" I recently had dinner at El Fenix and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant decor struck me as reminiscent of traditional Mexican culture. The chips served with salsa were fresh and addictive. For my main course, I had the chicken fajitas, which were delectable and packed full of flavor. The service was prompt, and my server, Ada, was very knowledgeable about the menu. She made some great recommendations for salsas that paired well with my meal. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough, especially for those looking for authentic Tex-Mex! I will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Fenix, but my last meal was a bit disappointing. The guacamole was bland, and the tacos I ordered were overly greasy. I was hoping for a vibrant dining experience but was let down. I appreciate the friendly service, though. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I don't think I will be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for a fiesta, El Fenix is the place to go! The food comes fast, and the vibrant decor energizes the dining experience. I adored the chicken torta I had, it was packed with fresh ingredients! I do wish the dessert menu was more extensive, but that won't stop me from returning for their delightful starters! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to El Fenix was a mixed bag. The food was decent; I enjoyed the brisket tacos, but felt they were a bit dry. The service was attentive, but it took a while for our orders to arrive, which can be frustrating when you're hungry. The ambiance, however, was warm and inviting, which made the wait easier. I believe there's great potential for the restaurant, but I hope they can improve on the consistency of their food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner last week. The spiciness of the salsa was just right, not too overwhelming. I ordered their brisket nachos and they were heavenly! There’s ample parking, the staff was cordial and attentive, and I loved the rustic decor. Even might pop in for lunch sometime soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Fenix holds a special place in my heart. The chips they serve are always fresh, and the salsa is to die for! I am especially fond of their tamales, which are hard to find anywhere else. Whenever I'm back in Dallas, this will always be on my list. The mixed crowd and lively atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. I recommend it to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Fenix is incredible! We came for a large family dinner, and everything from the appetizers to desserts was phenomenal. The server was attentive and took care of our large group's needs without any issue. I adore the tortilla chips, and don't even get me started on the flan—it's the best! This is a place where I will always be spending my evenings. " (*Curated Review*)
