A well-known mainstay on the Dallas restaurant scene, El Fenix was founded in 1918. Renowned as the originator of "Tex-Mex cuisine" our restaurant's Wednesday “Enchilada Dinner Special,” featuring two cheese enchiladas, refried beans, and rice is perhaps one of the most popular plates in Dallas.
Over the last nearly 100 years, we've opened locations in 20 DFW neighborhoods, as well as Wichita Falls and WinStar Casino. The Martinez family has also become pillars of the Dallas community and history.

"Hands down -- the best chips I have ever had"

I could have skipped the meal and just eaten chips and salsa! The chips are homemade and absolutely fabulous. Everyone gets their own little bowl for salsa so I could double dip to my hearts...
"Salsa is what it’s about "

Tex mex is really good but the salsa is the best ever. Also, they have a really cool mural about Tex mex that’s great for a photo op.
