EL FENIX®: THE
Original TEX-MEX
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. In search of greater opportunity, 20-year-old Miguel
left Mexico and settled in Dallas, Texas. Miguel, now Mike, learned the art of food preparation working
in the kitchen of the posh Oriental Hotel in downtown Dallas. Mike married Faustina Porres, also from
Mexico and shortly thereafter, opened Martinez Café in 1916. That same year, the first of their eight
children was born. 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!
