This place is so good it was even in a novel written by a local author. I have been going to this place for years and can say that it is the best. The other reviews explain how great the atmosphere is, and it is, so I will not get into that. Best chips and salsa, best beans and rice, and strong drinks. My favorite artery clogger is the Pollo Con Queso. It is sooo good and sooo bad at the same time. Deep fried shredded chicken burrito with jalapeno cream cheese on top and cheddar cheese melted on top of that. You will not be disappointed by this place and it is worth the visit, I just hope it doesn't get too out of control popular. The next best Mexican food that I've had: Ajo Al's (70th st and Shea location), Julio G's on Indian School, and Valle Luna (35th Ave and Bell). The atmosphere and the fact that El Encanto is inside what looks like an old ranch home makes it special. The dining area is cozy and there are many unexpected nooks and crannies in this place.
Pros: Everything
Cons: You will have to wait on the weekends, parking

The food at this adorable restaurant is outstanding. I had my wedding reception at Tonto Bar and Grill and ate there several times before and after. The food is consistently delicious and the staff from the management to hostess to waitresses and waiters is friendly and accomodating. Just top notch all around. Sit outside for the sunshine or at sunset and enjoy the view. The inside space is pleasant as well, with a view and an old southwest feeling. Excellent experience in every way.
Pros: Food is fresh and delish. Staff is super nice
Cons: I can't think of any

Buffalo Chip is the only place in the entire Southwest where you can enjoy live professional bullriding in a venue of this type. Great music and bullriding two nights a week. The place where the real cowboys go.
Pros: Only Real Cowboy Bar in AZ
Cons: not enough days in the week to go there

I usually hate chains. ESPECIALLY pizza chains. But I love Barro's Pizza. I think it's family owned so that probably helps quite a bit. Their crust is amazing. I generally prefer their thin crust but their thick (original) is really good too. I also can't get enough of their honey hot wings.

I was taken here while visiting AZ. I had fish tacos and they are superb. I wish I could find them here in Minnesota. The food choices are many and varied, the atmosphere is good and the service friendly and fast and not annoying.

I miss the NYC style pizza of my early years. Skip the chain pizzerias, they have nothing on this place. Plus, they deliver anywhere in the cave creek area! Hot, yummy thin crust pizza, plus salads, sandwiches and more! Feed the whole family for next to nothing.
Pros: Yummy pizza, delivery, low cost

We bring our three kids here and they love it! They are elementary-age steak-lovers and know how to behave in a restaurant. It is one of our favorite places for a special family dinner. It is our 9 year old's choice for his birthday dinner!

Great food we had bone in ribeye steak and southwest scallops and they were both awesome. Then we were treated to an awsome band Young country. We have also gone their with our kids for breakfast on Sunday and the buffet they offer is the best in the valley, they have a great patio, but sometimes can be very busy and you might have to wait for a table. Great place in Cave Creek.
Pros: great food great atmosphere
Cons: may have to wait for table

They have the best prime rib available in 2 sizes and strawberry shortcake that is heaped with whipped cream. The atmosphere is great if you go in the evening and we've heard coyotes howling as we've walked to our car after dinner. This was one of the first restaurants we went to after moving here from Michigan and I recommend this as a great place to take out-of towners.
Pros: great western atmosph, great food, patio area w/firepit
Cons: may have to wait, restroom, hard seats
