" Had lunch at El Fenix today with my coworkers. The service was quite slow, which was disappointing considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. However, the food was quite enjoyable, especially the fajitas, which had a nice flavor. The atmosphere was pleasant enough; I'd visit again but hopefully with faster service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The decor at El Fenix is stunning, and the atmosphere is terrific. However, I was let down by the food quality. My enchiladas were not as good as I hoped. Service was decent, but I felt there could be more focus on the customers. The chips and salsa were great, though! Maybe better luck on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at El Fenix! The environment is vibrant and inviting, really enjoyed the ambiance. The food was good, especially the salsa, but there was room for improvement in the flavors of some dishes. Overall, I’d try it again based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch with friends, and El Fenix did not impress. The chicken in my salad was dry, and the salsa was bland. The service was nice enough, but I felt ignored at times. The atmosphere was nice and casual, so it's a great place to hang out, but I wouldn't rely on the food. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Fenix is a charming little spot! I love the murals and decor which reflects Texas culture perfectly. The chips with salsa were fresh and crispy. I tried the brisket fajitas and they were tender and flavorful. Although the service was a bit slow due to the crowd, the hospitality made up for it. My friends and I had a great time overall!

" After hearing so much about El Fenix, I decided to pay a visit. The place has a charming atmosphere, but the food was not as great as I expected. My tacos were lacking in flavor and the portion sizes felt small given the price. Service was okay, though they could have been more attentive. I might return to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Fenix offers a very cozy atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal. I was happy with the portions of my meal, the prices are reasonable. The staff was courteous, though they could pick up the pace a little. The food was decent—nothing extraordinary. I’d say it’s worth at least one visit. " (*Curated Review*)
