Dinner at El Fenix. Check out my brisket tacos in flour tortillas with a slice of avocado paired with rice and beans.
This is my all time favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. The Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas and the Cheese Enchiladas are my favorite. They also have the BEST chips and salsa.
Ate dinner here, unlimited chips and salsa that was awesome! Food was authentic and large portion. Service was 5 out of 5 stars as well. Parking cost us $10.00 for two hours but was worth it.
Just had some great dishes from El Fénix. The "El Jefe" plate was great as it allowed me to have 4 enchiladas that were all prepared differently. I ordered the Brisket Burrito which was even better than the enchiladas. Great portions for cheap! I unfortunately did not dine inside and had it delivered so I can only comment on the foods presentation, taste, and value. Food looked exactly like it did in the pictures online and tasted even better. The food arrived quickly and was still hot. I'd definitely order from here again and would like to eat at the establishment to get a feel of the restaurants vibe.
If you live in DFW, I get that it can be easy to take El Fenix for granted. It's your basic tex-mex, been around forever, there are lots of options out there. But if you live east of the Mississippi or north of Dallas, as Lyle Lovett would say, there are still lots of places that are Mexican in name, but pale to even the most basic tex-mex in the heart of Texas. As Texans relocated to Tennessee, good tex-mex is gonna be one of the things to miss most about Texas, and while El Fenix doesn't rise to the bar of my beloved Maudie's in Austin, It's really pretty dang good. The salsa and chips are excellent, I need lots more than those tiny bowls of salsa initially provided. Puffy tacos are very crispy, and make a perfect tex-mex salad course. Cheese enchiladas covered in chile con carne, with rice and refried beans, yes please. This original #1 location has the classic vibes; it's a pleasant hacienda for drinks and dinner. Service is fast and efficient, the place runs like the well oiled (greased?) machine it is. Y'all locals are welcome to be more picky, but it's 5 stars for me.
excellent service. confusing parking good chicken fajitas. too bad cilantro in guacamole. good chicken sour cream enchiladas. very good pork tamale.
Used to come here for lunch fairly often. Service is always friendly, and the place always looks so festive (probably because of the decor). Food is not bad considering the price. Come here on Wednesday and get their enchiladas special! Sometimes they have free sopapillas and mariachi playing for the guests. It's the perfect spot to have lunch or dinner after you visit the nearby museum! PS. They have their own parking lot, and it's free parking for their customers.
