    Two meat combo
    Harris L.

    Definitely a 5/5... great and healthier alternative to your classic fried drunk food that makes you feel terrible the following morning. The two meat combo was fuvking amazing, definitely get the picanha and asado for the choices of meats. Forgot got the server's name, but he held up the energy and made sure we were able to watch all ongoing World Cup games. Will definitely be back love y'all!!!

    Great little restaurant. Meat is delicious, well seasoned, and well cooked. Free parking inside which is a big plus for K-town. Go get Yeems coffee across the street after. You're welcome.

    Cheese bread

    Asado Pocha is one of those places that completely surprises you--in the best way. First off, this is not your typical pocha. For context, a pocha in Korean is basically a casual bar, usually serving comfort food and drinks. But this spot flips the script in such a unique way--it's a Korean bar serving Latin American food, specifically asados (grilled meats). And somehow, it just works. The grilled meats are solid, but what you absolutely cannot skip are the cheese breads. They're ridiculously good--warm, soft, and addictive. If you're coming with someone, just get a regular combo and call it a day. You really can't go wrong. The space itself is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but that's part of the charm. It's not polished or refined--instead, it feels homey, like you're just hanging out at a friend's spot. The owner adds so much personality to the place. He's a friendly Korean guy who speaks Spanish and clearly loves sports--especially football and baseball. The walls are covered in sports memorabilia, and honestly, this might be one of the best low-key spots to catch a baseball game. And let's be real--free parking in Koreatown? That alone is a win. They've got parking in the back, which makes coming here so much easier. Overall, if you're looking for something different, cozy, and full of character, this place is it. It's not about being fancy--it's about good food, good vibes, and a genuinely unique experience.

    The service was excellent from start to finish, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying a meal. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place!

    Went to this new spot last night for dinner. We ordered the asada plate and also a chimichurri steak. We also ordered the cheese balls. The service was great. The ambience was nice. It was a corner spot and we got there early. The food was really delicious and our server also gave us a beet salad, which is good too. Cheese balls were delicious also!

    This place is amazing for authentic Latin American BBQ with Korean beer soju and sides. The Asado is bomb and plentiful for the price. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. He gives great service. The ambiance is great with big screen TVs to watch all the sports games especially soccer and baseball. All the memorabilia on the walls are cool to browse and look at. The combo BBQ is a great deal! Highly recommend this spot.

    Lunch special
    Hee K.

    A solid asado place! The place only has a couple of tables inside but it looks cozy and it's got TVs so I think you can catch live games here while dining. I got their lunch special for to-go and everything was great. The meat was juicy and the rice was surprisingly tasty! Good portions too. Got to chat with the owner a little bit and I could tell he was serious about serving good meats and making the place enjoyable for his customers. Definitely check this place out if you want reasonably priced and tasty meat.

    Pichana Plate

    Tried this place for the first time today and really liked it. We were going to get the asado, but one of the staff recommended the pichana and it was a great choice. Super juicy, flavorful, and portion was perfect for two. There was a variety sauces which all paired really well with the meat, and all the sides were really good too. Service was great, everyone working there was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Parking was easy, plenty of spots in the lot in the building (a big plus in Ktown). Definitely coming back to try the asado and empanadas!

    Food and service is the best. They play Dodgers and soccer games. Asado and the cheese rice and balls are the thing to order! Will be back!

    Area

    Came back for dinner. Services is always on point. The ambience is super chill and the best part not including the food would be the owner. Meat was super tender as usual. This time, the combo we ordered also had cheeseballs. Sooo chewy. Definitely would recommend and will come back!

