Authentic Mexican Cuisine
El Tenampa was originally founded by Juan Hernandez, from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and then in 1952 he and his wife moved to Mexico City. From then on El Tenampa was famous for having the most popular Mariachi bands play and become murals on the walls of the restaurant. The first mariachi to play in Mexico City's famous Plaza Garibaldi was also the first Mariachi who played at El Tenampa. El Tenampa continues to have murals on its walls of Mexico's fine music history from 1925 to the present.Lunch & Dinner Specials Check our schedule for theme nights and live music.
