El Fenix Cafe

April 8th 2024 my brother and I order enchiladas and tamales. They were very small portions . The food and hot sauce tasted like it was made in New York City. Won't be back.

The food was great this plate is called Best Special I got it with green sauce. Absolutely delicious, mildly spicy, loved it! The music was great. We sat inside. I love the building and the decorations. Our server was great, very attentive and very fast. I cant wait to go back and sit on the patio.

You know how the Genie tells Aladdin that one of the rules is he can't wish anyone back from the dead? "It's not a pretty picture, & I don't like doing it!" He was right. It is far better to mourn the dead - this is what we should all have been okay with doing when El Fenix closed. It was a great loss of a beloved, hometown original. It's just sad to watch the reanimated corpse of the current incarnation stumble around trying to pretend to be its old self. I want to be clear here, this is a third strike situation, not a knee-jerk reaction. After choosing not to wait nearly an hour at another restaurant that was packed, we decided to give El Fenix just one last try because we *wanted* it to be great. Unfortunately, we sat and waited... and waited. The manager on duty stood less than 10 ft from us having a conversation that included his complete confusion about why they weren't busier. He could see that there was no server waiting on any of the tables. He finished chatting & walked away without checking on any of the tables. When our server finally made it back around, I asked if she was the only one working - she was. We offered to pay for our iced tea & left. There is no big mystery why this former local gem is no longer busy on a Saturday night. It's being managed terribly. RIP El Fenix, you didn't deserve this. Original review for the previous incarnation: Love this spot! Perfectly hot salsa & breakfast anytime. Also, they serve an enchilada with their fajitas, so that's a win!
