I think you mean "Que tal, encantado?"


Explanation:
The subject of the gender agreement is correct: "tardes" has the feminine gender so the adjective has to agree with the noun, it should be "buenas" indeed.
And "encantar" is the infinitive of the verb and does not seem to fit here in this question.
I think you are trying to ask if he/she is delighted and that should be "encantado" (if a he) or "encantada" (if a she).

"Buenas tardes. Que tal, encantado/a ?"

Regards.

I agree with Luis re: the misspellings


Explanation:
The correct spelling in the original would be: Buenas tardes. Qué tal? Encantado/a (depending on the sex of the talker).

I'd translate it as: "Good afternoon. What's up? Nice to meet you" (the latter probably when talking to a different person than before).
