My daughter went out early this morning and returned with a box of baked goods and pastries from El Fenix. So, before breakfast commenced and the coffee from Chiapas was poured for those attending, we opened the box to discover the colorful mix she had chosen. The flaky brown and tan biscuits were the first plate we tried with our homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese. I tasted mine plain at first to get a sense of the composition. The resounding taste of butter in the near bread told me of the quality was on par with any I had enjoyed before. Biscuits are not difficult to make, but doing so consistently is important. Then we tasted the dark brown gingerbread pigs, known as "puerquitos", which were gloriously fresh with a dusting of confectionery sugar. I was impressed again and the subtle taste of piloncillo found its way into every taste. While it's mildly unfair to review a place based solely on its takeout, El Fenix made a very good impression on me, and I look forward to visiting in the near future. read more

My goodness these donuts were good. We live 9.5 hours away, but they might be worth the drive!

Best fresh donuts in the RGV hands down. And the concha is delish as well. Light and tender.

Showed up at 6:25 am. They didn't open the doors until 6:35 am, and didn't have any donuts ready. All they had where biscuts, Conchas, churros, and kolaches available. Took me a half hour to arrive to the location. I was very disappointed as I went specifically for the donuts. Will not go back. read more

This place is a family tradition. Every year, we purchase pan de polvo and pass them out to family and friends for Christmas. The food is great, and the prices are amazing. They freeze well so that you can purchase extra for later in the year. The owners are very pleasant and make you feel welcome. If not too busy, they have no problem coming out and talking. They have cookie tins for Christmas to make gifting easy. Call ahead for large orders. read more

I had lived in Edinburg for 8 years and never heard of this place till a random TikTok video. Had to try them. Picked up 6 of chocolate glaze and 6 off regular glaze. The perfect texture to donuts I've ever had. If you get there late you will be waiting but it was worth it. The staff was very friendly too. Will go back again read more

NOW I know what all the hype is about. I'm his bakery in Edinburg, Texas has the absolute best sugar covered donuts and they are delish. Proc s are so, so affordable and thankfully they charge by the piece, not the back x. Must try !! read more

If you're from Edinburg, you should know El Fenix. I have a soft spot for El Fenix because they made my grandparents wedding cake nearly 44 years ago, and several of my childhood birthday cakes came from El Fenix. This bakery is an institution going back 70 years! The doughnuts are their signature. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just glazed and chocolate iced. Now the chocolate isn't a ganache or liquid glaze. This is some sort of creamy milk chocolate frosting that the owner, Philip, said it took two weeks to perfect. When the doughnuts are hot out of the oven they are heavenly. Melt in your mouth - literally! El Fenix also carries pan de polvo, conchas, and your other traditional Mexican bakery delicacies. Since they are a bakery, El Fenix does wedding, graduation, and birthday cakes in a variety of sizes and flavors. They open at 6:00 am and close sometime in the afternoon (their hours vary). read more

El Fenix Bakery - The best donuts ever! Chocolate and glaze are our fave, but we also tried powder donut! - Bakeries Near Me - Edinburg, Texas

Picked up some sweets and they didn't disappoint. Chocolate donuts are a must try for chocolate lovers! Got some churros which we had never tried before and were good. Glazed donuts were gone before my wife and I knew it, my wife's class gobbled them up in an instant. Not only did we try the churros for the first time but strawberry filled donuts as well and El Fénix bakery did it again! The 3 lucky kids that grabbed them were asking for another which we bought the last 3 they had. I could go on and on about their pastries and how delicious they are. If you're near the courthouse, they're well worth a detour! read more

El Fenix is my favorite bakery in all the world. I've been to Paris, France and the donuts fresh and hot have the bakeries in Paris beat. The one thing I miss the most about moving to East Texas is that there is no El Fenix here in Lufkin, Texas. My mouth is watering just thinking about the hot chocolate donuts in the morning. read more

Great pastry BUUUUT the business aspect is non-existent. As in they NEVER answer their phones, so the public doesn't know when they are open or closed. They don't have the store hours posted on their doors or windows, either. They practically do what they want when. Shame shame. read more
