went here Jan 14th with a group of 8 people to celebrate 2 birthdays. Food was fair my pork was very tough and my wifes fish was so so. Sangria was very good and wait staff was very attentive but I think they are mostly family. Not sure if we would go back again too far to travel for a just OK meal read more

This is my 2nd visit in two days. I had been here many years ago and then forgot about it. We came with 4 couples on Sunday. then returned with out of town guests. The food was great both times. I had a seafood platter and had their whole grouper. Each dish was served just the way I had ordered it. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dishes. Price is right, serve staff while a bit harried were pleasant. Will recommend and will come back. read more

Great Cuban restaurant with a varied menu for all. Big selection of seafood. Fabulous Paella! Owner went out of her way to make us feel comfortable for our first dinner out since the start of the Covid pandemic. Highly recommend giving this off the beaten path restaurant a try. read more

Great value. Sweet atmosphere. Lots of delicious food and sangria for the price. I enjoyed the half chicken and the yummy veggies and rice that came with. I'm not an officianodo of Cuban food so I don't know how authentic it is. Seems to close up early. read more

This little place looks easy to underestimate, but that would be a mistake. We were seated in an empty dining room right when they opened, but every single table was filled with diners by the time we departed. The menu is chock full of delicious choices, some with a distinctly Cuban flair. The mussels we're so good I ordered a second serving to go for tomorrow. My break and my husband's streak were delicious and generously garnished. And do not miss the Cuban flan. read more

Very disappointed on the first visit. The restaurant was busy so I ordered something simple to go thinking I would come back and try it on a more sedate evening. The wings were dry and shriveled, mercifully tossed. The service seemed very stressed. Maybe another visit to try again. read more

The food here is nothing but AMAZING. As soon as I walked into the restaurant I was pleasantly greeted and seated. Do not miss the Cuban flan. Garlic steak is a must!! read more

Not really sure what to say about this place... The menu says Cuban American Cusine, but they also serve Italian. beer and wine only, not a full bar. The menu is very cheaply designed, words are mispelled and grammar is not correct. Looks like the owners designed the menu in MS word with cheasy clipart. The place is small and dark inside, probably seats no more than 50 people. The men's bathroom smelled like sewage and is outdated and felt dirty... Actually the entire restaurant seems a little outdated and feels dirty. We visited on a Monday, they only had 3 tables occupied when we arrived. In the corner of the small dining room they had a women playing the keyboard and singing (this was very awkward). I think the owner was sitting at the bar and had her 2 children eating and watching cartoons on the TV at the bar. I ordered the pork chop special and my wife ordered a snapper entree. One of my prok chops came out to the table and it was raw, sent it back and it came back to me overcooked and dry. The food is WAY overseasoned, which I guess is a good thing if are 80 years old and you dont have taste buds anymore. The server was fine, very attentive and could hold a conversation and joke around a little bit. Im sure he could serve at any other restaurant in the area and see larger tips in his pocket. Im not sure what they are trying to pull off here, but it might be time to rethink the concept. Overall, I will never go back nor will I suggest this any of my friends, family or colleagues. With all of the dining in Delray and Boynton Beach, save yourself from the awkward experience and poor food, and try another restaurant. read more

We absolutely love Phyllis G's Enigma & has been a favorite of my family and friends for many years. Really cute atmosphere with a friendly bar if you chose to dine there or a cozy dining room. Food is absolutely amazing with our favorites being pecan snapper, chicken or veal Marsala & steak piazzola. They even serve a salad & bread with your dinner. Enigma is a must try; you will not be disappointed. Great for special events too; they are very accommodating. We love Adita! read more

By word of mouth we found this place 2 miles pass Atlantic ave. yes it doesn't have great curb appeal from the outside, but the inside was fine. They have a very eclectic menu, from Italian to Cuban. All the dishes were great . I had macadamia crusted grouper, caprese salad, Coconut shrimp, plantain. My husband had steak and it was cooked just as he asked and it was delish. The place is a hole in the wall, but I hope the secret doesn't get out to quickly. Sangria was good and prices were reasonable. Service was good, but slightly slow. read more

Formerly known as Phyllis G's Enigma, the owners have changed nothing but the name. Owners Nas and Adita have upgraded the dining experience to include a wine list and fresh decor. The menu is the consistent blend Cuban, Continental and American cuisine. Where else can you find a menu with something for everyone in a relaxed, environment and at reasonable prices? The menu pricing had gone up about $1 per item but considering everything included in the meal, it is well worth it. (i.e.: seared Sushi grade tuna with potatoes and vegetables, salad and dinner rolls is $19! You'd pay double downtown Delray, and fight for parking!) Ample free parking...put the Enigma Bistro on your bucket list when in the area. A must read more

