The Best and Most Iconic Dishes in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"El Fenix isn’t the best Tex-Mex in town, but it is the original — it opened as a family restaurant in 1918 (that’s over 100 years ago), and the first one is still standing. That makes it a Dallas original. The way to go: Order the enchiladas. This iconic dish should be consumed at least once in the original Downtown location in all its sizzling glory and preferably with a frozen marg (El Fenix also offers the enchiladas as a special on Wednesdays). Inside, you’ll find a cavernous, sprawling space with a rowdy bar, rustic Mexican-style decor, and tables full of families." - Eater Staff
