El Fenix

Soooo good!!! Stopped in for lunch, you know a place is good when the restaurant is busy. The decor inside is very lively, and the food was delicious. I got a cup of the chicken tortilla soup, really generous for being a smaller portion, it was delicious. I also got an appetizer sampler, great selection and it was all fantastic. I can't wait to go back to start trying all of the other items on the menu! Oh, and the chips and salsa were really good too.

Best Tex-Mex food we have ever experienced! I managed 13 Mexican Restaurants for over 20 years and can say that El Fenix at North West location is now my all-time fav! Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious!! Kudos to our very sweet, prompt and excellent server, Ada, and also to the manager, Miss Gigi, who is doing a fine job. The place is super clean. We were seated immediately and served promptly. Well done! We will be back on our next trip to Dallas!

I love El Fenix! I used to live 5 miles from this location and it holds a lot of good memories for me. The food and atmosphere hold a lot of nostalgia. Great food (menu hasn't changed much) and a clean restaurant. So happy to have visited this location recently for a family/friends gathering. Service and food were still wonderful and the staff was excellent in accommodating our large gathering.

My friend and I venture here most Fridays during happy hour, and everytime the experience is awesome. The food is very delicious, the service is very friendly, and we just love our waiter Bernaldo, he is so nice and courteous, he works so hard he needs a raise. They greet you so nice when you enter, in the atmosphere is very clean and nice. I highly recommend this place for a good casual fun and feast, at a cost efficient way. Keep up the great work!

Laura S customer service was GREAT!! She took my order in a timely manner , brought my food out quickly and served hot and fresh. She was also very nice and disposed of our dirty dishes as we finished very quickly. She made our dining experience very enjoyable. The manager GiGi was also GREAT!! 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!

Probably one of the largest restaurants I’ve been in, which isn’t a selling point, just an observation. It’s massive, and you wouldn’t know from the exterior. The food was good, no complaints. Warm chips brought to the table were good. Service was fine, not inattentive, but we eventually had to stand up and start putting our coats on to get the server to bring us our check.

Gigi and Celine delivered superb service today! We came in with a party of 15 for my mother-in-law's birthday and they didn't disappoint. They was able to take care of everyone and we were all happy and satisfied with the service. We definitely plan to return! Thank you!!!!

Went to El Fenix for birthday celebration with whole family. We had 24 of us. Service was great, waiters and manager were very attentive to make sure we had what we needed. Family has been going to El Fenix since I was a kid and glad to spend time there for this celebration. Thank you!

El Fenix tastes like my childhood. Some of fondest memories are as going to El Fenix as a kid with my family.

It truly is the ORIGINAL TexMex food!!

Is it fancy? Nope!

A culinary journey? Not even close.

But, if you want the best authentic, original TexMex, El Fenix is the place to go!!

From the best chips and salsa in Texas to world class cheese enchiladas, they deliver every time!!

Absolutely worst service we ever had at this location.

Friday afternoon (2/16)....bossing waitress with an attitude too boot.

Charming restaurant....we will be back k but hope we don't have same last waiting on us.

Manager Gigi runs a wonderful location. So professional to see her and other managers walking around speaking to ALL of the tables. Gave us a 5 star restaurant feel. Server Diego was so good I will be asking for him each time I return from now on. One of the best dinning establishments in DFW.

Best margaritas in Dallas. Our server kept us in chips and drinks and the food was delicious.

The Wednesday enchilada special remains a Dallas favorite decades on. Tasty TexMex with endless chips & salsa served hot and fast with a smile is what keeps El Fenix so popular.

Such good food
Worth the hype for sure. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff.

El Fenix has always been me and my mom's favorite Mexican Restaurant. She died on December 1st. I will always love El Fenix and it brings back many memories of my wonderful mom!

Authentic Tex Mex taste. Old time service. Family type place.

The friendliest and fastest working Staff In Dallas, no lie. They always deserve more than a 20% tip and I’m always happy to give more. Their enchiladas are bomb and the Sopapilla is so tasty! Yummy dessert! They have great food specials too!
