About Mexican Inn Cafe
In 1920, when Fort Worth was still young, a colorful and free-spirited man named Tiffin Hall came to the city. Only 20 years old, he was already a skilled gambler. Soon, Tiffin had established gambling halls throughout his new hometown. He was a quiet man even then-dignified, well-dressed and soft spoken.

In 1936, Tiffin the gambler entered the world of legitimate business when his first Mexican Inn Café opened its doors at 5th and Commerce Streets in a downtown building already 50 years old. From the beginning, he insisted upon courteous service and fresh, home-cooked food. On a good day in the 1930's, restaurant receipts might total only $25.00, but rumor spoke of much greater amounts accumulated each night when gamblers gathered in the second floor rooms above the Mexican Inn.
