I came along with my Mom and her friends from junior high, the experience was amazing. Our server Brian was a sweetheart, and the manager just as nice and amazing. Very nice food, and atmosphere. Ask for Brian whenever you come, he was so attentive and patient. Amazing experience overall 10/10.

This El Fenix is always so delicious and the staff is very friendly. We come here often and enjoy it every time. It’s a bit of a drive for us and well worth it.

THE CHIPS ARE TERRIBLE! El Fenix was known for their light flavorful chips. NEW OWNERS send horrible ones. Now the staff has to wait ... perhaps 2 MORE weeks for a correction. 60+ years of consistent good meals! Very sad the new ownership doesn't appear to care! 10/2/2025

I didn't actually eat at this restaurant, I had food from this restaurant. The office I work at in Richardson brings in different restaurants each day to provide food for employees. The restaurants vary from day to day and week to week. You can order from a set menu and pick it up or, you can order from them when they set up in office. I saw that El Fenix was the featured restaurant that day and I've never eaten there so I was excited to try it. I ordered the combo meal with chicken tacos. It came with rice and beans. Overall, it was good considering it was food that they brought into our office and not directly from the restaurant. The portions were good and the price was fair. On the plus side, the portion size/value and convenience. On the negative side, I wish it came with some kind of salsa or pico de gallo because it could have used a little heat. The flavor was good but mild. The beans were very dry and could have used some salsa or something. I would guess if you ate in the restaurant the meal would have been served with chips and salsa. However, this way everything was extra. Chips and salsa, etc. And it would have been nice if it at least came with a small portion of chips and salsa.
