El Encanto is a restaurant known for its good food, drinks, and friendly service. The fish tacos and spaghetti western cocktail are highly recommended. The restaurant is located near Lake Washington at Carillon Point, offering beautiful views, especially from the patio. Many customers enjoy sitting outside for the scenery, though the patio furniture can be stained and lumpy, making it less inviting. The restaurant has a lively, Mexican-themed remodel that has made the atmosphere louder, which might be a downside for those seeking quiet. Service staff are friendly and competent, but some customers have experienced longer wait times for their food, even with reservations. One server kept checking on diners and apologized for delays, though there was an incident with spilled water that could have been handled better. Parking validation is limited to two hours of free parking. Overall, despite some inconveniences like wait times and noisy surroundings, the excellent cuisine and views encourage customers to return, making it a good choice for a fun outing or happy hour with friends.
