" Had a disappointing experience on my last visit. While the food tasted alright, I felt that the tacos were smaller than what I had been served in the past. Service felt rushed, and the waitress seemed overwhelmed. I'd probably give them another chance since the place had been reliable before, but it was a letdown this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I simply cannot recommend El Fénix enough! Their breakfast burritos are the epitome of great comfort food; they hit the spot every time. The burritos are packed with flavor and fresh ingredients, keeping me coming back. You should give this place a try if you haven't already. The owners are also quite lovely, creating an atmosphere that feels like home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love visiting El Fénix! The tamales are out of this world; you just can't find this authenticity everywhere. The service can be a hit or miss, but it doesn’t ruin my craving. They have a cozy seating area, and while the prices have been creeping up, they’re well worth it for the flavors you get. I will continue coming back, for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today was an unfortunate visit to El Fénix. I ordered a classic torta and received something that had missing elements, yet was charged full price. When raising my concern, the staff responded rudely. I used to enjoy coming here for their authentic flavors, but this has left a sour impression. I truly hope they can prioritize customer satisfaction more moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable meal at El Fénix. The nachos were delicious and loaded with cheese, and the atmosphere was cozy for a casual lunch. I would give a higher rating if they worked on speeding up the service, but I'm willing to forgive it if the food quality remains constant. Overall, worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about El Fénix! The breakfast burritos are legendary – I could eat them every day. They genuinely feel home-made, packed with real ingredients, and bursting with flavor. The only issue I’ve encountered is that sometimes the service can be a bit slow if it’s busy. Nevertheless, the quality of the food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" I often come to El Fénix for their breakfast burritos, and I always enjoy the mix of flavors. Their chorizo is particularly stand out. However, I half-heartedly mention the need for a bit more attention to detail as my burrito has been pre-made a couple of times instead of being freshly made as expected. Once it’s personalized, it’s absolutely delicious though! " (*Curated Review*)
