We noticed that none of the opposing team went out to eat after the game, I can only assume they were too humiliated to show their faces at this local spot. My guess is that they all drove a few miles down the road, to Buc-ee's where no one would recognize them. The food, the service, and the pure victory made for another incredible dining experience. One can only hope that this great restaurant won't be dragged down by their local elementary schools football team.

Our last visit we noticed both the recipe and the bowl they serve it in had changed, but it was still the most delicious flavor and we both loved the extra vegetables!

It used to be really good, some of the best Mexican food I'd had in this area, but now everything is full of what tastes like chili powder (salsa, charro beans, and black beans), or it has no flavor at all (chicken pipián) in the tacos. I brought my mom here for the first time with my kids because I'd been wanting to come back, and because I wanted her to enjoy it. I even told her the salsa was really good... I've had multiple good meals here in the past, but the food on this night was simply disappointing, and it was oddly loud and hard to hear, especially for my mom. The waiter was apologetic. Maybe it was an off night for the chef, but I do not plan to return. If the food quality could go back to the way it was when it first opened, I'd be here a lot. Please fix this. It's nice to have another good Mexican option in the area.

Strong 4 Stars....Go!…read more In Greenville, Texas on business and heading back to Dallas about lunch time when I spotted El Fenix. I realized it's Wednesday, which means the decades-old enchilada special is in play. Good enough for me, so I whipped into the convenient parking and started for the door. After new ownership took the helm a few years ago, I've been a less frequent customer. It's been years since I've been to an out-of-town unit. So, in the spirit of adventurous eating, I wanted to try this place. Crowded because of the location and probably the Wednesday special,I found out the food probably has something to do with it also. The Tex-Mex here is excellent. From the initial complementary chips and salsa to the chili con carne-covered cheese enchiladas, everything was excellent. The folks in Greenville are fortunate to have this El Fenix hitting on all cylinders. Go!

We've lived around here for ages and every single time we drove past, we'd say, "One day!" Well, that day came, and we bravely joined the queue, fully prepared for a long haul. To our absolute delight, we were whisked away to a table in barely 15 minutes! Can you believe it? I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner - that wait was nothing! As soon as we sat down, they brought out a glorious spread of chips, salsa, and refreshing waters. Our waiter was super friendly and gave us plenty of time to pore over the menu, which, let me tell you, is massive! They've got a fantastic selection, leaning heavily towards authentic Mexican dishes (which you know I adore!), but with some delicious Tex-Mex options thrown in too. We went all out and ordered a feast: sizzling fajitas, delectable street tacos, savory beef enchiladas, tasty chicken enchiladas, and a hearty stew meat burrito. Of course, we did the obligatory plate-passing to get a taste of everything. And honestly? Every single dish was out-of-this-world good! My absolute standout favorite had to be the beef enchiladas with their rich red sauce. It was so incredibly flavorful, and what I loved most was that they didn't drown it in queso - it was perfectly balanced and just, ah-mazing! A little tip if you're thinking of going: try to hit them up earlier in the day if you can, when it's less busy, and you'll practically walk right in. They've also got a full bar and some fun music playing overhead, adding to the whole vibe. Just a heads up, when it's packed, it can get a bit loud, but honestly, it just adds to the lively atmosphere. All in all, it was an absolutely delightful experience, and we're already planning our next visit!

We were sat immediately, chips and salsa and drinks came quickly. The chips were fresh and the salsa made with roasted veggies was super yummy. This is definitely more authentic Mexican than other nearby places. So good... We shared the "Table side Guacamole" and the flavor was excellent, although we laughed that it didn't specify which table it was made next to, as it was brought to us already prepared. The server helped me decide on a child relleno with fresh flour tortillas and my husband the Parrillada Especial. It was so much food and arrived quickly. The Parrillada could have easily fed 3-4 people. The prices were great for what you get! The chicken was marinated perfectly and all the flavors were all on point. The relleno was yummy and huge! I was pleasantly surprised at how good the rice was too! I wish I had gotten the server's name as she was very attentive and made the whole experience great. This would have been 5 stars for things like if the menus were clean and if the bathrooms were more ADA friendly and clean. All in all a very good experience though. Great first experience! We'll be back.
