“I came for lunch and was so in awe of individually hand painted booths. Take the time look around, you feel like you are in a gallery of Mexican history. I asked Grace for a recommendation and ordered a #1 Birria. Perfectly prepared, and moderately spicy, it was very filling. I also added a Birria Ramon, to go, for my sister. She loved it!!! The family has a wonderful authentic restaurant concept, one meal at a time.”

“Ok, I know I should have known better but evenings (8:30 pm) are a Latin disco fest with music videos and slightly loud music. The food it traditional and delicious and they offer bucket discounts for beers. Either way, don’t believe the Google reviews saying the price is $100+ As we grabbed to entries for $28 total. It was a bit to loud after our day, otherwise we would have hung out in the outdoor area.”

“I went to Crisp and Juicy on April 23rd, in the evening alone. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a long time, so I was a little indecisive on what I wanted. The young lady that was at the register was as sweet as could be, and I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I wanted to order a platter for 2, and asked what her recommendation was to feed 2 people. So, I ordered what she recommended, and asked for a lot of sauce. The order came up quick, and I thanked her. Bless her. She gave me so much sauce. I just wanted everyone to know how much this impacted my evening, because my oldest daughter Ayanna loved your restaurant! She was murdered in 2020. She was 18 years old. This small act really touched my heart. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰”

“I called El Encanto to place an order, and from the start, the service was outstanding. The lady who answered the phone was incredibly helpful, especially since their menu offers so many options. When I arrived to pick up my order, I noticed how clean and welcoming the place was. The customer service was a perfect 10/10—everyone was lovely and attentive. I wasn’t sure what drink to choose, and the lady recommended one that turned out to be absolutely delicious. As for the food, I ordered the Pupusas Locas, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were amazing, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Overall, El Encanto lives up to its name—it’s truly enchanting. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!”
