    USD 125.00 per person

    31 Dec 2024 only
    Let's close out the year with a Seattle fiesta! Three course meal of elevated Mexican dishes from Chef Gabriel Chavez, unique to his homeland of Durango and special for this evening. There will be options for each course and an a la carte menu for add-ons, desserts, and of course a full cocktail menu. We expect the bar to be open past count-down with a heavily festive vibe! Come celebrate NYE with us at El Encanto, with tequila in hand.

    Food was excellent and service outstanding. I've been several previous times with friends and it was great every time. I came with just one friend this time and now they will want to come back too.

    Amazing food and service couldn’t even complain at all. Date night is a must here, waiter was not to sure about how will he did since he was doubtful about his service but confidence is key so I hope that doesn’t effect him in the long run.
