- JJimVIPSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWhat a lovely restaurant! A friend recommended Encanto as a nice place to eat before a concert at the Greek Theatre, and we couldn’t have been happier. If you like Octopus, you need to try theirs. The wood fire cooking creates a nice char on the outside and a soft inside, it is like no other Octopus I’ve eaten. And for your first visit I recommend getting the taste of Baja ceviche sampler. All of them are good, but it’s fun to compare them. Our server was Michael, who was one of the most attentive, pleasant servers we’ve had. When we return, we’ll definitely ask for him.More infoEncantoPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Los Feliz•4.7
