    With all the different options that are available in Strang Hall it is somewhat hard to decide what to order. You can either order at the counter or scan the code and order from your phone. I ordered from the table so I could order from the bar as well and just have one tab. When your food is ready they will test you to let you know. I got the burrito which was a very large portion. The taste was delicious, the sauce on top had a good heat to it, if you don't do heat this is not for you!! but the heat was not over powering the flavors of the rest of the burrito.

    Pork belly and grits

    This was my first time trying out this spot in Strang Hall. We had the pork belly and grits. There was enough in the bowl for two people. The grits were very moist and perfectly cooked. There was plenty of pork belly as well. This meal was extremely good and I would plan on ordering it again. Service was quick and we did not have a long wait after ordering. I would like to return and try the other items on their menu!

    KC Taco, Fried Fish Taco, and Hot Fried Chicken Taco

    Great option inside Strang Hall! Order at the counter, and you get a text when your food is hot and ready at the other end of the counter. While you're waiting, grab a table inside or outside! Plenty of room on a Sunday afternoon. The KC taco was really tasty- I liked the salty, spicy, sweet combo of flavors. The fish taco was a huge portion, which made up for the wimpy portion of hot chicken I got. Lots of good texture in the tacos, and I was definitely satisfied at the end of the meal! There's a small parking lot for online pick up in front of the entrance, but there is plenty of street parking all around since there's a park across the street.

    Grabbed lunch at Fénix during the 2022 badge bash! We got the street corn and burrito crujiente with carnitas. The street corn was fresh grilled and extra smoky. The burrito was good, it was chock full of meat and the sauce was good. I would definitely go back and try the tacos!

    Bacon breakfast burrito

    We did the bacon breakfast burrito from Fenix.  Great burritos are not hard to find in KC but Fenix does something I have not seen before.  They brush the tortilla with what taste like a garlic butter on it and press or grill it.  Not sure which.  It was such a unique twist that made them stand out.  This burrito is a bit steep but the fillings are plentiful making it worth it.  It is on the salty side with the bacon and garlic butter then cheese but the salsa is mild and fresh, acidic to balance it out.

    Located inside Strang Hall, which is a cool concept for start-up chefs, Fénix is a fusion between American and Mexican food: creative, different, and very yummy. Will definitely eat here again when visiting from Georgia!

    Oh my heavens- this may have been my favorite side dish I've ever had and 1 of the best combos of flavor. Papas de Comote from Fenix in Strang Hall by Chef Brett! Sweet potatoes , mint, garlic, feta.....soooooo good!

    My go to is the Firebird Chicken Sandwich. It has heat but not too much and great flavor. The side of fries are delicious too!

    I'm almost afraid to go a second time because the first time was way too delicious…read more First, I was surprised by finding out it was Taco Tuesday, so I got some kind of crazy good financial deal on these tacos. Secondly, when I went home, I was just expecting tacos, and found this wide array of grilled vegetables in my takeout order. Thirdly, several of the tacos were insanely delicious. The server was pretty chill when I was placing my order. And the music in the background was Bad Bunny style, fun stuff.

Respectfully, nothing was fundamentally wrong with the food, but it didn't distinguish itself. I'd eat there again if nearby, but wouldn't travel for it. Service was good for ordering and receiving time. From order to table was approximately 10 minutes which is exceptional considering the quantity of food ordered. The tables needed to be wiped down, and the table service was pretty much non-existent. You order your food at a register, seat yourself and that's that. No waitress or water; you have to buy bottled water. Price point was ~$65 for the taco platter and another ~$10 for the quesabirria tacos. This filled up the family of 4 with leftovers. There is a condiments / salsa bar but customers ran through it and there was mixed food between all the containers. The pickled red onion has their own kick to it which I enjoyed and their salsas/hot sauces are good. The decor is pretty straightforward, tables and chairs, with typical music you'd expect from other Mexican restaurants. Futbol on the TV's and old movies on others. There is a chef at the opposite end of where you order your food, hats off to that man he was very receptive and worked very hard. He helped with getting our table wiped down, our waters, and to go stuff for our leftovers, if he sees this, I want him to know I appreciated his efforts. This review is for my first time experience in Overland Park. I do not know if this is normal or because it was a Sunday that this is what the experience is but I will say, If they offered free water, had a busser, and kept the place more tidy it easily would elevate the rating.

And I don't know if I would dislike anything. The food is fresh and better than other a lot of other Mexican spots in KC. Overall I'm definitely gunna be visiting again in the future and years to come. Great vibe, great food, and a great time.

The service was okay! Nothing super special but they answered questions and were helpful at the counter. This was our first time here so we ordered a few things to sample and share amongst ourselves. The first thing we had was the chips and queso, which I thought was a bit expensive at $7.99 but not too bad. The queso was fairly spicy but otherwise nothing special. I usually love queso so it surprised me how neutral I felt toward it! The chips were good, thin and light with a crispy bite to them. We unfortunately didn't get to try the salsa, noticing only at the end of our meal that there was a sauce bar near the counter! The birria tacos were also...okay. They were very juicy but not very uniquely flavored compared to everything else we tried. The meat was tender and I loved the texture of the tortilla, but didn't care for the massive handful of cilantro dropped on top of everything on the plate. The dipping liquid (birria sauce?) was alright! It was the same flavor as the tacos themselves so it didn't add much, but it definitely wasn't bad. The "main course" of what we ordered was a combo of soft chicken tacos, rice, and beans. The chicken tacos were unfortunately very cold by the time we got them which was a bit strange, as almost everything else was hot! They tasted good but I'm really not a fan of eating cold chicken, so I passed them off to my friends. The beans were just okay. There's really not much to say about them. The rice also left me disappointed! I typically devour Spanish rice. Not only was it cold, there were also odd, hard grains of rice mixed in. Not enough to get one every bite but enough that the experience of eating it was off-putting. It was also quite bland. Another note: While we were eating, there was this constant loud droning coming from the air conditioner. I'm a MASSIVE fan of air conditioning so I'm grateful it was on in the first place, but that is something they really need to get fixed. Two women seated near us actually got up and walked outside after commenting multiple times about how disturbing the noise was. My experience here was definitely a mixed bag but it leaned toward the positive, so we'll likely try them again! They had several other menu items I'd like to try, including some American fare that I found intriguing.

My build-your-own weekday lunch ($8) included choice of entrée, choice of beans and rice. It was served just ten minutes after I ordered at the table, which gave me time to dig into the complimentary chips and mild (with a little kick), somewhat chunky salsa. The chicken tinga burrito was packed full of moist, white chicken and topped with a very flavorful sauce and cheese. I found the black beans to be pretty good, but the rice was somewhat dry and clumpy. The dining area had a central bar area, unique light fixtures, a mix of booths and tables, Mexican decor, Mexican background music (not too loud), a table-side cart for fresh guacamole and several backdrop spots for photos. I also noticed two rollup garage doors leading to the covered patio area. The food and drink menus included Mexican favorites, taco flights, taquito flights, margarita flights, 88 tequilas, meals for the kiddos and brunch (Sat & Sun 11AM - 2PM). Overall, very nice, especially for the lunch price.

The service has been hit or miss for me. I've gone here like 5 times and one time was sooo bad. But overall it's great. Can't make one time ruin the whole shabang. The food is just ehhh. Whatever. I mean it's cool. But with the competition for other Mexican spots around here. It's just not the best at all. I can't really justify going here strictly for the food again. The bar seems pretty fun here though so this place seems like a grab something small and have some drinks with friends type of place x
