I read that the founder of El Fenix was the originator of ‘tex-mex’ cuisine, trying to make the standard Mexican food more Gringo friendly. It worked. The crispy chicken flautas here are my favorite ever. The hot sauce with butter on warm corn tortillas just whets your appetite before you begin the real meal. El Fenix has several locations across the DFW metroplex, and all of them have the famous cheese enchiladas that bring hords or people in for enchilada night every Wednesday.
