I'm going to leave my review at 4 stars, but lately we've had multiple problems with the kitchen getting orders wrong. This time, I have to say something. Last visit, they were very busy. My order of combination nachos was so wrong, I just kept my mouth shut and ate them. When I said something at the register, I was still charged full price. This visit, I ordered charro beans with my dinner. Waitress came back and said out of charro beans. No problem, one of my options is an extra taco. I said extra taco please. They were busy, and food took a while. My plate arrives.....with refried beans instead of taco. Am I willing to wait some more. No. Olivia, we still love you! Talk to your kitchen. More...

El Fenix is a cute little place with delicious tex-mex. I always get their queso - you can order with taco meat or pico de gallo mixed in. I alternate between carne guisada and enchiladas. The service has always been awesome and quick. More...

Staff is kind and the atmosphere is very homey. Food isn't upscale but the kind you would have at your family's house. It's amazing and I'll keep coming back for sure

Food was good and got plenty to eat but the service could have been better. The waitress didn't come back to refill drinks or check on us.

The parking lot was practically filled, so we anticipated a wait for a table. Surprisingly, we were promptly seated. Drinks and chips followed almost as promptly. The salsa had a bit too much cilantro for my taste. The tomatillo was excellent. Chips were robust (thicker than average) but crispy.I had the enchilada dinner & my son ordered the taco plate. Both were good, but nothing special, as were the refried beans and rice.The dessert sounded delicious -- sopapillas with ice cream & chocolate syrup -- but we didn't want to feel over-stuffed. Maybe next time.Service was average. More...

Chips & hot sauce is worth the trip. Gotta try the sopapillas & ice cream, drizzled with chocolate. (The calories are removed :-) on request!) Service was great.

Visiting Abilene for the day with a friend and brought me to this hole in the wall restaurant, I will admit these are the best places to eat at. We beat the lunch crowd for a Sunday, food was so good and the staff was friendly. They even have a cozy patio for days like today, cool and sunny. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area. More...

The Dora Special is actually very special! The carne guisada is spiced perfectly and compliments the rest of the items. Yum! Miss Peggy had David’s Special! We swapped—I gave her my taco and she gave me her papas fritas. Poifect! (Said in falsetto) More...
