El Encanto - Buffalo

BEST PUERTO RICAN FOOD IN BUFFALO. I am from PR and this is the most authentic food I found. Love it!!!

This Puerto Rican restaurant is definitely worth a visit! The food is incredible, the decor is lovely, and the staff is friendly. My only piece of advice is to avoid coming too hungry because, while the food is absolutely worth the wait, it can take a little time. I highly recommend this place!

Last week, I stopped by to place a takeout order, and it was ready in just 15 minutes. The piña colada was outstanding, made with fresh fruit instead of mix! Due to COVID, indoor dining wasn't available, but the place looked bright and clean. After placing our order, we took a leisurely stroll around the block for about 15 minutes, and when we returned, our meal was ready and waiting for us. Everything was delicious. I was particularly thrilled to have mofongo, which came with half a chicken! The pastelillo was large and tasty, although it's not my favorite in the city.

Delicious food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. The food took a bit of time to arrive, but I highly recommend it!
