This was the best restaurant! The food was amazing (try the coconut shrimp!), the presentation beautiful, portions great, all served with grace and elegance. A gem tucked away in old Vallarta, seek it out, you'll be happy you did.

We had another wonderful dinner at Encanto Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. This little gem is up Achiles Serdan side street in old town. Just keep going up - you will find it on the right almost at the tunnel entrance. The staff is very welcoming. I again ordered my favourite appetizer - crab cakes, and my partner had corn cakes...

This little jewel is in my opinion one of Vallarta's finest. They start you with a wonderful salsa and chips. The salsa is not a standard or common salsa, prepared with many of the normal ingredients but also with some corn and fruits. A great, light and refreshing version of chips and salsa which I would definitely like to see... More

Tucked away on Aquiles Serdan 5 blocks east of Insurgentes (the main street of Vallarta going North from the Gringolandia (the south end of the city) Encanto provides friendly service, superb appetizers and fine entrees in just the right proportions. Situated in a typical Mexican family neighborhood one can share in the ambience of real Mexico while enjoying a meal... More

After many years visiting Puerto Vallarta, we just found Encanto. What a cute, charming restaurant in a local neighbor close to the Romantic Zone. With only 10 tables, Encanthe is decorated with all white tables and chairs with floral cushions and covered backs. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. Before we left, everyone who worked there had introduced themself... More

Yesterday, we finally decided to have dinner at the Encanto, a restaurant located in our our 'hood which we have intended trying for tha past 2 or 3 years. We were very pleasantly surprised by everything about this delightful little gem. From the greeting when we entered, the lovely ambience of the decor, the menu choice, and of course our... More

Very good food and wonderful service. After we ordered the waiter brought out a complementary app, which was very good. We ordered the corn cakes, which were amazing, fish of the day, also very good, and the cheese relleno, also good. We had a bottle of red wine which was a bit warm so he brought out an ice bucket...

Anyway, we have several favorite restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and this is one we had been wanting to visit for a long time and, when we finally went, it was to die for! Heaven.... More

Encanto has been one of our favorite places to go after discovering it several years ago. This year we visited it twice and both times we felt the services was a bit lacking from what initially attracted us to this establishment. The food still remains a high quality but having being there several times now, we wish they would change... More
