Popular U.S. Mexican chain closes: all its restaurants say goodbye without declaring bankruptcy
Fernando’s Mexican Cuisine, an upscale Texas-based chain known for its nachos, fajitas, and margaritas is closing down.

The Fernando’s Mexican Cuisine chain was known for offering a more refined take on Tex-Mex cuisine, incorporating influences from Mexico City with a focus on higher-quality ingredients and more sophisticated dishes than typical Tex-Mex fare.
Sadly, both outlets in Texas are to close their doors for good.
“With extraordinary sadness, we share news that after 20 wonderful years, Fernando’s Mexican Cuisine will be closing both of its locations on May 18th,” Fernando’s Managing Partner Anne Cowden wrote.
“After 20 years of operations and five months of lease negotiations at our Dallas location, we were unable to reach a lease agreement with the landlord. With the Richardson lease also expiring soon, this is the appropriate time to close both restaurants.”
Fernando’s will serve for the last time on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
