Felix Mexican restaurant closes

The Houston Press reports that venerable Houston Mexican food restaurant, Felix's, has shut down! It's been there 60 years:

Felix Mexican Restaurant was the granddaddy of Houston Tex-Mex.

It was named for Felix Tijerina, a Mexican immigrant who worked at The Original Mexican Restaurant on Fannin before opening his own Tex-Mex restaurant, The Mexican Inn, in 1929.

Felix’s first Montrose location opened in 1937.

I know this was one of Marvin's favorite restaurants but not mine. My wife and I went once around 2002-2003 and never went back. That says something since we lived down the street from it.
