Cave Creek, Arizona was an interesting place to visit. Since I visited twice during my stay in Phoenix I will be posting multiple blogs for this town. I am starting with The El Encanto restaurant because this is where we ate the first night in Phoenix. It is hard to top Tex-Mex and the Mexican food in the Southwest is often different than what we are acustome to in Texas. With that said, El Encanto was an outstanding place to eat. The atomosphere alone was an enjoyable experience. There are inside and outside seating options. We were inside, but our table was against a window overlooking the pond that is located in the center or the restaurant, so we were able to view the ducks and geese with no problems. The entire restaurant has character and the artwork, statues and pond make El Encanto unique in its own little way.
Now to the fun part, the food! I have to say, I was very impressed with the food. I didn't know what to expect, because I am not a huge fan of Southwest Mexican Food, but everything turned out perfect. Surprisingly, the food did not have the Southwest taste I remeber from my past and it actually tasted like Tex-Mex. I thought I was in San Antonio eating Mexican Food on the Riverwalk! Yes, it was that good! The price was even similar to the Riverwalk, but I wouldn't let this hold you back because it is worth every penny.
The only thing I didn't like was the flavored Iced Tea. I am not a fan of foo-foo teas, but they were out of regular iced tea, so I really didn't have a choice.
