A Dallas institution since 1918 — the original Tex-Mex chain. Enchiladas, tamales, and chile rellenos served the old-school way.
El Fenix has been feeding Dallas since 1918, making it one of the oldest restaurant chains in Texas. This is not fancy Tex-Mex — it is the real thing. Combination plates piled high with enchiladas, rice, and beans for under $15. The downtown Dallas location is a landmark. If you want to eat where Dallas locals have eaten for over 100 years, this is it.
