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.
Branch of a long-running chain serving Tex-Mex staples in a hacienda-style setting.

I had an amazing time and service here, the staff, manager, and host were very nice, attentive, and respectful. They make you feel comfortable and at home and i would definitely recommend coming here. I loved the food, service, and timing.

I am very picky when it comes to mexican food so I will say that the food was very average. In my opinion it is not very authentic but presentation is good for a commercial style mexican restaurant. For being a party of 6 and the restaurant having 4 other tables of 4 people average I think our food came out a little slow. Our server was awesome by 100% I know i will return mainly because of our service.

I haven’t been here in about 12 years. My memory of this place was that the salsa was so good, I bought a bottle and the food was pretty decent. Well, we walked in today and were greeted and seated promptly… That was probably the highlight of our visit.
The atmosphere is what I expected/remembered… Mexican themed, nice. Our server arrived and was friendly, took our drink order and went on her way. I felt like I had to wash my hands after touching the menus though. They brought our chips and they had an odd taste, can’t describe it but I wasn’t impressed. The salsa was not what I remembered, it was more like tomato sauce, my son said that and he’s a teenager but I agreed. We placed our order and she left. Our food seemed to take forever, at LEAST 30 minutes. We had two servings of chips by this time. We witnessed 3 groups of people come in and get seated after we had our chips on our table and they got their food before us. One thing I did notice was that everybody’s food came out at the same time, despite the other groups that staggered in after us at different times. So, why did we wait so long and get served last (OUR food was the last of the train of food that came out to everyone). We started eating and my wife said her food was warm, not hot. She ordered Carne Asada, which she did not like. Son ordered steak fajitas, just meat and a few onions, no bell peppers? I ordered chicken monterrey which was pretty weak. We all agreed the rice tasted old, the refried beans were decent, my wife’s charro beans had no flavor(I tasted and agree). The quality of the food has completely disappeared. Then the server came and asked if we needed more drinks (we were just picking at our food by this time), she SHOULD have noticed we were done but we told her our drinks were fine and so she left. We never saw her again, at our table but I saw her sitting in a booth in the other room while we were looking around, making it obvious that I was ready to leave. I even stood up at the booth for a few minutes . We waited 20 minutes a bill, that never came. I had to go to the front hostess and ask for the bill or we were walking out. Boy, she jumped after I said that and had it in our hand in less than 60 seconds. I didn’t expect authentic Mexican food, honestly, I didn’t even expect the best quality but this food was trash. Sorry guys, do better. Period.

If I’m not mistaken this is my first time eating here and it was a deep exhale of relief. Not many restaurants these days mandate excellent customer service and food that is thoroughly cooked and enjoyable. We ordered the chicken quesadillas with a side of refried beans and a spanish rice, and the pico de gallo beef enchiladas with charro beans and spanish rice. We shall return!

Feleipe was such a gentleman! Amazing service. My very picky mother really loved her chile relleno and street tacos! My whole family loved the salsa they have here, not too watery, and enough garlic. I had a plate of pork tamales with cheese and beans and rice. I loved the food here. The atmosphere was very nostalgic for my mother with the dolls with dresses she wore when she was younger. Again, Feleipe was an amazing server! He took caare of us the whole time, apologizing for any of our inconveniences. He also made sure to fix anything if an item was late or forgotten. 9.5/10 food, 9/10 service, 8/10 atmosphere.

Probably the worst Mexican food we have ever had. Our food arrived at our table in less than two minutes after we ordered indicating our food was precooked and it was. My fajitas were horrible, the meat was dry with no taste, the onions slimy and overcooked with two slices of bell green pepper. My wife’s chicken enchiladas were just as bad, dry and with no taste.

This is a at minimum very good place to take the family while Christmas shopping or any date and even just for lunch by yourself. We walked in at 730 pm during the busiest shopping time of the year and got a booth immediately. Also we were greeted immediately upon entering. We had a young waitress that was very attentive to us throughout. The chips and salsa are honestly some of the best I’ve had…. Ever. Atmosphere was nice and quiet. The food me and my date had was a Ruth plate if my memory is right. The meal came with a puffy taco that was delicious and crispy even though I ate it after the other items. Other items included a enchilada, refrieds and rice. All food was temperature extremely hot and thats a good thing. Overall perfect dining experience to be honest. The manager even came to the table and was oddly attentive as well by checking the quality of food and service. BRAVO to this team and I’ll be a repeat customer every time I’m in Burleson. Great experience.
