"Very few restaurants have the staying power to celebrate even a quarter-century of service, but El Fenix celebrated their Centennial! Founded in 1918, by Mike Martinez, a Mexican immigrant, El Fenix is credited as “The Originator of Tex-Mex Cuisine.” It has been named an “All American Icon” by Nation’s Restaurant News and a must-see dining destination for visitors to North Texas. Acquired by Local Favorite Restaurants™ in 2008, El Fenix was refurbished with freshened interiors and a revamped menu, while maintaining its signature authentic elements."

Best Service I've seen in a restaurant! 3 kids and 2 adults for less than $100 with 2 appetizers and tip so definitely reasonable prices. 100000% recommend.Food: 4/5

We have dined at the Greenville location off and on since they opened a few years ago and have dined there twice in the last week, yes, it was that good! The last two times have been awesome and a wonderful experience! The service was fantastic and the food was fresh, great quality and delicious. Ismael runs a clean and inviting location. The staff that waited on us were some of the nicest and tentative people at any restaurant we have ever dined at. Special shout out to Ismael for running a great location and to his staff Kellsie, Miguel, Emma and Cleme for a job very well done. We will definitely be back, soon!  Highly recommend!

Great food!  Love their chips and salsa

This place was great.  They were backed up because not enough staff but the manager was awesome.  I understand perfectly.  Not their fault and the food and service were great.  Just slow. Everyone must love them.  They were busy on a weeknight.

The chips were on par with Blue Goose in McKinney. Very warm and fresh. My food was amazing as always. I have never been a fan of Mexican food until I ate here. The food and atmosphere are top notch. I don't see how TaMollys is staying in business with this competition!

Our first time was today and we loved it!! The food was awesome. I had chili relleno and it was pretty big and tasted great! My husband had fish tacos and the tacos were pretty big too. Also had a spicy margarita...yumm. The service was quick and our waiter was friendly, polite, and quick.

Perhaps it was just a bad day, but I have to say I was less than impressed with the experience. It was a Monday evening so the restaurant wasn't really busy. We were seated right away, but it took a long time for someone to come by our table to even get just our drink orders. Looked like there was one server handling the entire restaurant, so maybe they were just short staffed. Service was very friendly all around.  Food was average. It came out 5-7 minutes after we ordered it. Rice and beans were very dry. Enchiladas were ok, but not exceptional. Some of the items in the Botana appetizer sampler we ordered were a bit overcooked.  Overall it wasn't terrible, but I don't feel compelled to come back again.

I usually don’t have a problem with this establishment but what I witnessed last evening I can’t forget. I watched a table get up to leave and an older waitress started cleaning the table. I watched her pick up two cups of unused salsa and carry them to the station where they do the tickets and place the salsa on a shelf where they keep a tray with salsa and pass them out to patrons. My suspicions were affirmed waiter went to the same area and returned with a cup of salsa for me when I was running low. This is unacceptable. There’s no telling if the salsa was tampered with at the table or sneezed on. Do you really need to save unused salsa? I saw that the cups were full that were retrieved from the table just vacated but once at a table it should be thrown out.

Honestly, our experience the last 3 times have been very poor and we nearly passed by not to dine here again.. glad we stopped because our server Rebecca tonight redeemed our experience. I will only ask for her area on all future visits. Fantastic service and hats off. Great job! Thank you Rebecca.

Our server Shanti S was phenomenal. She was friendly and got our order in and out in a jiffy. She also got our special requests done with no problem. Highly recommend
