The History of El Encanto

The original El Encanto Restaurant and Cantina islocated in the center of Cave Creek.

In 1989, Bill Nelson purchased a vacant building, andwith a love of Mexico and Mexican food, opened the

first El Encanto. He brought a chef he’d known fortwenty years from Mexico. Using the finest, freshestingredients, they put together a menu that peoplequickly called “the best Mexican food in the Valley.”

Also having a love of old Mexican architecture, Billmade many trips across the border, bringing backideas and materials to incorporate into El Encanto.The patio and restaurant’s colors and style aim tobring the look and feel of Mexico to your diningexperience.

El Encanto became a favorite for its enchantingsetting and great food. The business grew rapidly andeventually needed a more developed and improvedinfrastructure. In 2003, Bill implored his eldestdaughter Christine, a lawyer living in Washington, tocome back to run the business. Christine developednew operating systems to manage the increasedvolume and built a management team to implementthem.

They focus on improving consistency and enhancingthe level of service. Christine and Chef Hernandez

also developed a new menu maintaining many of theold favorites, while adding more fresh seafood andseveral of Chef Hernandez’s specialties from hisHometown, Mazatlan.

In 2005, the restaurant had grown to such a successthat Bill and Christine decided it was time to expand.The second location, El Encanto Dos, opened in

January of 2006. Dos sits on a large piece of propertywhere there is room for an organic garden. It servesthe same great food, in a similarly authenticatmosphere. And, now, in 2009, we have opened our

third location, El Encanto de la Fuente, in FountainHills, Arizona.