    Love this place so much!! Workers are always so welcoming and considerate. Constantly check up on us without fail. The food is delicious and so flavorful. Really underrated spot and definitely deserves more recognition. Honorable mention- their American pasta is to die for. I love how there's a hint of spice

    Food is always fresh, quick, and absolutely delicious. The service and ambience are top-notch -- you can feel the care and personality in every detail. What started as a little hole-in-the-wall gem in Koreatown has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The more I come here, the more it feels like home. The food is consistently amazing, the vibes are effortlessly chill, and the energy is just right -- whether you're coming with co-workers after a long day, on a casual date night, or even dining solo like a rock star. I recently came with a big group of my best friends for a reunion, and it couldn't have been a better choice. The atmosphere, the music, the laughter, and of course the incredible food made it one of those nights we'll all remember. Good food, good music, good company -- what more could you want? This spot never misses. Huge thanks to 사장님 for keeping the rock-and-roll spirit (and the grill) alive!

    asado plate
    Matthew D.

    this place was awesome!! the owner, robert, was so welcoming and personable! the ambiance felt just like coming to a friends house and yapping over dinner! the cheese balls are SO good, not too heavy but perfectly cheesy. the asado plate is so worth and sharable! my wife and i tore it up 10/10. i think my favorite part was having every bite feel different. the meat was tender, juicy, and paired with the stir fried kimchi, garlic, onions, and even SAUSAGE, it was...... *chef's kiss* not to mention the sauces!! i was starving when we got here and the chips and 3 different kinds of salsa (red, green, and chimichurri) warmed up my palate to the mixture of korean and latin cuisine. p.s. in case you didn't know, robert was the best part of this meal through and through. support local businesses!

It's has a large bar area with natural light that comes in through the windows. They also have a lot of seating. When we walked in we were greeted right away by the host. He asked if we had reservations. We replied with a no. He took a few minutes and the said that he could seat us. He took us to a booth in the corner and then told us that our waiter would be taking care of us soon. He asked us if we wanted anything to drink. We told him water and he brought us some water fairly quickly. Then another person showed up and he told us that they would take care of us the rest of the evening. Our waiter was very friendly and did an excellent job all evening. After looking at the menu we decided what we wanted. We started with the guacamole chips and salsa. The chips were okay. They were lightly seasoned with salt. The guacamole was fresh and the salsas were tasty. I preferred the green salsa as the red salsa was spicier. For my main meal I ordered the Quesadilla filled with skirt steak, pico, avocado, salsa, and crema. The quesadilla was delicious. I've never had a quesadilla like this. It was rolled up and looked like an egg roll. The steak was very tasty with a lot of flavor and the other ingredients were fresh. It was so good. For my side I ordered the rice and beans. The beans were good and had flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked. Combined the rice and beans had flavor and were very filling. Overall Encanto was a very nice restaurant.

Got the guava margarita with Mezcal , which was pretty good! Definite recommend. But then got the Branzino, $48 with nothing with it so $7 for rice & it was a miss. How do you serve fish with no sides? Especially if I'm paying $48. Service was good for our waiter, but the people bringing out the food were a bit rushed - especially on dessert. He literally just put the plate down, poured the sauce and then left in the span of two seconds. Vibe was good if you're coming for an intimate but quiet place -- however considering the price we wouldn't come back. My husband did say the steak fajitas were pretty good but expensive for the price . The quality was good, but the flavor wasn't amazing. Desserts (flan, chocolate cake) were pretty good.

I was a bit shocked that we were the only guests on a busy weekend night but thankfully more showed up before we left. We ordered a couple of Scallops, a Ceviche and two Tostadas. The scallops were okay, nothing to write home about. They were on the small side. The toppings kind of overpowered the scallops so I missed that tender sweetness they are known for. The highlight of the meal was the ceviche. It came bathed in a delicious pineapple based marinade that had the perfect amount of heat. The octopus tostada was delicious but hard to eat. The mound of octopus and veggies was piled so high that we ended up using plain tostadas to spoon on a bite at a time. The kanpachi tostada was just okay, nothing bad but not great. I look forward to returning. Keep in mind that it's pricey but the quality is top notch.

I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and gave me the kind of authentic Latin food vibes that I love. The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.
