la encantada


Humboldt Park is home to La Encantada, a family restaurant run by our friend Edgar and his talented siblings. The building rehab, the food, the cocktails, the photography, and the paintings on display are each hecho por la familia Enriquez. Try the chile en nogada—a poblano pepper stuffed with ground beef, apples, peaches, pears, and raisins, and then smothered in a sweet, creamy nut sauce. Or the enchiladas bananas—plantain stuffed enchiladas in mole with a side of chipotle sweet potatoes or marinated cactus.
