I never ate at those places "back in the day" but the single time I
went to El Fenix, I vowed to never ever return. All of our food was
lame (party of 4, and we all got different stuff). That was 2yrs ago.

I haven't tried the fajitas (doesn't sound like I should try the beef
ones), or the rellenos.  I don't like seafood so I failed to mention
that they offered such items. The salsa and chips are great, the
salsa is very fresh tasting and certainly has a little kick. Make
sure to try something with the loco style marinated chicken. The
taco loco has it and incorporates it to quite a delightful effect.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a refreshing change for me too.
