El Fenix

I returned last night to this El Fenix restaurant, which was an old favorite of mine back when I lived in this neighborhood. At around 8:30 PM on a Monday night, we were the only couple in the place! The staff was super friendly, and I had a great conversation with our waiter, who provided excellent service. He was above and beyond generous with me, because, not only was it my birthday last night, but he is just a very nice person. The food was perfect TexMex fare, For a very affordable price. This will have to return to my favorites list again.

This location has been a landmark in Ridglea for decades and never disappoints. The service is always top notch, the food is great and the dining room is always clean. Our family enjoys many of the dishes along with the unique chips/salsa. Whether you are going for the Weds enchilada special or just for some good TexMex comfort food, El Fenix on Camp Bowie, you will have a great meal.

I have loved this place since my childhood. It is a great place with a friendly and happy atmosphere. It is the place to go for chips and salsa. Don't forget to try the ice box lemon pie (You'd think I'd remember the exact name after all these years, but oh well). Everything is delicious, my favorite sauce here is ranchero.

Food was delicious and waitress was excellent. We did not have to wait more than 15 minutes from time we ordered to receive our food. With kids that is big plus. Wait staff is on drinks and anything else needed. We did not have to ask for refills on drinks, chips or salsa as she already taken care I of it. she was super observant and friendly. The service to me is as important as the food.

Top notch TexMex. Our visit was perfect. Our waiter was professional and brought our perfectly executed meals quickly and kept our drinks full. The iced tea is fresh and delicious. The place is clean. Our food was all fresh, hot, and delicious. The queso is amazing, the chips are fresh and crisp. The guacamole was fresh and we scraped the bowl to get every bit of deliciousness. We had the combo fajitas, they were very good, the meat was tender and altogether delicious. The beef enchiladas are absolutely amazing, also the chicken. And the vegetable enchiladas were out of this world. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A Fort Worth institution, don't miss out.
