    Sizzling Combo Fajitas with added shrimp
    Laudencio M.

    Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. I wish I could remember her name so she could get a shout out. Stated with a K I believe. Salsa is ok. Didn't really have flavor and I prefer hot or room temperature salsa. Not ice cold. Food was good. Nothing outstanding but typical Mexican restaurant food. Taco was good and my wife said her shrimp were great. Nice looking ambiance. I guess the staff was the best part of the experience. I'd still go back again.

    The best chips and salsa.

    El Fenix has been a Foet Worth institution for decades. I usually go to the Camp Bowie location. However, my kiddo works in Burleson so we decided to stop by this location after her shift ended. Happy to report that this El Fenix is every bit as g99d as the store on Camp Bowie. Everything we had was just great. I had the Tamales and my kiddo ordered a sampler plate with flautas and quesadillas. A fantastic meal for both of us. Highly recommend this establishment if you enjoy Tex-Mex cuisine.

    I used to love this restaurant about 10 years ago. I would go to the original one downtown every time I went to the world trade market several times a year. I happen to be stopping through Fort Worth/Dallas area and since this one was on the way... I stopped and ate. Looking forward to a delicious meal..... The chips were the same as they were many years ago however, their food all tasted frozen and not fresh and they served mission tortillas from H-E-B. This place is supposed to be a homemade authentic Mexican restaurant and my white mama could've made better Mexican food.

    This is my first time to this location and we had a wonderful experience minus the hostess. No one was at the podium, so do we seat ourselves or wait. The young man passing by ensured someone would be with us shortly. Cool. A table for two please, before we could even get comfortable our waitress was there to take our drink order. A Sangria swirl, that's my go to margarita. It was so good. So I had to have another one. Don't judge me. I loved the chips and salsa. The chips taste so light and fresh. I could eat the bag. We ordered the El Jefe, making the substitutions to our liking and our Waitress Michelle w/trainee Amy were amazingly patient through it all. I ate it all, NO Leftovers. I'll worry about that later. I love how the staff worked together in all areas of the restaurant. ie: cleaning tables, bringing food out, serving drinks and finding the machine to cash us out, back to no hostess when we came in, she was bringing a to-go order up from the kitchen for someone. We arrived at a good time, not crowded, everything seemed to be in order, it was clean and the customer service was amazing. We didn't feel rushed to leave after eating, I still had to finish my drink.

    Went to eat here and the food was really bad. Not seasoned and brought to the table cold. The margarita tasted like a power mix very sour.
