    Texas created Tex-Mex. So when you eat Tex-Mex in Texas, the bar isn't just high -- it's non-negotiable. E Bar Tex-Mex in Dallas is one of those places you constantly hear about. Packed, popular, and said to be a must-try among the locals. Naturally, expectations were set....high! Let's get straight to the food. The queso? Good. Smooth, well-executed, but not the kind that makes you pause mid-chip and rethink your life. I've had better, but if I'm being honest. The shrimp tacos were probably the highlight -- fresh, clean, cooked properly -- but again, nothing that demands a return visit. They do the job, they just don't say much. And that's really the issue here. At this price, and hype point, I want something to scream. A sauce, a spice, a signature move -- something that reminds you why Tex-Mex is its own genre. Instead, everything felt safe. Polished, sure. Memorable? Not quite. E Bar isn't bad by any stretch. But in a city -- and a state -- where Tex-Mex is seen in such high regard, "pretty good" just won't pull me in.

    Super super super spot!!!!! 10/10 any day. Staff, food, drinks, atmosphere, vibes, price you name it all 10/10. Come here if you can! The steak street tacos were amazing and Jorge's tacos were phenomenal. I would bet everything on this menu is excellent.

    The food was amazing! We got steak fajitas. My boyfriend loved it so much we went back the next day to have more lol. The staff was also so friendly!

    We tried E-bar for the first time recently and thought it was a solid tex-mex option in Dallas. Of note, this was a takeout order. We got the chips and queso, beef fajitas, and a cheese enchilada. The queso was a white queso which was delicious and also came with a great red salsa. The fajitas were good, but I have had better beef fajitas and usually like having the bone marrow butter with it. The cheese enchilada was also very delicious and I would order that again. Overall, this was a solid spot and I would be excited to go eat there in person next time and try more items on the menu.

    Veggie nachos were very good

    I met with the family here for a meal and it was great. There is a parking lot right across the street to park at for free. They had a table ready for the 5 of us and service was all smiles. It wasn't crowded for an early weekday dinner. Oh how I do love a good Tex-mex meal. I was torn between spinach and mushroom or cheese enchiladas but decided to go with the latter without regret. I had no complaints with the fresh salsa and chips while waiting for the food. The food was ready quickly. Refried beans were on point as well as the rice. The two enchiladas were filled with a nice thick savory cheese. I had one topped with queso and the other with chile con carne. The queso was delightful, but the carne sauce worked better to break up all the cheese. I tried the veggie nachos and they were good as well. The chips were placed individually on the plate and were thick enough to hold up to the weight of the toppings. I was happy to eat here and will return to have the spinach and mushroom enchiladas.

    Fast pace place. We were greeted very quickly, appetizer came out in timely manner between our entree and our food was great. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat with friends this is it. The Bar is fairly large and games are always on.

    Came here on cinco de mayo for lunch. Our server was so inviting and sweet, she was also super attentive (wish I knew her name). I order the steak fajitas and elote Mexican corn. Baby, everything was a 10/10. I love that this place is such a hidden gem and ducked off. I love supporting small businesses and this place is amazing. I will be coming back, regularly. Oh yeah, the queso was amazing as well! It was even better as leftovers the next day! Highly recommend

    Absolutely delicious! Had the Mexican Cobb salad without tomatoes and grilled shrimp instead of sautéed in pesto. The jalapeño-cilantro ranch is to die for. Perfect amount of spice. Staff is always wonderful and welcoming.

    Came here for lunch and we were seated right away. I got the taco salad with steak fajita meat. It was very filling and the shell was soft. Nice, cozy place with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is nice and attentive.

    This place is a dive. But a diver with good Mexican food. The Chile relleno was on point here! Also the house/street tacos. Plenty of food, cheap for the area and very filling. Service was ok. Altogether an awesome Mexican joint in downtown.

    Solid Tex Mex. Salsa was tasty, chips were good, no complaints on the service. Jorge's Tacos and Cheese Enchiladas were delicious.

    Had such a nice lunch with my family at Las Palmas! This was our second time visiting this location…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype again. Since the weather has been so nice lately, outdoor seating is super popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you can. Even though we didn't have one, they were still able to accommodate our group which we really appreciated. The service was amazing...everyone was so polite, attentive, and fast. The drinks were delicious and the food came out surprisingly quickly as well. They also offer valet, but if it's packed, there's parking across the street too which was convenient. Highly recommend for a nice lunch or dinner during the weekend. We'll definitely be coming back again!

The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

The service here was great on my visit. The atmosphere, albeit a little crowded, was comfy. As I do with my first visit at any Tex-Mex joint, I order the combo plate. I was very pleased with it here. The taco was crunchy with nicely seasoned (non-greasy) ground beef and lettuce and cheese served on the side (I told them no tomatoes). The tamale had a wonderful brisket-like filling, although there was a little too much masa for me. The cheese enchilada was filled with actual cheese, which is a good (if not rare) thing these days. The chili con carne topping was wonderful, as was the rice -- which is among the most perfectly cooked that I have ever experienced in a Tex-Mex joint. The refried beans were run-of-the mill. I must say that the enchilada tortillas are firmer than most. Not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't par-fry these things before rolling. I tend to judge Tex-Mex joints by their salsa. If it's served warm, I take points off the board. This stuff is served ice-cold and has a wonderful bite. Bottom line: If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Excellent Tex-Mex.
