The al pastor and carne asada tacos were standout favorites, and the carne asada quesadilla did not disappoint--so flavorful and satisfying. I also loved the salsa bar (great variety and heat levels) and the drinks were refreshing and well-made. On top of it all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving great tacos!

The truck itself looks different now, and unlike before, there were no prices posted outside, which was a red flag. The green sauce had an off texture. The tortillas were still good, but they were out of key meats like asada and cabeza, and no one could explain why. That left me ordering chicken (which was bland), pastor, and lengua--which ended up being tough. Overall, the experience was disappointing compared to what it used to be. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Wasn't over fried and came with a little salad. Michelada- they have a unique flavor and were not messy to drink. Honestly, one of the best I've had in a while. I absolutely love that they had caguamas (32 oz beers) Moises, owner, was amazing and provided the Kora hospitality. We closed down the spot and were not rushing us to leave. Omar, waiter, was also very attentive to us and provided excellent service. He came around many times to meet our needs. I will come back to try the pescado zarandeado (on the weekend).

The salsa is pretty spicy but good. We ordered the Carne Asada tacos, which by the way, the tortillas were delicious. The size of the tortilla is actually pretty big.

The waitress were pretty nice although when it came down to pay, they seemed a bit overwhelmed and stressed. Overall good experience.

My experience visiting Encanto Mestizo with my family turned out quite good. This place is pretty…read moreclean, so there was enough room for all of us to relax. The menu features various dishes, including cheeseburger, DRAGON sushi, rib eye, and even tacos de pescado, ensuring everyone finds something enjoyable to eat. The quality of the dishes is acceptable: neither very tasty nor very unappetizing. As far as prices go, I would say they were reasonable considering the amount of food provided. However, one downside of this restaurant worth pointing out is that portions here are relatively small. Therefore, if you come here with your whole family, better make sure you're not too hungry since the portions won't be sufficient to feed everyone. To sum up, I think this is a great option if you are looking for a clean place where you can have a nice lunch or dinner and try different dishes. The service was somewhat slow. Even though the restaurant wasn't crowded, it did take some time to get seated. Moreover once we had placed our order it again took time for the food to arrive. However the food was still fresh.

Just happened to drop in on a Thursday Happy Hour so Sushi Rolls were 50% off. It was not busy being the early middle part of rush hour on the road. Was greeted and seated quick. The whole menu looks so exciting though the prices are a bit high, made it hard to decide what to try. I opted to try sushi this time around since I was solo. Rolls were good portioned not skimpy but I would opt for lighter rice if possible if planning to eat plenty. Sister Sister Roll came first. Sauce or onions or both combined made a strong bitter taste but good. The Albacore from top tasted good alone while the roll itself was good. Very often when I try latino fusion sushi the rice gets too sweetened or not at all. The rice tasted not sweetened but seasoned enough and still slightly warm with good texture. I believe they may have used some proper sushi rice here rather than just any rice. Then came the Agua Chile and Mango Habanero Roll. All three rolls came well garnished accordingly, maybe even heavy. Agua Chile had a fresh tart taste. Mango Roll was strong with the sweetness as good mango should. Server was frequent in checking on me, refilled my water before I even had to ask. No appetite for dessert this time around as I was on an empty stomach. The room had Latino music playing and multiple TVs. Elegant Decor without feeling too upscale. Definitely come with an appetite and another person. More to come after I try some entrees and cocktails.

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...
