" The service at El Fenix was very good due to the friendly staff but the food didn't impress me as much. The carne asada tacos were decent; however, they lacked the flavorful punch I usually expect from a good Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa were good but I have tasted better elsewhere. Overall, I had an okay experience but I feel like they could step up their game in terms of food authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited many Tex-Mex restaurants, but the charm of El Fenix never gets old. The chips and salsa are a must-try – they are always fresh! I love their variety of seasoned dishes, especially the tacos al pastor. Although the service can be slow on busy nights, their staff always make up for it with their friendliness. A great place for family dinners or casual hangouts! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, I had the chimichanga which fell short of my expectations. It wasn't crispy and lacked the flavorful ingredients I was looking for. However, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere pleasant for a night out with friends. The drinks were decent, but I believe they could improve their dishes to match the vibrant energy that the restaurant radiates. " (*Curated Review*)

" We came in on a Friday evening for a casual dinner and the place was bustling! El Fenix had a vibrant atmosphere with a lot of energy. I ordered the seafood enchiladas and they were delightful, packed with fresh flavor. My partner got the beef fajitas that were served sizzling hot and plentiful. Service was fast and friendly. We also enjoyed a refreshing margarita. This is definitely a great spot for good Mexican flavor in the Arlington area! " (*Curated Review*)
