice but our appetizer did not come out and our main entree was served first. Then she asked if we wanted it but we canceled it since it was the appetizer. They could offer more beverages selections too in my opinion. I think they are off to a good start and after some improvements this could be a great local spot.

    Food was delicious. I ordered the chicken mole. I must say very impressed. We ordered margaritas also very good. As appetizers, we ordered the oysters. Definitely give this place a ten out of ten. Food, drinks and ambiance are great.

    Aguachile roll

    The restaurant was hard to find based on the navigation link. However, once I got there, the stuff was friendly un approached me quickly, bringing over chips and salsa, and a cup of water. they gave me enough time to look over the menu and I made recommendations when I asked. It was a football day, so one side of the restaurant was packed with people having a great time and the other side was a bit more quiet, but everyone seemed to be having a great time and there was not the feeling of anyone being too loud. The food was good, especially the aguachile roll. It was flavorful and spicy. The sister sister roll was a little bit dry. The restaurant was clean and so was the bathroom even with several customers in the restaurant.

    As someone who loves Mexican food and as someone who is asian I love this place it my to go place to eat, the food here is amazing fresh and the staff members are very nice, the dishes are well done. The place is very nice and clean and the bathroom are so clean and cute too perfect for a cute bathroom pic for instagram. I bought some of my friends here for lunch before and all of them say that the food is amazing and delicious. I really enjoyed being here, so if your in the valley or live is Sylmar I really recommend this place, perfect for hanging out with friends or with colleges work coworkers or just a place to have a romantic dinner. This is the place for all of those things.

    Salmon Carpaccio with mango salsa
    Jacinda M.

    I'm so excited to have a fine dining option in Sylmar. The space is open and large enough to have live performances of they choose. Service was attentive but not annoying and the chef came out to check on us! Now the food: Salmon Crudo was my favorite, mango salsa balanced the salmon perfectly. Crispy octopus was a close second, marinated and fried, not rubbery at all. I think the cauliflower puree could have been replaced with some kind of chimichurri for a better pairing. Banana bread pudding was caramelized with rich vanilla ice cream and burnt sugar sauce. Definitely a meal you could get at Odyssey or Castaway!

    Fried chicken
    Jose Luis A.

    The food here is good enough, with generous portions at fair prices. The atmosphere has an upscale, adult vibe that still feels relaxed enough for families, and the kids menu has enough solid options to keep everyone happy. Fried Chicken Crispy, well-seasoned, and generously plated with fried herbs and a creamy dipping sauce. Solid comfort food done with care. Baby Back Ribs & Yuca Great presentation with a glossy glaze on the ribs, tender enough, paired with fried yuca for a nice twist. Sweet-savory flavors balanced well. The service was tentative and ready. Overall, it's a step above typical bar food without feeling overpriced or too fancy. Would come back for sure.

    Tuna tartare was solid

    Stumbled on this spot for lunch and was really impressed. Big, clean place with tons of TVs and excellent service. The 50% off Mondays and 1-5pm happy hour definitely caught our attention. Tried a few dishes Chicken Enchiladas - 5/10: Tortilla was soggy, chicken was just okay. Wouldn't order again. Tuna Tartare - 7/10 (with black hot sauce): Decent once it had some kick. Skirt Steak - 9/10: Juicy, tender, great flavor. Cuban Dragon Roll - 10/10: Shrimp, eel, plantain... amazing. Easily the best thing we had. Sylmar doesn't have many food options, so this was a great find. Already told my friends. Definitely coming back & hopefully that Monday deal sticks around!

    Cóctel de camarón

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. Today i walked in to grab some lunch. The restaurant is bigger than I expected. There was only a few patrons dining inside. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server gave us our menus and came back to take our drink order. She then took our order. Our food order came out really fast. The food was very good and tasty. I'd definitely be coming back.

    Squishing

    Great food and drinks. You can even go and study. They just made a new mocktail menu, the drinks are super good and refreshing. Definitely my new go to and a hidden gem in the valley

    Enjoying the octopus and kids pasta. Big servings btw.

    This place came up on my feed or list of recommendations. Looked interesting since I've lived in…read moreSan Fernando all my life and havent heard of this spot. So I checked it out. Small place and only serving a very select few menu items during the week. Weekends is when there are more options / full menu. I got 2 pork tamales, 1 chicharron taco and 1 carnitas taco con todo. The carnitas by themself are decently cooked. The taco is served in a handmade tortilla that is super thick and dense. Im a fan of these style tortillas being a little more softer than this was. The taste of the masa is on point and great. The salsa that they equip in the taco is hot. Like almost habanero hot. Its almost unpleasant / inedible. The chicharron is just the skin and its smashed up into the salsa and pico de gallo that come with the tacos. Not much going on here and nothing great. Pork tamale was average. The size is on the smaller side or almost average. Carne to masa ratio is good. Masa taste is great. The meat and sauce is umami and deep but still your average flavors for red pork tamales.

    Service is great they treat you humbly and thw prices are reasonable…read more... Now I got three tacos mixed carnitas buche and chicharrón...bomb only finished two they are a good portion...ask them to go light or on the side with their pico de gallo ..freshly made tortillas.... Menudo portion is perfect...bomb!!! Dude the place is super clean and the smell of the freshly made masa damm is so good...only two places to sit and eat....people kept coming and going as I sat there and ate its definitely a hidden local spot ..definitely coming back to get my moms some masa for the tamales
