I've been dining at this location for almost as long as I've been living in the west side of Fort Worth and have only been disappointed with my meal one time, many years ago. There was not enough beef in the enchiladas. Management took care of that by treating me to a free dinner on my next visit. The enchiladas were so stuffed I couldn't eat it all. Fast forward to this evening's meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the Grande enchilada dinner tonight. Two beef enchilada and one cheese enchilada, rice and refried beans with corn tortillas and chopped onions on the side. Oh boy! I'm having two meals tonight. Service was excellent as well. Needless to say, "I'll be back."

I'm a mid-fan of Tex Mex only, but its hard to argue with El Fenix OG status in the food style, having been in operation since 1912! They do it well, capturing the ambience, service, and menu that defines Tex Mex.We were seated quickly and our server was at the table in a few minutes with complementary chips and salsa. The chips are crispy, salty, and the salsa consistently fresh and delicious. We ordered some queso as well, which fell off a bit for me. It's the basic thing you expect, but seemed just a tick on the soupy, ballpark side.Any entree will be good to a Tex Mex fan. Enchiladas are hot, gooey and flavorful. Chimichangas freshly fried and yummy. The tortilla soup stood out with it's savory flavor and heartiness.My only nit is the server brought us an electronic checkout device, which I let sit too long before paying and she could not bring the screen back that enabled me to tip. I had enough cash, luckily. Will repeat when my peeps are craving Tex Mex and we are in Ridglea.

I have enjoyed El Fenix' delicious meals my entire life. Now that I have moved back to the DFW area, my partner and I visit the Camp Bowie Blvd location at least weekly. (He has eaten here for over 40 years.) The food is as fresh and familiar tasting as it always has been. The staff and managers are friendly, and our order is both taken and delivered promptly and piping hot.This location is decorated in 'traditional El Fenix' style, I love the old ads: now framed and hanging on the walls and the large retro photos of EF customers enjoying themselves long ago.Two recommendations as a long time fan: It's 6:50 PM: your cafe is packed and your lobby and bar are filled with waiting customers, Extend your happy hour prices to those who are not seated until after 7. On a recent visit, we did not get a table until 7:15. Yet we were told happy hour was over and the 'register system' would not allow overrides. ( If that is true, EF executives need to trust and empower their employees to make decisions in the customer's best interests) ( And they need a modern computer system that allows for accommodations. , We were told we should have ordered from the bar before 7. The bar area was packed: we could not get in. My second observation is that the pecan pralines sold at the front taste rather stale and are overpriced at $1. Why not give them to customers at the table when the check is presented? (At no charge) or drop the price to 25 cents? That will eliminate any risk of serving old candy. Overall, EF is a classic Metroplex tradition. I recommend Camp Bowie and the other locations most heartily.

I've been dining here for a long time and with no exceptions, it's always been very good. I'm addicted to their beef and cheese enchilada dinners and tonight I had the beef enchilada dinner. YUM! Service was very good and food arrived nice and hot, but not too hot. I'll keep being a regular diner.

Our waitress was a little preoccupied with something on her mind. She did bring us refills but each time the drinks were switched. The restaurant it self was clean and inviting, nothing much to say about it. Now the food, the chips had no flavoring, just a taste of corn chip. The "salsa" was ok, but could have been better. My food was the fiesta taco salad, looked almost appetizing until i saw the "meat" which looked like wet dog food. Again no flavors, the sour cream was the only thing on the plate that actually tasted good. The "pico" was literally tomatoes and onions. I honestly feel like this lunch was a waste of money.

We hadn't been to El Fenix in a long time. We missed it for sure. It was cold and rainy and we wanted some good Mexican food. Started with their delicious chips and picante sauce and queso. Then we ordered the enchiladas with a puffy taco and my hubby ordered the chimichanga. Oh, I also had a big icy goblet of Modelo with salt and lime. The food and the service very good. Manuel was also great as our server.

I eat here more than I do any other restaurant. Today I got the cheese enchiladas special. It barely had any rice and beans. Before these plates always had a good portion of rice and beans. The cheese enchiladas were terrible and barely warm. The chips were not their usual chips. They were stale and hard. Very disappointed in my meal.
