Well, I say this with some regret, because 3 years ago EGC was at the top of their game. Now it takes 40 minutes sitting in a packed room with all types from this city just to get some $5 shake [the only good idea or product they've put out all year IMO]... The staff IS always friendly but just this last time they told me on my next visit I'd be required to give up my bag, due to increased security measures, post-HQ-robbery. I REALLY MISS SEEING NICK- the owner- on visits into this shop, since they are so few & far between... But now, with not 1 but 2 better quality dispensaries with the EXACT same pricing scheme, my only purpose for going is the shake. For those of us with a really tight budget, it's a little dose of much needed GRACE. I still support the vision/mission here; I just wish it wasn't lost on most of the young, stoned staff. I don't even want to bring up the concentrates but I will to warn people away from them. There is nothing good shatter/wax wise here or at the next closest dispensary to these cross-streets but if you go to 43rd & Indian School you will find the folks at the top of the crumble game nowadays. I'm lucky that the flower even still gets me lifted, but after all, it IS "medical-grade" cannabis... 3 years ago I would come here as my first choice spot. Now, my opinion is different. But to give them the benefit of the doubt, I recommend you go see for yourself, just NOT on a weeknight between 4:20 p.m. & 8:20 p.m. or you will likely be less than satisfied with your experience. read more

This place is the best!!! I have had my card for awhile now and this is the best place i have ever been to! They recently did some construction on the inside of the building, it opened it up alot and really made a difference! There are more seats to wait at and they definitely make it worth the wait. Free flavored tea (always different) and they have some tvs up with a vending machine. The selection is remarkable!! I love all the different wax and flowers they have. Plus, i like the fact that you can kinda choose what grade you want of flower since they have different price categories. Everyone in there is super friendly and super cool to talk to. I know that when they first opened, it was kind of cramped, but that was definitely taken care of with the re-model. But HEY! Think of it this way; if they weren't a great dispensary, then why would the waiting room be completely filled up?? Anyone who comes in later at night is going to have a little wait time, only because their buds and flowers are SO worth it!! Returning customers will agree, this place is the best hands down and you can tell they worked their ass off to get there! EGC FOR LIFE!!! (I even bought one of the shirts they had and wear it around just to help show their business off) You wont regret going here, they are amazing! read more

Where do I begin? The "home of the $10" gram LOL. Tons of dispensaries offer $10 grams now so there's that. The Glycerin Tincture that they sell for $35 + TAX is only $25 OUT THE DOOR at Arizona Organix. This place only has a lot of reviews because they are shady and give people free pre-rolls if you leave a review. If you have to give people shit to leave a review that means your buds suck and they wouldn't have left a review otherwise. Also Home of $25 GRAMS LOL! No one buys your shitty bud bro. Quarters can be like $78 here if you pay like $6 more at any other place like Arizona Organix you will get like 2000% more stoned. The shit here is "RARELY EVER TESTED FOR THC%" they will say something along the lines of "ugh it hasn't made it to the lab yet" LOL give me a break! Get your shit tested and have THC % values displayed. This is 2015 not 2010 bro. Also some idiot girl tried to sell me some Military relief pills with no THC & CBD in there and she claimed it had both and on the label it doesn't list it. LOL!!!! They have no idea what they are doing here. read more

I have been a smoker and or patient for 30 years. I have watched EGC start off and I must say they are the best hands down. There DURBAN (there giving it away) is hands down the best in az.I am going down today to pick up some. Such a solid and awesome flavor and super potent. It Doesn't last long. It is there trade mark bud. They should put it in the cup for sure. I was in last week and could not believe what they had in concentrates. It is called EGC LIVE RESIN. Doug the manager explained to me the process. It is not trim but only buds used to make it. being a concentrate enthusiast I wanted to try it.IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE PERIOD. The extraction takes place right when cut down to not let the terps loose out from curing. The freshest and potency were the highest ever. This was the best concentrate I have ever had. As always EGC comes to the table to lead the way for others to follow. The price was 125 a gram. But because of the potency it is well worth it. If you like concentrates I suggest you get some.This place rocks like no other. Jim -C read more

