GET THE STEAK. In all seriousness, the vibe was off the charts. The food was amazing, service was good, the margaritas were delicious (raspberry (frozen) was slapping) The live music was the icing on top of the cake. There was a musician in there who played the acoustic guitar and man oh man every chord and strum of his strings sent me into a tasty, delicious, melodic experience. I have my bachelors in music performance and this was a performance for the tastebuds and honestly all the senses to be experienced by all far and wide.
Surprised, & thrilled at this local spot. Has an old territorial Arizona feel and a great outdoor patio area looking out on a lush garden view/ wedding area. Then, they serve Phoenix' best house margaritas (same as El Encanto's in Cave Creek, of course). So, while we used to drive down to El Encanto in Cave Creek, we're switching it up for Dos!
I’m down from Alaska and my sister took me to this wonderful Mexican restaurant! Very friendly and helpful staff with delicious food and drinks. The place was clean and not very many people (we went at lunchtime) so if your look for a restaurant that’s not packed with people and a waiting line this would be my choice! I loved the outside looks of this place with the little brook with waterfall in the front! Bring your friends and family to this cozy restaurant!
Very good food. I had the cheese jalapeño relleno and my friend had Pollo fundido. Both were great. Also got the dessert chimis with mint chocolate chip ice cream... fantastic! Servers are attentive too. We sat inside but it looks like they have plenty of seating on their patio.
Came here for dinner with my grandparents, staff were great with my grandparents and the food, of course, was amazing. I grew up in AZ but live in Upstate NY now and boy or boy did I miss good Mexican food! Will definitely be back next time I visit!
We've been to the other location in Cave Creek for many years, but this new find is fabulous! We love it and it's outstanding vibe. Excellent service and everyone's food was outstanding. We'll be back again and again.
Food was out of this world!!!! Best food I ever ate. I would definitely come back in the future. Everyone was great but McKenna was amazing was the best waitress I ever met. She's had an amazing personality, great sense of humor and kept checking up to see how the the food was and if we needed anything. She's very polite. I highly recommend this restaurant 10/10 . This restaurant would make you feel like home. It's a place you must go to. If you come to this restaurant McKenna would take very good care of you.

I've been coming here for years! However, a friend of mine and I got dinner here and it was his first time trying out El Encanto Dos. I had arrived early and let our server know he doesn't like spicy much before he arrived, and if she wanted to give him some recommendations when he did arrive I'd appreciate it. Figuring it'd be just the typical excellent experience I'm used to here, he arrived, and she specifically recommended dishes that weren't too spicy but were amazing, including her favorite! She always made sure we were well taken care of, and never once did we have to ask for anything, including more iced tea! She was totally on it! I forget her name, but she was the blonde one, hair in a ponytail, and literally just so present in the moment with my friend and I, I'll never forget how kind and sweet and amazing she was! I told the manager to give her a raise times two, because he came by to check on us too! Because of the nice young lady who was our server, anybody I host who visits from out of town, or even to grab dinner with a friend, El Encanto Dos just became my top spot to choose to go! I always get the plato burro with vegetables, literally my fave. Thank you!
We went to a wedding in the garden and it was gorgeous! The atmosphere, food, and service were all top notch. If I did not live 2+ hours away this would be my regular dinner out - the food was spectacular.
Great food and pretty setting. My go to is usually the tamales. Also tried their fried ice cream which was also very good. Love the chips served with 3 different salsas. Frozen strawberry margarita was strong lol
