El Fenix® Mexican Restaurants are as much a part of the Dallas tradition as the State Fair of Texas. Both have roots dating back to the 19th century.
The birth of Tex-Mex food, El Fenix-style, began in the 1890s with the birth of Miguel (Mike) Martinez. Mike married Faustina Porres and shortly thereafter, opened Martinez Café in 1916.
In 1918, Mike renamed his restaurant El Fenix Café. The first menu featured mostly American food, but Mike soon began to offer his guests more exotic tastes with combination plates of Mexican-American dishes.
Over time, the El Fenix menu evolved into a new innovative style called Tex-Mex and has been copied but never duplicated!
