Ana was our waitress and she was one of the best we've ever had anywhere. She was attentive, didn't forget requests and overall very polite and accomodating. The food was great, particularly the chips and salsa, they were outstanding and the place as a whole has a cozy charm about it. We definitely found our favorite Go-to local texmex place.

"Muchas Gracias" to the Manager and Staff who allowed me to invade their dining room with 49 guests to celebrate my 66th birthday. The Food was High Quality, the Service was impeccable, and the wait staff so very generous in their efforts to please. Many of us in that group, have been coming to "this" El Fenix since the 1950's. What better place could we choose to celebrate than a place that is comfortable and familiar and wonderful. Thank you and I hope to be around for the 8th Annual Mid-Summer Birthday Bash, Next July 22nd.

The best location is at Casa Linda Shopping Center. (Been to them all!) Right behind that is the original downtown Dallas. Both outstanding and very deserving of a 5 stars! The worse one is in McKinney. The service is horrible there! It's the only one we have ever had such a bad experience that we will never return there.

My wife and I love El Fenix. The service has always been outstanding. The food is always top quality. I have yet to have a bad experience at this restaurant. I always leave full and the price is always right. Side note ... Wednesday is 5.99 enchilada night.

Maybe I come here too often! Today my waitress, Luna, had my drink in her hand before I even ordered it. So I asked her to guess what meal I would order and she knew! Love this place!

I have been going there since I moved to Pleasant Grovre 1978. The food is consistent and very good. Never sent anything back to the kitchen. Wonderful staff. Excellent food.

Rocky was our waiter. He is always happy to see us. Excellent service. I must say that we go often enough that they recognize us.

This is one of the best locations. Service is tops and the sausa is the best out of all the locations.

I don't know what these bad reviewers were thinking. But to each their own. My husband and I both had the El Jefe platter. OMG!! Fantastic loved the food. Our waitress was fast, and amazing. Will definitely be back 😁. Wish I could give more stars. This was after I finished lol. Amazing!!

We arrived right at opening on a Friday and it wasn’t crowded at all. We were seated immediately and our server came to the table as soon as we sat down. The chips and salsa were delicious. We ordered from the lunch menu and were very pleased. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our server was a sweet older lady who checked on us often. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, beef taco with rice and beans. The white cream sauce was so good!!! My margarita swirl was also tasty and refreshing. This was our second visit, and we will definitely return when in town.

This El Fenix is a very one to visit and have a great lunch. We had the delicious sour cream chicken enchiladas. I was so hungry though, I cut right into them so I didn’t get a picture lol. Anyhow, here’s a picture of our tasty dessert. It’s always so nice to have the servers that know exactly what you need and anticipate all of your drink refills and chips plus salsa and that you don’t have to be asking them for things, they anticipate them. That’s always a refreshing point.

Food was phenomenal. So hot had to cool down. I liked that. The plates are extremely hot. Gotta be careful. Music is a little too loud to talk. But overall, I couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. It's one of the best El Fenix's, I've been

We had a party of 7, and they had chips and salsa ready for us when we arrived. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They have the best chips I've ever had. I also had their tamale and a sour cream and chicken enchilada along with mineral water with lime and tajin. It was the perfect meal at the perfect price. The staff allowed us to stay about 30 minutes after our meal so we could continue to catch up.

I was hungry for good Mexican food, I guess the cool, rainy weather got me in the mood. I hadn't been to El Fenix in a long time. I walked in, got a table quickly and the server was there right away. The menu has changed since I was last there. I wanted to try something new. I had a salad, taco, and tostado & my drink, plus flour tortillas and butter. My meal was there at the table before I expected. I was disappointed my server wasn't attentive to keeping my drink full. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Very delicious!! The employees were friendly and welcoming. Thanks, El Fenix!! You gave me a delightful experience!!
