El Fenix is a gem in downtown Dallas! 🌟 Just a short walk from the Perot Museum, it’s the perfect spot for a quick bite. The light, crispy tortilla chips are a must-try - they steal the show!
I indulged in the enchiladas, which boasted quality cheeses and seasonings. The ambiance is a lovely mix of historic and trendy, making it cozy yet vibrant. Plus, their house margaritas are a delight!
Service was prompt, though it felt a bit overzealous at times. Definitely planning to return to explore more of their extensive menu! 🌮✨
