    Chilaquiles
    Winta E.

    This place has the best chilaquiles in the city! The service is good and the restaurant is clean and bright. The only reason why I did not give five stars is due to the parking situation. It's valet only and the lot is directly infront of the restaurant and it's an extremely small lot which defeats the purpose of valet.

    I love looking for places to eat when we are in town for work! I came across El Encanto and it truly was the pan dulce and cafe de olla that sold me on the reason our group go here! The interior is beautiful. It's clean and it's give exactly the aesthetic that they promote....Mexico City. The service was great, so hospitable. Like you were enjoying a meal in their home. They had an outdoor area which looked very green and beautiful...the Dallas heat and humidity prevented us from even trying to go out there and enjoy it!! The food was delicious! The pan dulce, the cafe de olla hit the spot just like I was hoping it would! The chorizo torta was perfect...the bread was so soft!! We all enjoyed our meals. It's not a large place for groups unless they move tables together. The parking is interesting. Their own lot has about 6 spots, so when you pull in there is a valet guy that takes your car and parks it somewhere else. We got there in good time because when we were leaving there was a line of cars waiting to get in! I would still go back...breakfast or even dinner!

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday around noonish and was told the wait would be 1 hr 15 min for a table of 4. We decided to wait since we made the drive up to come and actually got our table in 30 min.. the size of the restaurant isn't good for big groups so max I would say would be 6 ppl if u are planning on coming here, unless u split up. Parking is terrible here, they recommend their complementary valet. The food we had was really good. I had the green chilaquiles and a cafe de olla (a little sweeter than the one I'm use to in Mexico) they have fresh Mexican bread they offer as well. The green chilaquiles had a kick, which cleaned my sinuses but they were delicious. Had an order of their pancakes, which were also good. Our food did take a minute to come out but overall it was a good experience. They do have some outside seating. I would come back but maybe during the week.

    I've driven past this restaurant and been intrigued for some time. Unfortunately, their hours are somewhat limited so that had to wait. However, I could tell by the always full parking lot and obvious wait outside that I had good instincts. When my wife and I finally had a free Saturday morning, we jumped at the chance to try it. Know that parking is limited, and while they have a valet to attempt to manage it, it was so busy when we arrived that we just parked around the corner and walked in. True to form, there was a wait (pro tip: use Yelp! to jump in the queue ahead of time), but it was managed well, and the $5 mimosas (featuring FRESH SQUEEZED orange juice) helped pass the time. To our eye, this place is less Tex Mex than CDMX inspired, and I know that matters to some people. When we were seated and I glanced around the room to see that we were the only gringos, my anticipation arose and I told my wife that I couldn't wait to Columbus the hell out of this place. From service to food, it did not disappoint in any way. My chilaquiles with shredded chicken were served atop a crispy corn tortilla (that somehow stayed crispy until the last bite) with the most flavorful sauce. While I like spice, I opted for the milder "red" sauce. I'll go hotter next time with the "green" sauce. My wife's chorizo egg sandwich was similarly epic-the eggs cooked perfectly, the avocado just right, and the chorizo lively but not punishing. TLDR: great, friendly service with excellent food. Go now-you won't regret it!

    I can't say enough great things about this place, everytime i come, the service is amazing, the food is delicious. I feel like I've stepped in Mexico City everytime i come here. To me, it's hard to find a good chilaquiles plate in dfw but this place does it AMAZING. It's a longer wait most times but it's so worth it.

    Almost an hour wait on a Saturday at noon but I think that was mostly bc of rain making the back patio unusable. The menu is limited but whatever they do have is good quality and portion. Very small space so probably not a great idea for a part of more than 6.

    Best chilaquiles in Dallas. Yes, you'll have to wait to be seated, but it's worth it. The service, coffee, conchas, and food are excellent. The tables and restaurant are always clean, and I love the music they play

    I and my friend were looking for a nice little brunch spot and I came across this one on TikTok. Sometimes I'm wary of suggestions on TT, but after some digging, found that this is was a beloved spot. So we drove over early on the weekend to try it out. It's an unassuming small storefront, with valet parking available up front.The inside is very cute and cozy, with outdoor seating. The decor is very reminiscent of CDMX. We got: - pan dulce: 10/10, not cloyingly sweet, soft, and tasted freshly baked - chilaquiles: 15/10, spicy, well flavored - mimosas: 11/10 affordable and strong - cafe de olla: 12/10 coffee with brown sugar + cinnamon notes in a clay pot. Literally life changing - huevos al gusto: my friend got this, and said it was very good. - iced latte: my friend also got this. She said she doesn't drink coffee often but thought this was also well done. Bookmarked for my next visit. Can't wait to come back.

