El Fenix

Great ambiance. Excellent service . Delicious food. WEDNESDAY would be a good day to go for the enchiladas special. Chips and sauce are simply amazing. Highly recommended

The service is out of this world!! I have never been so impressed with customer service. Food was very fresh. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis.

Great enchiladas ! But don't bother w/ guacamole (they fill the dish w/ shredded lettuce & put a layer of guac on top to make you think you're getting a decent amount) or queso (velveeta taste).

Black beans are vegetarian ; rice (cooked in chicken stock ) & refried beans are not. Great service, happy & friendly staff .

It's a great Tex-Mex spot! I got the tortilla soup and salad which was heavier than I expected but still delicious.

The original home of old-style Tex-Mex, downtown's El Fenix location is famous for its service and classic, affordable menu . [Eater 38 Member]

You can't beat the original El Fenix for quality Tex Mex and ambiance...especially if you have out-of-town friends to impress.

The shredded roast beef chimichanga is the BEST EVER!! It's my absolute favorite dish here! And ask for Benjamin! He's an awesome waiter !

Since 1918, original owner Miguel Martinez's El Fenix has been reeling in the Tex-Mex faithful. Read more

Food was pretty good. Service wasn't horrible but wasn't the best either. Tortilla chips were amazing and extremely addicting. One of the best restaurant salsas I've had.

The fajitas are great! Lose weight but still eat great food I can help. www.plexusofhouston.com

The chicken enchiladas with green chili verde are the way to go

BEST MEXICAN EVER!!!! Everything's good. I got Maximillion's Delight. No complaints!

They have the best chips ever. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Ample parking and can seat very large groups

Save room for dessert , the churros con chocolate are amazing.

Excellent Tex-Mex, grab a bite to eat after touring the Perot Museum across the street.

Ask for Diego he's the best! chipotle chicken enchiladas and sour cream chicken enchiladas are on point, order them!

Everything is excellent. Can't go wrong no matter what you order

Love the food but service is really going down hill .... the hostess , literially just threw our menus on the table and kept walking, not a word?

Best Mexican restaurant in Dallas! Cheese enchiladas are awesome! Awesome margaritas too!

The fajitas are delicious.

Great food! Had the tampico platter, good price and tasted delicious

Great space upstairs, large with its own bar , ideal for private parties.

I agree...voted Dallas best margarita !

Just had the fire roasted queso , awesome. Getting ready for my como plate, enchilados, tamales and chalupas . Bueno!!

The atmosphere reminds me of San Antonio. Food is pretty decent.

Love El Fenix - authentic mexican food . I'm usually stuck on the nachos . Anything else I've ventured to try has been great. Read more

The original. Still so good.

Great service! Food comes fast!

$3.49 margaritas ! They are amazing! Not too sweet.

When checking out say hi to Pandora. She is full of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent!

Had the hatch chili tamales ... Little spicy for me but I'm a whimp. Lol

Good fast service at lunch on Wednesdays! Get the enchilada special $4.99!

Yes I did order the burger and fries

Fast friendly delicious

I always order off menu : The Jalisco.

Avoid at all costs. Food was terrible and the service was less than uninspired and more lazy and rude than I have ever seen. The owners don't take this place seriously anymore. Sad. Pass.

Love their chips , thin & crispy but not hard or stale!!

The shredded beaf chimichanga with queso is my favorite!!

The best El Fenix in the metroplex by far!!

Nachos & queso . All good. Especially the grilled chicken salad but who goes for a salad ? Tamales ok too.

Taken me back to when I was a kid :)

Queso is amazing!!!

Convenient lunch after visiting the Perot Museum .

OMG! These brisket tacos are amazing!

Guacamole is amazing.. & that's just our app

The best chips

Wednesdays=$5 enchilada special: Rice , beans and cheese enchilada plate. If you bring Alli, you're on your own.

Go on a Wednesday for the awesome enchiladas deal!
