Been coming here for years. Decades even. The quality maintains. A great place for Tex-Mex favorites. Their chips and salsa are second to none. Fajitas, wonderful, tamales, as good as home made....

Very few restaurants have the staying power to celebrate even a quarter-century of service, but El Fenix celebrated their Centennial! Founded in 1918, by Mike Martinez, a Mexican immigrant, El Fenix is credited as "The Originator of Tex-Mex Cuisine." It has been named an "All American Icon" by Nation's Restaurant News and a must-see dining destination for visitors to North Texas. Acquired by Local Favorite Restaurants™ in 2008, El Fenix was refurbished with freshened interiors and a revamped menu, while maintaining its signature authentic elements.
