A Historic Beginning
Established in July 1984, the same year West Hollywood was founded, Marix, originally a 1922 California Spanish bungalow, proudly introduced Los Angeles to authentic Tex Mex cuisine as the first restaurant to serve sizzling fajitas, thanks to founders Mary Sweeney and Victoria Shemaria.
A Flavor That Stands Apart
The draw was and is the tasty potent margaritas, the delicious sizzling fajitas, and a totally different take on Mexican food.
A True Community Gathering Place
Marix became a community gathering place for the LGBTQ community. For many customers, it was the first place they visited when they moved to Los Angeles or West Hollywood. They discovered other people just like them and created many lasting memories.

Visited a Tex-Mex spot in L.A. and had such a great experience. The staff were really welcoming and made the visit feel comfortable from the start. I ordered the Mexican salad, and it was delicious, fresh and flavorful. Overall, a great place with tasty food and warm vibes.

Matrix Tex Mex Cafe in Los Angeles absolutely won us over. The atmosphere was fun from the moment we walked in. The music was fire, the whole place had great energy, and the murals on the walls made everything feel lively and creative. It’s the kind of spot where you instantly feel like you picked the right restaurant.
I somehow never knew about this place, despite living in West Hollywood for 15 years. I think it’s a very pleasant, reasonably priced tex mex place for a chill dinner. Nothing is particularly notable, but the food is pretty good, the service was very nice, and I appreciated the reasonably priced drinks.

Thank goodness for open air seating and delicious food that really has gotten better than before it closed 😋 Seems like it's much healthier and less greasy than I remember! One thing, I assumed everyone in the waiters world would know what "going Dutch" means. But they don't, so much for assuming. It was a learning experience that I was so grateful to be the instructor! Loll GREAT TIME and nice people, with accurate and fast service!

Clients Testimonials

An amazing atmosphere, providing a nostalgic feel along with delicious contemporary TexMex cuisine. And do not miss the sizzling apple pie dessert. I’ve had dreams about it. It’s so good.

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was stellar and so was the server! He was so prompt and made our dining experience seamless! Our only major turnoff to the place was the host… he was dismissive and unfriendly and super rude even when we were trying to be super nice to him. Despite this threshold guardian it was an amazing experience apart from that, we almost left because of him but we’re glad we stayed.