To start, I have to commend not only the selection, but the quality of the medicine offered here. There's something for every patient and every price range. I liked the flow of this dispensary -- being called back and helped individually is great! I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike about all of the medicine they had. Mike (the OG lol!) was knowledgeable of each strain offered, and was able to tell me the effects from personal experience. He walked me through every type of concentrate Encanto carries, and I felt like I was a kid in a candy store! I purchased an assortment from crumble and shatter to some amazing live resins! Everything has a great taste, and is professionally done. I also purchased a few different top quality flowers ranging from a lovely Grape Ape indica to a wonderful Durban Poison sativa and several in between. Love the incentives for each day, and the text reminders! Only improvement I'd request is having a larger space to accommodate all of the business Encanto deserves! Cheers! read more

"Everyone's a critic..." In order to have a fair perception of the overall experience at EGC you, you must visit. Opinions are only accurate to the person's preferences that give that opinion. We all have our own preferences. We all have our own requirements, and we all like to be treated with genuine caring and kindness. Encanto serves a variety of selections to meet any demands and even others that rise above expectations. Their staff are courteous and professional providing an environment that's safe and sanitary and most of all hospitable. I visited EGC for the first time yesterday and will continue for as long as they exist. Upon entering I was immediately greeted and directed to the entrance with doors held open. I was then offered the best spearmint tea, and held pleasant conversation with other waiting patients that shared their on-going experience with EGC. All of the staff was helpful and very knowledgeable about which strain to which symptom. 5 out of 5! Great job guys! read more

I was one of those patients who thought for sure Encanto lost my business after everything that came out in the news. But I happened to run into a booth they had set up at the Pride event last weekend and just felt like asking what their deal was. The girls were really nice and answered most of my questions, enough for me to give them another try. Took in my pride wristband to get my free preroll (fire by the way) and must say I had a very pleasant and awesome visit. Everyone there were really friendly, and my budtender was super cool. They made me feel comfortable, and treated me with care and respect. And if I wanted to look at the lab testing results, they were right there for me to look through. I snagged some of their Jet Fuel and saw how high it tested in THC, which was extremely apparent after I tried it out later. A huge thank you to Encanto team for the positive strides you all have made for us as patients. Lots of love and visits to come! read more

The first time I went, it was my first dispensary experience altogether so I was a little nervous. I must've gotten there at a good time because I didn't have to wait longer than 15 minutes. (The second time I went on a Friday night at 8pm, I was there for well over an hour but that's understandable) I described my recent fibromyalgia diagnosis and chronic pain to my budtender, Tanya, who was extremely helpful in letting me know what would help with aches and nausea, the different strains they had in house and I didn't feel rushed or intimidated. They have unbeatable prices for top notch product. There's also daily specials and happy hour pricing. It's within my budget and that is something I appreciate. Everyone working made me feel welcome and like they were truly there to help me. The second time I went, I was greeted with a 'Welcome Back' at the window before I had even set down my ID, so that impressed me. I'll be back for sure! read more

I've been going to ECG on and off for more than a year, but as of late, it has become my regular dispensary. The specials they run got me to start shopping regularly there, and they do a great job. The quality of the flowers is good, and of course, varies by strain. Some of the strains I've had from ECG are ok, but recently strains like Gorilla Glue and Dream Supreme have really raised the bar in flower quality. ECG is know for their "Shatterday", where all concentrates are on sale ( $20-$30 ) and now their "Crazy 8's" day, where ALL of their flowers are $8/gram, pretty sweet. I recently had a glitch with my order, but when I returned to correct it, they gave me a free gram of wax for my trouble ! It's nice that a dispensary actually gives a hoot about customer service !! Thanks ECG :) read more

I have been going to this dispensary for years and am happy to say they have made great improvements starting with the staff. I travel from Tolleson to this dispensary. They now provide stats on their flower which helps a lot. Only this is the pre-packaging of the flower I dont care for they should be weighing it in front of you. Everything here is pre-package. Only complaint I have is do not buy there shatter that has Purple Panda in it. This strain is mostly CBD and makes for a very gooey, unworkable shatter. If you want an awesme budtender ask for Jannelle or Priscilla they are fantastic and know their stuff. If they cannot answer a question Emilio always knows. Thanks for all the great experiences, I will definetily be back. :) read more

