What happened to a once popular restaurant? Our experience was abysmal. Our waiter was no where to be seen for the first 20 mins we waited. He had 3 tables to wait on and we all felt neglected. Chips brought to us were complete crumbs. What in the world? The food was subpar. I guess the cook stopped caring. Apparently the owner doesn’t care either. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant until they get their act together.

I have been a customer of this El Fenix since before the burn in 1999. I always enjoy meals I have ate here with family and friends alike.

Tonight was awesome, my mom and I were served by a sweet young man named Jose and he did a wonderful job. He reminded me of someone I taught as a teacher a few years ago, very polite and wonderful manners.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Thank you so much for the great customer service all of these years!

I had a great experience with my mom for lunch. Frankie served us and she provided us with great service as our fajitas came out sizzling hot and the rice and beans were piping hot.

I love that the silverware is still wrapped in cloth red napkins as a lot of other restaurants cut out cloth napkins. Overall the staff, food and atmosphere is 5 stars.

Have not been in 30 years and just like I remember! If you are in the mood for very mild Tex-Mex, this is the place. Frankie gave great service.

Restrooms need to be refreshed. Quite a bit of odor, too

The food was actually really good. I had never had a puffy taco and it was good. The margaritas were amazing. Our waitress was outstanding. She was so nice. I wish I remembered her name. We will definitely be back.

One of the first Mexican Tex-Mex food restaurants in the metroplex. I wasn't born in those years, but I have heard stories from my older family of these places. El Fenix, El Chico, Mexican Inn, and so many other mom and pop places that have come and gone. All have the same basic menu of enchiladas, tacos,burritos, or fajitas. Variations of them but plain and simple food that my grandmother made for our family growing up. Everyone has their favorite dish that can be found at any Mexican food establishment. It's more your preference of taste or seasonings used. El Fenix has continually met standards for so many years. I go for basic cheese and onion enchiladas with rice and beans. Always a satisfying meal for lunch.

My favorite Tex-Mex. Delicious food, friendly and professional service, welcoming atmosphere.

I've been eating here for more than thirty years, and it's always been fabulous.

The prices are very reasonable, too, which really helps these days.

Highly recommended!
