El Fenix S - Abilene

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.

This place has been a favorite of our family for a couple of generations. Great Tex-Mex food, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. They are located in the historic Burro Alley. Everyone should give this place a visit.

El Fenix Cafe is like an oasis in Abilene. Their meals and recipes are always consistent and even if their waitresses change over time, it is always a fresh smiling face waiting to serve. I've eaten here since I first discovered this place almost ten years ago. It's no wonder why they've stayed successful for all of this time. They have a lot of history and it's family owned, you can taste their authenticity in their dishes. I recommend this place for anyone looking for great food in a nice atmosphere. It can get pretty busy at times, especially Sundays, but on quiet nights, it is an amazing experience...but I guess that depends on your date also ;D Thank you El Fenix!!! I hope you guys stay here forever. VIVA!!!

Have been going here for years since before I even had kids great place. Went yesterday with my daughter and our waitress was so sweet the food was awesome as always but the experience was even better because of our service! Great place highly recommend

Really good place to eat authentic Mexican food. The chili releno is fantastic. The enchiladas are extremely good. I have not tried anything bad. I don't think the tortillas are made there but they are still good. The prices are very fair. The guacamole is fresh and very good.
