    This place is cool! It's resembles a brick castle of sorts. There is lots of parking and lots of…read morephoto ops set up. The restaurant is huge and set on several level right on the coast. Great views and a few splashes depending on where you are seated. There was solo guitarist sing during lunch. It was a very nice touch. The food was good. The tortillas were hot and freshly made. The service was friendly and efficient.

    I recently visited Encanto in Ensenada and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more When the bill arrived, I noticed that one of my dishes was priced incorrectly. I politely pointed it out to our server, Daniel, expecting it to be corrected. Instead, he casually dismissed it and said, "It's only 100 pesos more," which I found unprofessional and disrespectful. It's not about the amount it's about accuracy and customer service. Because of this interaction, I decided to remove the $20 tip I had initially left. When I did, he took the receipt to his manager and claimed that I hadn't tipped at all. I explained the situation, but he responded with a smirk, which felt mocking and made the situation even more uncomfortable. Additionally, the service overall was slow. We asked for water multiple times before ordering, during the meal, and even after finishing and it still took a long time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, despite the setting. I hope management takes this kind of behavior seriously and works on improving both service quality and professionalism.

    We stopped at Portales de García on our way down to Valle de Guadalupe, and honestly, it's one of…read morethose places that's all about the setting. The building itself is beautiful! kind of castle-like architecture perched right on the coast, and the ocean views are absolutely stunning. I only had a drink here, so I can't speak much to the food firsthand, but I did read quite a few reviews beforehand and noticed a pretty consistent theme: people seem to love the views and atmosphere, but the food is often described as underwhelming. That was part of the reason we kept it simple and just stopped in for a drink break. For me, it worked perfectly as a scenic pause on the drive -- grab a drink, take in the coastline, stretch your legs, and enjoy the view. If you're expecting a full standout culinary experience, it might not be the place. But if you treat it as a beautiful roadside stop with incredible scenery, it definitely delivers. Worth it for the views alone, just manage expectations on the dining side.

    The parking was relatively easy. They have a designated spot and it's free if you bring the parking…read moreattendant the receipt. The restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing with plenty of Instagram worth spots to take pictures. The service is pretty good and they're quick with clearing the table and bringing out the drinks. The food is just OK for the price. We ordered aguachile, bacon wrapped shrimp, the mixed plate, and chimichurri shrimp. The flavor of the aguachile was good, but it was odd that there was a mix of jumbo shrimp and regular sized shrimp. It also didn't seem like they allowed the shrimp to "cook" in the lime. I also wasn't a fan of how chunky the cucumber was cut. The bacon wrapped shrimp was good as well. The chimichurri shrimp was more like shrimp in butter. The mixed plate was decent, but only came with a little bit of salsa. The portions of the octopus were pretty big (unappealing to some). The drinks were great though! We'd likely come back just for drinks!

    Food It was all good…read more Service was amazing Ambiance was nice Have been coming to this spot since 2020.

    We found this spot on Yelp, after looking through other reviews and comparing them to other spots…read morein the area. We were also welcomed by someone promoting this restaurant on the street/inviting people to check out the food. I realized later that they also have a downstairs bar and restaurant (you can also preview the seafood selections from the cart). We opted to eat upstairs since they had a bit of a view with a more open seating area. Only about 3 tables have the view of the water/beach, while the rest of the tables are either on the side overlooking the street, in the middle of the restaurant, or on the side where you can kind of see the view. They also have a nice photo opp/background also on one of the sides facing the water view. We were welcomed and seated and got to check out the different sized lobster options (this was what immediately drew us to this spot initially). We were greeted with complementary chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and ceviche. It was a nice welcome surprise. We got an order of 3 medium lobsters and an order of garlic shrimp. We also got a bottle of Tecate and a Carajillo cocktail. One of the neighboring areas had a mariachi band serenading different tables in their outdoor restaurant area. And that provided a lot of entertainment for our seafood feast. We also had other musicians come through our restaurant to try to serenade us, but nobody seemed to want to fork over any money. The drinks came pretty quickly and even though I'm not big on beer, the chilled bottle just somehow made sense and tasted a lot better. The Carajillo was tasty and served with an orange slice. I felt like it was the perfect combination to the coffee forward cocktail. The Appetizer was delicious, although I'm not big on any spicy items, the salsa was good in small doses. The ceviche and pico de gallo were super fresh, as were the tortilla chips. When we got the main courses, they came out rather quickly. They were split and halved. Same with the shrimp. These dishes were also served with an order of beans with rice, freshlu made flour tortillas, as well as a side of butter dipping sauce. The food was extremely fresh and came out rather quickly. Our server seemed to be a bit attentive and check on us a couple of times. When we finished, we ended up getting 1 homemade flan to share and another Carajillo to pair. The drink was just as good as the first one and prepared similarly. The flan was tasty, just a bit on the sweet side for me. It was the waiting that kinda got to me. It wasn't that they forgot about us, but that we were probably waiting around for a bit before the server came back to check on us. We may have waited an extra 10 minutes before we got the check, paid, and left. Food and drinks: 5 stars Service: 4 stars (courteous and respectful, just bit less attentive than we would've hoped for.