This was my first time, ever, to purchase marijuana, legal or otherwise, so I was truly a newbie when it comes to understanding the different strains. The lady at the front window was very pleasant, and when I got to the back, which was not long at all on a Thursday afternoon about 3 or so. Angel and another young man were incredibly helpful and after telling her I wanted for sleep, anxiety and pain, recommended a particular strain (OG) and i was also given my free 1g preroll in Tangerine. I haven't tried the OG yet. The preroll was great because it did not hurt my throat or lungs because there appears to be a filter on it, which was great. My only question is, on the ingredient list, is it common to have guano on the list? read more

Absolute BEST selection of HIGH QUALITY concentrates in the valley! BEST prices too! I have been here tons of times and never been disappointed. Now the wait times here SUCK, I personally have waited over an hour before, but it is well worth the wait. Just make sure to call or check there online menu to see what's available because they do sell out quick seeing as they are always busy! The staff especially Steve with pre-orders and delivery are extremely helpful! Thanks for always coming through with golden terpy goodness, patient for life here! Don't even know why I try other places... Just gotta stick with the best Encanto Green Cross Dispensary!!!! read more

After pharmaceutical medicines prescribed by my doctor failed to help me, I turned to Medical Marijuana. I didn't have much knowledge about marijuana and the first place I went to didn't give me any help at all. After leaving empty handed, I thankfully went to Encanto Green Cross and I couldn't be happier!!! the staff is so educated and more helpful than I could have expected! I left the dispensary feeling so much more confident in my decision to start using medical marijuana. Their meds are such good quality and have continued to help me over the past few months! I will continue to drive over an hour to visit my family at EGC!!! read more

This place is awesome! I have had a hard time finding a dispensary that carried flower that helped with my medical needs without spending a lot of money. On my first visit, Sandy, I think that was her name.. blonde lady.. anyway, she was willing to help and she listened to my concerns, needs and advice. She was so helpful I had to come back. My second time in my budtender was Jason.. I think.. I'm so bad with names.. he was just as helpful and sincere about really helping me instead of selling me what was on sale to hurry and get me out of there. I will make a third trip.. and a fourth.. and a.. haha you get my drift. read more

Love this place. A lil bit of a wait after like 6 but it's so worth it and u meet some great ppl there in the waiting room. And the staff there is amazing. The shake there is just as good as the house bud but the ching and Chong bud is freaking sick like some top self bud. And that crumble and shatter this is the only place I go to buy it do to that's is 20 out the door and they make it from the flower not the other stuff that other places are selling. Encanto has to be by far the best place to buy bud and I should know I've been to all of them. read more

It was my first time to visit Encanto Green Cross and Kevin was my bud tender he was very informative he told me about all the specials that that you guys have and he gave me one of your little papers about you with the to get your free pre rolls and that you can do it monthly I love the prices there and the weed was outstanding hopefully Kevin will help me again Encanto Green Cross is my new go to dispensary it's a little far but worth it I'm going to tell everyone I know that has a card to start going to Encanto Green Cross read more

thank you so much to Angel and Audi for assisting me. I had an error on my end and these 2 went out of there way to help me and straighten it out and I could not have bean more pleased with their service. Not only did they fix my mistake but they have great prices for there 1/2 oz deal and I got home to try it and could not have bean happier with their product to. they had great customer service and great prices with a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend going there any time. 100% satisfied thank you guys so much. read more

The Dusted OG kush nugz and the Urban Durban Poison Nugz have been a blessing in my life.. I live daily in a lot of pain due to my lupus and stomach cancer. Not only do the "Nugz" help me get to sleep but help me stay asleep so I actually wake up refreshed. They also help make my chronic pain tolerable so that I'm not stuck in my bed cringing in pain all day. I appreciate these Dusted nugz thoroughly and hope that other dispensaries catch on to this idea. Thanks Carol Marshall read more