    It was so delicious I will come back again

    First timer, was not expecting a long wait for a tuesday! But oh my! Worth the wait. Cafe de Olla was perfect, Green chilaquiles were super spicy. Best chilaquiles i've ever had, great taste.

    Huevos al gusto

    Wow. Very nice facility, clean , good service , simple menu , tasty Had the huevos a la mexicana very good ! We'll recommend

    Chilaquiles

    Que riquísimo! The food here was sooooo good. The salsa verde on the chillaquiles is a little bit on the spicier side, but you can tell it's sabrosa, not just a bunch of heat. It's so good. Parking was a little difficult. We just parked a block away and walked. But it's so worth it! Get on that waitlist and try this food! We only waited 35 minutes for a party of 2, and I would wait much longer-- it was that good!

We had breakfast in the hotel and our server was helpful, friendly and had a sense of humor. We visited the pool and were surprised that it was not heated. The hotel gym was decent, could use a better (newer) bench but it had the basics. Our room had everything we needed (the bed was quite soft) and a great view of the eye across the street. My first shower would only get warm and not hot so maintenance had to come up and show me a safely button to push which allows the water to get hot. This was after texting with hotel staff (a very helpful option) but surprising that they didn't just tell me about the button and chose to send maintenance. We were in room 852 on the North side of the hotel and overlooking the eye. We came back from dinner around 10 on Saturday night and were kept awake until about 1:30am. I guess Main St is where people choose to drive their cars with the music so loud it feels as though it's in your hotel room. The motorcycles and cars also like to rev their engines.... A LOT. The windows appear to be single pane and they don't keep any noise out at all. Due to the noise level, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.  Being on the 8th floor and feeling like I was in the cars that were driving on main st and blaring music 2 nights in a row was incredibly disappointing.  If this was a 2 star hotel, okay.  That is not the case.  Upgrade the windows to double or triple pane.  Your location is great, service was friendly and efficient, but one generally wants to sleep at night and that is not possible at your hotel. We even asked the front desk on our second morning if we should change rooms and were told Sunday nights were quiet. I should have listened to my gut as our Sunday night was not quiet. Although the amount of cars & motorcycles wasn't as much as on Saturday, we still heard several cars with music blaring or motorcycles reviving their engines until around 1am. This was the beginning of a long overdue vacation and birthday celebration and it did not get started on the right foot unfortunately.

Best decision ever From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with so much enthusiasm and seated right away by the window --although I was a little unsure about staying there since it was already cold outside . While we were deciding, someone immediately checked in to make sure we were okay (love that ). That's when the very kind gentleman--who we later learned was Victor Hugo--let us know another table would be clearing shortly so we could move. Top-tier service already For appetizers, we went with the brisket balls, duck taquitos, and a pitcher of pineapple mimosas . Let me tell you... those duck taquitos were SO good That crema?? EVERYTHING. The brisket balls instantly took us back to Turks & Caicos --IFYKYK We also tried the quesadilla, and once again--another hit . So good that we ended up ordering another round of the brisket balls because why not? Shoutout to Sayde and Maria, who were absolutely amazing . Tequila shots were flowing , and we were convinced to order pecan pie with ice cream for dessert . I do wish the dessert had been complimentary, and the pie would've been a solid 10/10 if it were warm--but still appreciated. Takeaway: Bucket & Rope does food right , and Victor and his team truly make you feel like family . We'll definitely be back--especially for those half-price apps during the week

    Came for brunch and what a wonderful time was had!…read more We grabbed a spot on the patio and Johnna was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and gave some great suggestions. We started off with a pitcher of mimosa and the duck taquitos. I'm usually not a fan duck however I was told to give it a try. If you hadn't told me it was duck, I probably would have thought it was chicken. The mimosa was a build your own, it came with 3 juices - orange, pineapple and cranberry - and you got to pour as much or as little juice as you wanted. Between the two of us, we each got about 3 glasses. I got the French toast, which tasted like a deep fried donut, in a good way. The outside was crunchy, the inside still had the pillow custard texture. However in my opinion it needed more of the apple pecan slaw especially if you weren't trying to drown them in syrup. My friend had the chilequillas which she really enjoyed but did mention a few times that it was a little spicy. We ended the meal with dessert which was rich and luscious but oh so delicious. It was a cholesterol mouse that was covered in a hazelnut chocolate shell with a raspberry sauce. Overall a great time was had & I'd gladly go back to try more.
