Review by Angel Miller

El Encanto Restaurant is a cozy gem in Buffalo serving authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. I recently indulged in the pernil plate with arroz con gandules, and it was simply delightful! The yuca alcapurria was a standout, and I couldn’t get enough of the beef and cheese pastelillo.

Even during a busy Saturday night, the waitress was a superstar, handling everything with grace. Sure, the service was a bit slow, but the delicious food made it worth the wait. Don't skip the piña colada - it's fresh and fruity! I’m already planning my next visit. 🌴✨
