We’ve been to this location over several years & the Food, Atmosphere & Service have been consistently excellent. Love their Piccadillo Beef recipes😋😋 Beef Taco Salad for me & Beef Enchiladas for my husband.
December 2025
We visit El Fenix Several times a month. The food is Consistent. What We really enjoy is the waitress that takes care of us all the time, Nohemy. She has gotten to know, family, and asks about them. She pays attention to detail and always make sure that our order was perfect. I’ve heard that she is training to become a manager, and I can’t imagine a more perfect fit! Her smile lights up a room, and she is gentle and kind. What a win for this restaurant.
November 2025
We called ahead and the head waiter or whatever he was said he can get me right in. Met me at the door. Made sure the waitress took good care of us. I’m ashamed I don’t remember his name, young man, slender, sharp guy. I guess the margaritas were that good. I WILL be back soon
