Colombian hot dogs, in Greenport? Foodies can now find it at Encanto Crepes & Cafe’s newest location on Main Street.
Husband and wife duo, Gustavo Acero and Yuri Acero, opened Encanto’s first location on Valentine's Day in 2023. They opened a new, larger location on Greenport’s Main Street in the former Di Angela Goods & Accessories last month. It took about a year to finalize the move, Yuri Acero said.
"We’ll always be grateful for having started [at our former location] but we always had in mind that we wanted something bigger," Yuri Acero said in Spanish. "What we did here, the decorations and everything, is what we wanted from the beginning for Encanto."
The eatery — a full cafe with a variety of espresso and caffeinated drinks — has substantially expanded its menu to 12 crepe flavors, 45 varieties, all made in an open kitchen.
For a crepe with Colombian flavor, there's the Colombian extraordinaire ($14) made with dulce de leche, guava paste and mozzarella cheese. More savory options include the pulled pork crepe ($16) or the chipotle chicken crepe ($16) and for seafood lovers, there’s the salmon crepe ($16) or the shrimp salad crepe ($17).
Authentic Colombian goodies such as arepas or corn griddle cakes, almojabanas or Colombian cheese bread have also been added to the menu. Loaded hot dogs are a standout; particularly the Colombian hot dog ($10), made with onions, a pineapple topping, mozzarella cheese, potato chips and chipotle sauce.
In the future for Encanto: more Long Island outposts, Yuri Acero said.
Encanto Crepes & Cafe, 140C Main St., Greenport, encantocrepescafe.com, 631-477-6533. Open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday to Saturday.
