We were downtown for a performance at the Meyerson Symphony center and decided to eat at El Fenix downtown. It has been a while since we ate there before but were not disappointed this time. Service is always good, and the food is done very well. I had the Fajita Combination Salad with fajita beef and Marinated chicken. M partner had the Chalupas, one with Guacamole & Been and the other with Chicken. They have the best chips in town, bar none. Highly recommend El Fenix for a great meal with great service and a very reasonable price.

We couldn’t get in at the place next door, so we went here. Food was good. Service was okay. I think our waiter was having an off night. Average experience overall. Food was a bit pricey. I would eat here again & give it another try. I got the tortilla soup. I wish the tortilla strips were already in the soup because they got soggy. I also had the campfire- 2 taquitos in a bowl of queso.
