Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We reserved a table at Encanta to celebrate my 50th birthday and it was amazing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff are attentive and friendly. Their testing menu was amazing and they even allowed my husband to order a second portion of the ribeye course. The coconut deserts was sublime! Great birthday dinner!

We are so happy we made reservations at Encanta, we truly enjoyed our dining experience! Abril was so warm and informative and was a pleasure to have guide us through our 8 course dining service. As Jesus stated at the end of our meal, their food celebrates true Mexican culture and aims to create a lasting memory with thoughtfully curated meals, drinks, and a fun musical ambiance. We’re so excited to come back and join them again.

Encanta is much more than a restaurant, it is a real experience for the senses. From the first moment, we were impressed by the elegance of the place and the attention to detail in every aspect. The atmosphere is sophisticated, perfect to enjoy an unforgettable dinner. The attention of Emiliano and his partner was impeccable. His in-depth knowledge of the menu and detailed explanation of each dish really made a difference. Each dish was not only a masterpiece of flavor, but also presented with creativity that reflected the passion of the chef and kitchen team. Just as Emiliano recommended we paired perfectly with the flavors of the food, further elevating our experience. Encanta is undoubtedly a place where haute cuisine is lived at its best. If you’re looking for a dinner that combines atmosphere, taste and top-notch service, this restaurant is the perfect choice. Thank you, Emiliano, and the entire Encanta team, for a truly magical night!

First of allá from the 8 courses 4 where unsalted and unflavored, later they give me a taco to eat in a plastic colorfully plate like a happy birthday. For the end I hope the chef makes a better menu or change the plates and increase the flavor. Without flavor you don't have good food.

My husband and I spent four nights at Xcaret Arte and had three amazing meals. I planned Encanta for our last, expecting it to be the best. Big disappointment. The dishes just were not that tasty or interesting, and the chef made some weird choices. For example, the first dish was a tostada with fish, avocado, and a layer of gelatin that tasted a bit like soy sauce. Why gelatin? Who wants to eat jello with fish? I peeled it off and ate what otherwise would have been a fine but pretty run of the mill tostada. Every dish was like that. Almost good, but not really. I hate wasting food but I ended up leaving behind most of the last few dishes because they weren’t worth the calories and my mind was drifting to the Mercado…. Immediately after finishing dinner at Encanta I went there and got a cheese and bean quesadilla with habanero sauce and it was 💯🔥 Also, the service at Encanta was not good at all compared to the incredible service we received at China Poblano. The difference was that our server at China Poblano seemed excited to tell us about the food. He was engaging and present. Our servers at Encanta didn’t seem like they wanted to be there.

Beautifully presented courses - don’t be fooled by the portion sizes, you will leave unable to eat any more for the rest of the night!! Our server, Antonio, was absolutely fantastic - we enjoyed talking about his adventures in Europe and learning more about Mexico from him. He kept our drinks topped up throughout the courses and his service was first class! Thank you Antonio!

My family and I had the culinary experience of our lives, the food is exquisite and unique, the atmosphere of the place is simply magical. The entire restaurant staff was very friendly and attentive at all times, but I would like to thank and acknowledge Brandon who guided us through our experience, made recommendations, explained each step to us, was very kind, attentive, friendly, super professional, and it made the experience very meaningful for my father who was celebrating his birthday. Thank you very much Brandon! Thank you very much Encanta restaurant! A highly recommended experience!

The entire experience was incredible from start to finish; and our Waiter Antonio made it much better by explaining each dish in detail, recommending drinks according to our tastes, and with a super friendly treatment, I felt like I was talking to a friend. The truth is, the best restaurant in my entire experience in Xcaret. Safety pin!

The charming restaurant is wonderful from its architecture to its flavors. Placing the name of Mexico high with high foreign and national exposure, there is no room for doubt that the menu presented by the chef not only tells the local Mexican tradition but also elevates the culinary and palate experience. The service is exceptional with presentation of the dishes, ingredients and tasting recommendations from the chef. A special thank you to our waiter Jairo, who was always friendly and cleared up our doubts.

Excellent experience, we LOVED it, the best restaurant in Xcaret Arte, Chef Paco Méndez makes you live a great experience in every way in each dish. Diego served us with excellent service, his accompaniment in this experience made us experience each dish. If you go to Xcaret Arte you can't miss Encanta. We will surely return on our next visit.

Great service and quality of food! The staff were welcoming and friendly. There were performances during dinner which were great as well. Antonio did a great job of taking care of us. He explained what every course was and kept us engaged throughout. He even recommended few mock tails based on our preference which were great. Highly recommend Encanta!

We dined at Encanta Sept 2024 during our honeymoon. From beginning to finish our experience was top tier. Antonio was our waiter and we couldn’t speak higher of him, and his personable, knowledgable and friendly nature. He took us through each course of the tasting menu with detail translated perfectly into English. Our best employee experience since visiting Xcarte Arte. Each course was intriguing, different and incredibly flavourful. We loved the interactive aspects as well. Antonio & Encanta are 10/10.
