Storefront of Encanto Colombia in Saltillo's historic center

Saltillo, Coahuila

A little piece of Colombia, in the heart of Saltillo

Traditional Colombian cooking and Colombian-Mexican fusion, in a place that feels like visiting family.

Our Story

A dream full of flavor, color, and love

Carlos, a mechanical engineer and Colombian-Venezuelan at heart, and Stephy, a business administrator and proud barranquillera, dreamed of sharing the best of their homeland with Mexico. On May 1, 2022, that dream opened its doors: Encanto Colombia.

They both came to Mexico eight years ago looking for opportunities. When Carlos's industrial projects stalled during the pandemic, Stephy was offered a job in Saltillo and they took the leap. They fell in love with the weather, the calm, and the warmth of the people, saw that the city was missing a Colombian corner, and that's where Encanto Colombia was born.

The name is inspired by the Disney film Encanto: a place that celebrates the flavors, colors, and joy of Colombia — not competing with the wonderful Mexican food they also love, but complementing it. Today, in this 110-year-old house in Saltillo's historic center, there's more laughter, more seasoning, and more joy every single day.

Carlos and Stephy

Their beautiful little Mexican girl was born here, and here they found a second home. 🇲🇽❤️ Driven to build something and share their roots, they created more than a restaurant: a family that cooks with love and dreams.

💛 That every guest lives a different experience.
💙 That they discover the richness of Colombian culture.
❤️ That Encanto Colombia becomes the number-one name for Colombian food in Mexico.
