Meet Eddie Dominguez of Tupinamba Cafe in North Dallas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Eddie Dominguez.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
At Tupinamba Cafe, you are more than a patron. You are part of a story that began in 1910 when Papa Froylan Dominguez fled Mexico during the height of the Mexican Revolution with a handful of cherished family recipes. He and his wife Consuelo began serving those recipes when they opened the first Tupinamba in 1947, where it is believed the nacho and sour cream enchilada were introduced to Dallas. What started as a family tradition has now become a Dallas legend. Still presiding over the oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant in the city, the Dominguez family proudly serves the same delicious recipes to this day. Drop in to see us. Welcome to our story!

Has it been a smooth road?
Business, especially the restaurant business is never easy! We’ve worked through our journey with the faith of family and friends and continue to learn and grow.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
Tupinamba has been around for more than 60 years. We are now the oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant in Dallas. We specialize in down-home Tex-Mex and our infamous “Tupy Taco.” We are most proud of our continued success as a family owned restaurant and our loyal employees, some who have been a part of our team for more than 20 years. What sets us apart from other restaurants, someone from our family is always on location.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Dallas is a great city for restaurants because of its population and business growth increasing every year.
