"The longtime location of Mexican restaurant El Fenix on Lemmon Avenue has closed for good, The Dallas Morning News reports. The chain, founded in Dallas in 1918, operated the Lemmon Avenue location, near Love Field, for 60 years. Mike Karns, CEO of El Fenix’s parent company, cited “current conditions” in the closure, presumably a reference to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent economic downturn. The restaurant closed on September 25, but 14 other El Fenix locations are still in operation throughout the Metroplex." - Brittanie Shey
