Reviews For El Fenix McKinney

I recently dined at El Fenix in McKinney and was thoroughly impressed by their offerings. The nachos were a standout—crispy tortilla chips generously topped with flavorful seasoned chicken and accompanied by a dollop of sour cream. The combination of textures and flavors made for a delightful appetizer. Pairing the nachos with one of their signature margaritas was a perfect choice; the margarita was refreshing and well-balanced, complementing the savory nachos beautifully. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and the service was attentive, making for an overall enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend visiting El Fenix for a taste of their delicious nachos and margaritas.

Great Food! My family and I came here for dinner on Saturday around 4:30pm. After walking in, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we waited another 5-7 minutes to get our drink orders in. The server was very friendly and apologized about the wait. I think they are short staffed right now, as we only saw a few servers working the entire restaurant. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but it could really use a minor remodel. The restrooms were clean, which is always a great sign in my book. We all enjoyed chips and salsa while we waited for our food. Our food arrived at the table about 15 minutes after we placed our ordered. Everything looked great, tasted delicious, and was well worth the wait. My finance’s burrito was HUGE.. first time I haven’t seen him finish his meal in ages. I really liked the fact that they also have some delicious meatless options as well. I really enjoyed the Veggie Enchiladas. We were all very satisfied, and stuffed. The food was reasonably priced, and a great value for the money. I would definitely come back here again.

We love this El Fenix. The service is always fast and friendly. The chicken tortilla soup is full of flavor and chicken. We also love the beef enchiladas and the chips and salsa. The atmosphere is nice, as I can hear my dinner mates speaking to me from across the table. Oh, and I love the ice cold beer!

15 man roofing crew and myself dined here several times/week while working at the Toyota Dealership next door. They are fast, great food, great service and the manager is very helpful. Highly recommend for any group size.

Wonderful restaurant I've been eating at for over 40 years. Love the tenchita salad covered in queso. And the buttery chips.

I’ve been going to El Fenix for 50 years. Their recipes are standard and always pretty good. Service here was good. Quickly seated but there we’re about 5 or 6 tables we passed that has not been bussed. It was not the noon rush hour. They could really upgrade their margarita selection. There is not a selection that does not include the “mix”. Still it’s El Fenix and we will be back.

Food was great, we really enjoy eating here, service could have been better, but we understand good help is hard to find, no knock on our waiter, he was an older gentleman & he was doing a lot as well doing his best to serve everyone in his area, we made sure to take care of him. Management was not engaged & hostess really did nothing but seat us, need to be better.

Best time to get lunch is about 2 pm for us. It's not that crowded, but this location has some awesome waiters. Food is always fresh and appreciated. Thank you also to the kitchen staff for your creativity
