My favorite for Mexican no other compares. Been going here for years.Only complaint portion size has been the size of a kids plate beans and rice. Have been skipping on the sauce on enchiladas a little dry because of that. Best cheese queso there is around! Otherwise would have given my all-time favorite 5 stars.

My absolute favorite Mexican food, always consistently good. They also have some of the best servers in town.

The worst BLAND/TASTELESS Mexican food ever!
The chips and salsa were the only things that were good. The service wasn't very good either. We will NEVER go back.
I had a chili relleno, it was made with ground beef that tasted old & freezer burnt. The egg coating was like eating a sponge plus there was a piece of something inside that was like cardboard UGH! We ordered cheese dip & it tasted so watered down. The bathroom was disgusting.
Taco Bell is FAR SUPERIOR!!!!!!

This is a great place to eat, especially for lunch.
Selections, including the numerous lunch specials, are varied and delicious. You can indulge yourself, or you can have a salad or grilled item.
Servers are polite and prompt, and most are attentive, but not annoyingly so. I always manage to dine with salsa inhalers, and servers are always very pleasant and cheerful about replenishing our table's salsa and chips, though we're always politely asked beforehand if we'd like more.
The only drawbacks are the rather loud music, and the fact that this justifiably popular restaurant is often crowded.

El Fenix used to be pretty reasonable but now their prices are through the roof,even at lunch.
The food is good but needs to come down on the cost.
