Founded in 1918, El Fenix is the oldest Mexican restaurant chain in the United States. When original owner Miguel Martinez first opened his café he was serving American food, but over time he began to incorporate more exotic flavors into his dishes. This new style of food eventually evolved into what we now know to be Tex-Mex Cuisine, and the rest is history. 

El Fenix has numerous locations throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area, so it won’t be hard to locate one close to where you’re staying. Their menu is full of Tex-Mex Classics that will surely satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. You really can’t go wrong with any of the options on their menu, but we do recommend starting off your meal with their famous Chicken Tortilla Soup. For your main course, we recommend ordering one of the "Martinez Family Favorites". Their “Enchilada Dinner Special" offered on Wednesdays - featuring two cheese enchiladas served alongside refried beans and rice - is one of the most popular plates in all of Dallas!

If you're looking to enjoy more of a "liquid diet", El Fenix will still be able to accommodate. Their cocktails are among the best in Dallas, having won the Best of Big D's Reader's Choice award for the Best Margarita. If you’re in Dallas, you need to try El Fenix. The birthplace of modern Tex-Mex, El Fenix has survived the test of time for good reason!

When considering where to eat in Dallas, be sure to think of El Fenix! El Fenix is always a popular destination for sports fans travelling to Dallas to watch the Dallas Stars, the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Rangers!
