Best service & AMAZING food! I believe our server was named Brian. Super friendly guy. He received an extra $50 tip & a Nothing Bunt Cake for the amazing service he gave for my grandmother’s 73rd birthday. The hostess sat us in the back immediately, upon request for that area. I couldn’t have asked for a better evening. We went on the evening of Feb. 18, 2024.

Giving a one star only because the service we receive was horrible! Went for national Margarita day and our waiter was very pushy and rude. He is an older guy that works there. My husband and daughter love the food and go often so if we go back I will make sure we have a lady serving us but the food was delicious just the customer service part is what’s lacking. I couldn’t wait to pay and get out of there. He just killed my whole vibe for going there to start with. Needless to say I didn’t even enjoy my Margarita that I thought I would for national margarita day I just left it there at the table. Waste of money yes, but I’ll remember this horrible experience next time. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! This place is super great! I don't usually leave a review about the tortillas chips but this time... Yes! Very well done. The meal ingot was tortilla fajita. I oved it! The beans were very well done unlike other places where you feel like you're eating a bean shake, but here all the food was perfect, well cooked and flavor was so yummy! I highly recommend this restaurant. It's very well cleaned, tables, floors and it looks fantastic! It makes you feel you're not in Texas, but somewhere in Mexico! Great job!

Want to try the oldest Mexican Food Restaurant in the U.S.? Well maybe I should say the oldest Tex Mex - anyway it’s El Fenix! Not that the menu has stayed the same all these years, of course it’s been modified and updated … but my point is you can’t go wrong with El Fenix, if you wanna try Tex Mex as close to original 19th Century food recipes you need to come here. It’s interesting to note that the El Fenix reputation, famously brought 20th Century celebrities to Dallas to sample these then rare plates. Always crowded on a Sunday, The El Fenix restaurants cater to family dining and the church crowd. The setting is comfortable with only a touch of the facade. Most meals will be familiar to you - the complimentary chips and salsa, cheese enchiladas, a burrito for the kids - very familiar dishes, no big surprises like menudo soup…I don’t think. So many of my reviews shy away from the food itself which may seem counter intuitive to most readers, but I find that I usually focus on and recall - the dining experience. For example, todays lunch was with kin folk and Ill always look back on this lunch as “family time”, that’s what I’ll remember, not the fajitas. It’s who you spend time with. And in a restaurant, any restaurant you inherently want the host to “double click” that memory. El Fenix really is a part of culinary history and a history exclusive to Texas, you should try it. But I bet years from now when you reflect on your time here, it won’t be the enchiladas that spark your memory…it will be the important people that you spent time with that you’ll be thinking about.

I was Surprised for an early Birthday dinner by my family and I was so satisfied with the location, atmosphere and our Server was very attentive and nice, I hate I forgot his name. It was towards the back on 10-18-2023 at 6pm, I hope you know who he was. Our dinner was delicious, everyone was satisfied with their meal. I most definitely will go back to this location.

Generic, overpriced mexican food. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, per se, but it's definitely nothing special. Just tastes like any other Mexican place. Service is great, though. One thing of note- not the best place to order take away from. Pretty much got black guac to go which has to be the most unappetizing thing lmao.
