My daughter went out early this morning and returned with a box of baked goods and pastries from El…read moreFenix. So, before breakfast commenced and the coffee from Chiapas was poured for those attending, we opened the box to discover the colorful mix she had chosen. The flaky brown and tan biscuits were the first plate we tried with our homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese. I tasted mine plain at first to get a sense of the composition. The resounding taste of butter in the near bread told me of the quality was on par with any I had enjoyed before. Biscuits are not difficult to make, but doing so consistently is important. Then we tasted the dark brown gingerbread pigs, known as "puerquitos", which were gloriously fresh with a dusting of confectionery sugar. I was impressed again and the subtle taste of piloncillo found its way into every taste. While it's mildly unfair to review a place based solely on its takeout, El Fenix made a very good impression on me, and I look forward to visiting in the near future.

For funsies, we decided to pick up a dozen cupcakes to take with us. Talk about variety! But first, the customer experience of walking in: You are IMMEDIATELY hit with the smell of cake. Sweet, delicious cake. I imagine that's what heaven smells like. It's a small space, but the group makes the best it can with social distancing. Everyone is wearing a mask, and a hand sanitizing station is by the door and also by the register. All the cupcakes are protected by glass, and the colder sweets are protected in a clear fridge. And as appetizing as the cold cakes looked, c'mon. We were here for the cupcakes. They're legendary in the Valley. Our selection only had one duplicate: The lemon blueberry. And honestly, these massive muffin-sized cupcakes are huge. They're huge, dense, moist, and did I mention huge? They maintain their cupcake flavor without coming off as too muffin-like. And with eclectic toppings like HOT CHEETOS WHAT, decadent brownies, cherries, and candy corn (they can't all be winners, I guess), there's something for everyone here. My absolute favorites, in no particular order: Red velvet (Classic, delicious, traditional), strawberry (not cloyingly sweet, still fruity), German chocolate (ohmygodddd), and chocolate with a massive brownie plopped on top (guaranteed to satisfy your resident chocoholic). In fact, I loved these cupcakes so much I stopped by again before my drive back to San Antonio. The four and a half drive back was, indeed, torture. The smell was all-encompassing and you bet I tore into one as soon as I got home.

My husband and I ran into this place when we were visiting McAllen; it reminded us of local Houstonian places of the same caliber. The chilaquiles I had were one of the best I've had in Texas; and the mimosas were too, it wasn't bogged down with fake additives, this place added freshly- squeezed fruit juice (who even does that anymore?). Our server was soooooo patient and sweet as we navigated through the menu, wanting to try every piece of heaven from this place. We loved that the kitchen was "open-concept" and we could see the chefs LIVE & UPFRONT--but the place is small, so be ready to wait, but SO WORTH IT! Traveling to McAllen soon just for this place

The employee explained each pastry to us, even if we were familiar with them already. We'll definitely stop by again.

We arrived at about 11:30am and selected a maple iced donut and a chocolate iced, cream filled donut. Service was self serve. The price was a bit high at $6 for the two based on weight. Both were fairly dry and lacked sweetness. They also serve savory products. Perhaps they are better.
