    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
    Dev T.

    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
    Jen H.

    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.

    Soft shell crab sandwich w/ fries

    Recently heard about Strang Hall and decided to check out Fenix. Fenix has a nice variety on their menu, but I came in knowing what I wanted. It was between the softshell crab sandwich and the softshell crab tacos. I decided to go with the sandwich and was not disappointed. The sandwich comes w/ bacon on it. I ordered it without bacon, but somehow ended up with it on my sandwich anyway. I took it back and they fixed it promptly. So fast, that I thought they just took the bacon off and gave it back...but that wasn't the case. The crab was beer battered (which I wasn't expecting) but it was still pretty good. I thought it would be too "bready" but I could still taste the crab. It came with fries that were seasoned pretty well. The wait time for my food wasn't long and I like that they text when your food is ready. Overall, a pretty good experience and would like to go back and try their tacos.

    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!

    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!

    Don't judge a book by its reviews…read more.. I've done some looking at this place and felt very skeptical coming in. I wasn't even sure if I was going to enjoy myself but boy was I wrong. To start off Rafael, at the front was very funny and made it very comforting. He made conversation with us and was very accommodating. We also received free chips and queso which was my daughter's favorite! The place itself is very calm and just seems like a chill spot to come for a quick eat. I ordered the steak tacos and veggie burrito (which Rafael fixed up for me on regular price with no extra charges for adding fries). We enjoyed our food and had a great time. Everything was delicious and Rafael did a great job on making this a good time for us. I wasn't really a big fan of their horchata but they had other good drinks available. I want to add that I feel like we started receiving special treatment because they realized we were yelpies so I don't know how service is on a regular day. Altogether, I'll be coming back here again!

    We went to this place for a girls day and it was the perfect lunch spot for us. As soon as we came…read morein, one of the workers, Rafael (i think was his name) greeted us with enthusiasm. He told us about the menu and even let us try the horchata before purchasing! The customer service was perfection. That alone would bring me back. I thought the horchata was great but ended up getting the sangria (non alcoholic). The quesobiria was fireeeee and came with grilled onions and a pepper. For 2 tacos, menudo sauce, a drink, onion, and pepper, it was about 10 dollars. That is extremely reasonable! We also enjoyed the interior because it felt home like. My favorite part was the chips and queso, which was the perfect balance of creamy and salty.

My #33 fajita burrito lunch ($11.99) included a nicely sized burrito packed with plenty of tasty, moist meat and fajita veggies. It also included okay portions of flavorful rice and beans along with a small salad and a small dessert. It was served just nine minutes after I ordered at the table, which gave me time to dig into the complimentary thin & crispy chips, salsa verde and mild, tasty salsa. I found the service to be stellar - attentive, cheerful, friendly and polite - nice! The beverage, chips and salsa refills kept coming. The spacious interior was clean and colorful with a main dining area, a secondary dining area and a bar area with more seating. I noticed Mexican background music and several TVs in the bar area. Parking in downtown OP is a free for all, so the lot in front of the restaurant was full before the restaurant opened. It's good that there were plenty of free parking lots and street parking nearby. Overall, very good!

The food was Well hmmmm just OK. Nothing spectacular. But good. And a lot of it. Some rave about the food here... its OK. I had the fajita Burrito and got it this time. Kinda soggy the black beans were great and the rice was well its rice...
