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.
Branch of a long-running chain serving Tex-Mex staples in a hacienda-style setting.

If I could give an extra star for service, I would.
Juan Navarro was specifically super helpful and amazing with our birthday party celebration!
We came in a large party, but still got seated promptly despite it being busy, and they reasonably could’ve made us wait longer. Good vibes good people

The service was great, the food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Always love coming here during our State Fair visit.

The food was delicious! We ordered the combination steak and chicken fajitas, with corn and flour tortillas. The steak was well seasoned and tender. The chicken was full of flavor and moist with a chard smoky after taste. We shared an enormous amount of sautéed bell peppers and onions as well.
Our server Amelia was extremely patient with our repeated requests for additional chips and salsa. No one can match the light and airy tortilla chips El Fenix provides with just the right amount of salt.
We met the manager Maria who was making her rounds throughout the large restaurant ensuring everyone was enjoying their dinner and in this family-friendly atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the HVAC system was not working and the facility was really warm and semi uncomfortable. But that didn’t stop patrons from filling up to the point that all the background noise was laughter and good times! I highly recommend this place, especially on Enchilada Wednesdays.

I’ve always loved this El Fenix restaurant! It’s pretty much been the go-to restaurant my whole life! The food is always fresh and tasty. Take out orders are ready fairly quick after you order most of the time. Staff is always prompt, friendly, and helpful.

Let us not sleep on the old faithful. Ate here today, food was fresh my server he was an older Hispanic male, sorry didn’t get his name, but they know who he is. He came when it was necessary. The atmosphere is authentic and nice. The fajitas were seasoned. The $2 margaritas on Thursday are awesome. 5 stars easy for today.

Loved the vibes and the warm welcome from the staff! The food looked better than it performed — kinda like a movie trailer that promises more than the film. Still, not a bad spot to check out.

Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! This place is super great! I don’t usually leave a review about the tortillas chips but this time… Yes! Very well done. The meal ingot was tortilla fajita. I oved it! The beans were very well done unlike other places where you feel like you’re eating a bean shake, but here all the food was perfect, well cooked and flavor was so yummy! I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s very well cleaned, tables, floors and it looks fantastic! It makes you feel you’re not in Texas, but somewhere in Mexico! Great job!

We added a cheese enchilada to our chicken enchilada dinner and they buried it in the same box. I had assumed it would come separately since it usually has a different sauce on it, but here we are
