We came for the history and stayed for the great food and nice staff. We had the queso dip, chicken fajita burrito, and a steak quesadilla. The burrito was massive! The meat all tasted fresh and was well seasoned. Our server was amazing!

Loved the salsa and serrano berry cocktail. Bartender Andrea was very nice
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.
