Reviews for El Fenix in Mesquite, TX
One of our old go-to restaurants, especially when we get together with friends or family. Great, dependable service, usually... get us in without a wait. Menu is standard Mexican fare, not exotic, simple, with some variety. Good Margaritas and beerchoices. Been there for many years and hope it will continue to be for many more. Read more

You definitely have some work to do but it was enchilada special night and my mother is a double transplant recipient so she... needs extra napkins things of that nature and a few special accommodations when she orders. Usually it's A1 top notch serviceand great food. We are taking in consideration covid and being under staffed, especially on a specialty dish night. Howeverwe'll definitely be back, and I'm sure things will get back to the way they've always been thanks for your feedback and yourconcerns on the customers and patrons of your business, keep up the good work!

The people get 5 stars, they were very nice, But If you like flavorful food and spices, go else where. We sent the Guac back... because it was absolutely flavorless and was made with hard unripe Avocado. The appetizer plate was.. over greasy and alsounflavored. Not at all worth $16.00. Very dissapointing for some place with such high reviews. We were there for a total ofabout 25minutes ,most of which was discussing weather we should just leave or dare ordering an entree', clearly we left. . Read more
***UPDATE ON 6/26/22***This is is STILL AWESOME! Maggie was our server. Went to take the spouse out. Amazing service, excellent... food! Pipping hot and quality entrees! They have a pilot pay service where now the server comes to your table with a card swipedevice. You can now pay at the comfort of your own table! PLEASE READ my prior review below! Visit! Eat! Socialize! Went tolunch today with one of my coworkers, and boy, we had a great meal! Arrived right at lunchtime and we were immediately greetedby friendly waitresses and staff. The food was "Classic" El Fenix (which I love). I had the classic sour cream enchiladas withrice and beans. It's a staple of their menu. I have fond memories way back from childhood eating here with my parents. I canremember El Fenix as far back as seven or eight years old. That was over forty years ago! The location was clean, food was hot,and staff were awesome! It was the first visit EVER for my coworker (originally from Washington state), and he was impressed aswell! Definitely recommend giving this location a visit. Read more
El Fenix has consistently good food, and the Mesquite location has the best, most friendly service of all! Servers are always so... friendly and nice. Their chips and salsa are legendary--that's why they sell them at the checkout. Enchilada special onWednesdays comes out fast and hot. Always a treat to eat here! Read more
We went there on Saturday August 14 around 3pm to the Town East location for lunch there were about 6-8 tables occupied. It was... slow no wait, the service was decent. I ordered my food then went to wash my hands and this is what I was greeted with. Theceiling was leaking everywhere from the employee kitchen entrance to the restroom. Absolutely deplorable and disgusting. Restaurant have had plenty of time during COVID-19 shut down to get their act together. The place need to be closed immediately.Business has dropped off tremendously anyway before the pandemic. I will not be returning ? Sad , outdated and plain nasty. ???? Read more