What a great restaurant. The garlic steak was amazing and Plaintain's were soft and sweet and the service was excellent! The sangria was to die for read more

we have been eating here off and on for maybe 8 years.....never ever disappointed! ......used to eat at the bar only, now we prefer the beautiful and unusually decorated dining room....every meal we have ordered has been delicious.....we are planning a large group party in June.....Enigma is a kept secret in mid-Palm Beach County.....dont hesitate to go! ----Melissa from Boca Raton and Darien, Georgia read more

Any time we are in the general area of this part of Florida, we stop in for dinner, usually with one or two other couples we visit who live here. Every time we have gone, the service is great, attentive and helpful. Sangria is awesome! The coconut grouper is the best I've ever had anywhere and I order it every time! My wife loves her skirt steak, and the others in our party all order either a fish or steak dinner, and everyone always walks away saying " we need to come here more often"! Salads were small but good, fresh delicious bread and we never seem to have room for dessert! Someday... lol! Highly recommended for dinner anytime! read more

Worst service, very average food. Sat for ten minutes before anyone came over for drink orders. Skirt steak tasted very greasy like it was marinated in oil. They never came around to fill soda glasses or coffee cups or ask us if we wanted anything else. No bread served. Service was awful! read more

Sadly, we stopped going to Phyllis G's. It was a family favorite for a long time, but last time we went, ordered the Snapper and what they served us was most definitely NOT Snapper. The fish was mushy/not firm/ and not fresh. Seems like they are jumping on the restaurant bandwagon by serving "garbage" fish such as swai/basa/talapia. Too bad. We used to love this place. read more

Ate at Enigma Bistro (aka Phyllis' Enigma) for the last time tonight. Arrived at 5:30, my reservation time. There was only 1 other table occupied. The place filled up quickly and the waitress and owner hovered over our table at 6:40 wanting us to finish and leave because they many other people waiting. So why should my meal be compromised because the owners don't know how to book properly. The food was mediocre at best. I told the owner she did not know how to properly treat a customer and that I would never be back. Her response was "I don't care." These people should not be in business. There are too many great places in Boynton and Delray to eat at. Please don't was your time or money eating here. read more

Always friendly, great service and a real deal. Try the sangria; it's the best.

Recently returned to a favorite spot to experience a long wait for our food. Apparently they are short a chef. Food was - as always - very good. This is in-season and they did have several groups of 7 and more that night. read more

We love this place!! This is our 'go to' restaurant. My favorite is the pecan snapper dinner. Other favorites are the chicken Marsala and steak piazzolia. Meals also include salad and bread, which is a great touch! Highly recommend this place! read more

Great food, great service! On vacation this week from NJ and this was the first place we left without any left overs. We ate everything! Loved the ropa veja and the macadamia grouper. read more

Great food, sangria and service. Love this place. Reasonable prices on fresh seafood. I would give it 5 stars except for a slight odd smell when you first walk in. read more

A terrific place for a nice local area meal. Start with a delicious sangria and finish with an out of this world flan. Nice selection of dishes in between one of my favorites being paella. Prices are exceptionally reasonable, Husband and wife owners extremely nice and always accommodating. We go here frequently and definitely recommend. read more

Interesting little place, mostly Cuban but a wide ranging menu. We sat at the bar, the Sangria is very good. We tried the Cuban pulled pork which was really quite good. And also a random chicken francese which turned out to be about the best I've ever had. The place was packed on a Saturday night so I guess it's becoming known. Will definitely be back. read more

The owners, Nas and Adita have worked hard on the refit and have managed to keep what we love about their restaurant. Now branded as Enigma Bistro we had dinner there this week and loved it. Started with Maduros, which are like candy, followed by some of the best onion soup I've ever had. Our friend a vegetarian had the eggplant parmigiana made without egg, and told me it was the best he had ever had. My veal chop was done to perfection as was my wife's New Orleans seafood casserole. A blend of Shrimp, Calamari, Mussels, Snapper, Clams and Lobster, in a rich fish broth topped with rosemary and garlic. Ended our dinner with flan and smiles all around. Very reasonable pricing considering the quality of the meal. Sometimes the service can be a drop slow as this is a family restaurant and all is prepared fresh. So, enjoy your time there, drink delicious Sangria, take in the refreshed ambiance, and discover this local gem known to us locals for years. read more
