Gift card bonus, catering and take-out dishes help ease the seasonal rush
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but it can be the busiest, most stressful time, too.
This year, El Fenix is doing its part to spread the holiday cheer for Tex-Mex lovers, with several special offerings designed to ease the burden on busy shoppers and party hosts alike.
For starters, El Fenix gift cards – which make great employee gifts and stocking stuffers – now come with a special bonus. Between now and Dec. 31, purchase a $50 gift card and receive a free $10 bonus certificate. ($10 bonus certificates are valid 1/1/16 – 2/29/16. Certain restrictions apply.)
Those planning to entertain during the holidays can scratch the cooking duties off their to-do list by catering El Fenix for parties of virtually any size. Guests may choose to pick-up their order, have it delivered or choose a full-service, on-site dining experience. Whatever you decide, you’ll enjoy El Fenix’s original Tex-Mex recipes with all the taste and none of the hassle.
Looking for the perfect item to take to a holiday party? Pick-up a dozen (or more) Traditional Beef Tamales, fully cooked and packaged with your choice of sauce on the sides. At just $16 per dozen, it’s a tamale feast you can’t afford to miss! (Available for to-go orders only through 12/28/15. Tax not included. Tamales must be purchased in increments of 12.)
And don’t forget dessert! A homemade Lemon Ice Box Pie is the perfectly sweet way to top off any holiday meal. Made fresh daily at El Fenix for more than 50 years, simply order your pie at least 24 hours in advance to thrill your guests with this savory delight.
El Fenix will be closed on Christmas, with normal hours on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The restaurants will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve. But if you can’t stand not having Tex-Mex on Christmas Day, head north to visit the El Fenix in the WinStar World Casino & Resort.
There are 22 El Fenix restaurants located throughout North Texas, and at WinStar World Casino & Resort. To find the one nearest you, visit ElFenix.com.
El Fenix was founded in 1918 by Mike Martinez, a Mexican immigrant who opened a small restaurant on the corner of Griffin Street and McKinney Avenue in Dallas. Often, at its main location in downtown Dallas, the lunchtime line of patrons spills out the front door and down Alamo Street. El Fenix is renowned as the originator of “Tex-Mex cuisine” and the restaurant’s Wednesday “Enchilada Dinner Special,” which features two cheese enchiladas, refried beans, and rice. Acquired by Firebird Restaurant Group in 2008, El Fenix was refurbished with freshened interiors and a revamped menu, while maintaining its signature core menu and products. In 2010 Nation’s Restaurant News named El Fenix one of its 50 All-American Icons, “restaurants that stole our hearts and stood the test of time.” For more information and locations, visit ElFenix.com.
