Tequila Categories
Joven/Gold
Joven/Gold tequila is usually a tequila in which select cane sugar or caramels have been added to create a rich, tawny color. As with Blancos, Jovens are best suited to mixed drinks.Taste: Fresh and smooth, a touch sweeter than Blanco, with interesting aromatics
Blanco/Silver
Blanco/Silver is a clear tequila that is not aged. Its fresh fruity flavor is the most direct expression of agave and makes Blanco/Silver a great choice for mixed drinks.Taste: Clean, fresh, agave fruit with hints of citrus, pepper and spice
Reposado
Reposado or "rested" tequilas are aged in wooden tanks or barrels for about a year. They are often pale straw in color and mellower than the Silvers and Golds. They provide smooth mix ability for the more sophisticated cocktails or can be enjoyed straight.Taste: Delicate softness with a smooth, more developed finish
Anejo
Anejo tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for at least 3 years (Sauza Anejo for a minimum of one year). It is gold to amber in color and has a soft, smooth, complex flavor brought on by its marriage with the aromatic wood. This is the tequila to sip slowly and appreciatively; just as you would a fine cognac.Taste: Smooth and complex, with layers of caramel, spice, fruit and smoke

About Us
The original El Encanto Restaurant and Cantina is located in the center of Cave Creek. In 1989, Bill Nelson purchased a vacant building, and with a love of Mexico and Mexican food, opened the first El Encanto. He brought a chef he’d known for twenty years from Mexico. Using the finest, freshest ingredients, they put together a menu that people quickly called “the best Mexican food in the Valley.”
Also having a love of old Mexican architecture, Bill made many trips across the border, bringing back ideas and materials to incorporate into El Encanto. The patio and restaurant’s colors and style aim to bring the look and feel of Mexico to your dining experience.
