"With abstract paintings spotlighted by ceiling lamps, this quiet Mexican sit-down restaurant could pretty easily transition into an art gallery (with a fully stocked bar). Their food also deserves some of that spotlight—it’s the reason for this nearly twenty-year-old spot’s longevity. La Encantada’s tacos and burritos are good, but focus on specialties like cheesy chiles rellenos or any of their eight different enchilada dinners. Just a heads up: this is a credit card-free zone. But if you forgot to hit up an ATM, you can also Venmo them." - josh barnett, john ringor
