The service here My goodness I can't talk about the service enough. I felt at home here and so did my daughter. The way this place catered to the kids in our party made me smile. I came here with my family and another family. As soon as we all walked in, the server greeted our little ones as if they made the reservation. Ivan deserves so much praise. The food is also amazing. Everyone enjoyed the food! If you come, you have to get the empanadas! I really enjoyed the empanadas here, especially with the sauce. I absolutely loved my paella. I got the paella Del Mar with seafood, and really enjoyed the mussels. My man ordered the chicken and rice, and said it was tasty. The kid menu is cheap, and comes with a great amount of food. Grilled chicken, rice, and beans for 5 bucks - YES PLEASE! I'll definitely be back! read more

E B Latin Bistro - Paella Pella Del Mar - Cuban Near Me - Plano, Texas

Only found out about this place because my parents went here for father's day, was a bit out of the way for me but was a nice surprise seeing Latin food instead of Mexican in texas. The staff was quicknto recieve us and take our orders and my mom liked having someone to talk Spanish to while ordering. The ended up having the paella while I had the arroz con Pollo. Both were tasty and different from how I'm used to at home but in a good way, prices were affordable while the portions made sure you were full by the end of your meal. I'll be back in the future solo, so as to try additional menu items and I hope they live up to my first experience here, keep up the good work. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I recommend the Paella Valenciana. Note: I am allergic to shellfish, so I asked them to prepare it without shrimp, and it was great, (and a big portion). My wife got Ropa Vieja, a Cuban classic, which also was delicious. We finished with a Blueberry Cheesecake. It was the perfect slice--not too sweet and very tasty. EB Latin Bistro has become one of our favorites, especially because we can get both authentic Cuban AND Spanish food in the same restaurant! read more

I love this place. Gotta start with empanadas and jalapeño ranch. Finish off with some paella or Arroz Con Pollo. Never misses.

Extremely disappointed with today's experience. Went there for weekend dinner and called in ahead and were seated promptly. We were given the complimentary Chips and Salsa, my SO thought something was off initially with chips but I thought they were ok! Order Paella Con Vegetables and Paella Valenciana. My SO asked Jalapeno added to her Paella, but they mentioned it will be Sereno as they do not have Jalapeno. Food arrived, wait staff got confused and gave my wife the one with meat. We had to ask them twice to make sure and switch them. Quantity is definitely less compared to last few times( Must be Shrinkflation) Veg Paella was missing the Sereno as we agreed, we asked for them again and by the time we got them her dinner was almost over. Flavors we used to love last few times were definitely missing. For 20$ I don't think it is worth eating here for the price , quantity or flavor. read more

Great family run business with a great mix of Spanish, Cuban, and other Latin American inspired dishes. Always a nice departure from the Tex-Mex market in DFW. Super friendly staff and the food was very flavorful. We had the ropa vieja and the vaca frita. The black beans were also great. Highly recommend both. read more

Decided to stop here as was looking for Cuban food in the area. We ordered empanadas, chicken soup and Paella Valenciana. Everything was REALLY good! It has a very good Hispanic taste. For dessert we had Flan. Service was good as well read more

E B Latin Bistro - Flan - Cuban Near Me - Plano, Texas

I really enjoyed the few times I've visited this establishment. Food overall is good and the menu is diverse, containing more Latin entrees like paella and cubanos. Service was also fast and very friendly. There is complementary chips and salsa and I particularly enjoyed the chunky salsa. Food portions are pretty big and many dishes could feed 2 people if you're not too hungry. My favorite items were the arroz con pollo and paella. Both were similar, coming out in a small cast iron pan but with different preparations. My favorite part was honestly the rice which was very flavorful. I only wish that there was a little more char and crunch like in traditional paella but I was very satisfied with everything. Food: Arroz con pollo: 4.5/5 Paella valenciana: 4.5/5 Ropa vieja cubano: 4/5 Churros: 4/5 read more

Came out to check out my local toy store, Jayden's Toys, but was a bit early. So I rode over after finding this place on Yelp. This place was amazing. The food was great and the service was excellent. I had the Cuba sandwich which was good and the rice and beans were great. I had the maduros which were also good. It's a small place which adds to the welcoming spirit of the staff. The food came out quick. You can tell it's a good spot when regulars are coming in and the staff treats them like family. Highly recommend this place. read more

E B Latin Bistro - Cuban El Cubano Sandwich and Maduros - Cuban Near Me - Plano, Texas

Spot on with food and services. Went in thinking it would be something different - didn't closely review the menu. I was surprised at all of the options - the Cubano was spot on. Service was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. We even had a picky eater in the group and they enjoyed it. The restaurant could use some my venting of the deep fryer - a somewhat strong odor coming from the kitchen. Otherwise, a really great meal and dining experience. read more

Our Texas Rovers club meets at EB Latin Bistro regularly to discuss business. We find this location extremely convenient as members are in the Dallas area and their close proximity to the tollway makes it easy for me too. I've had a few items here in the past and their seafood paella (del mar) is the highlight. I definitely enjoyed the variety of shrimp, calamari, cod fish, sea scallops, mussels in a cast iron pan. The table gets complimentary chips and salsa which are bottomless. Those fresh chips get refilled without question when we run out. I've had the ensalda con pollo as well which is a healthier option if you're looking for something lighter. Finish off the meal with a cortadito, popular with the Cubans as it's an espresso with a little bit of steamed milk on top. Credit cards and split checks are no problem. read more

Delicious. The arrow con pollo was amazing. So savory and flavorful. Well seasoned and chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. Service was fast. The venue is adorable. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Service was awesome. The only thing is it's really small inside, but it does give that vibe of being in Spain. The food was pretty good too, we got the empanadas (beef) very delicious, the two person paella (loaded with a ton of seafood), cuban sandwich (the sandwich itself could be a little more crispy), and the churro ice cream. read more

Service is really good. I would recommend the Cuban or the steak sandwiches! Cuban coffee came out a bit sweet. It may be too sweet for most, but that's the way it's typically made, so adjust and you'll be find. It's my preferred Cuban restaurant. They also have paella. read more

First of all friendly maitre'd who we later found out was the owner, John was welcoming and so nice as we came in. Charming cozy atmosphere. Server was excellent as well, but John was so friendly. The food was absolutely out-of-this-world! We had the jalapeño queso some yucca fries and beef empanadas. We could have stopped there and said it was the best Latin food we've had in Dallas. Then we got the loaded paella... chicken sausage shrimp oh my! Arroz con pollo was incredible! No room for churros- next time! Oh chip's and salsa some of the best we've had! Wow!!! read more

I've had this on my list for a while, and considering I don't live nearby it, I was in the area this particular day and finally got to try it. It's definitely an exceptional meal. I ordered my food to go, since I couldn't linger too long in the area. The staff here is fairly nice and attentive, without being overly hospitable or talkative. It was really the bartender who was Manning the phones, the bar, iand the to go order. He assured me several times that I could have water These maduros may have been close to some of the best I've seen in the DFW area. Soft, caramelized, and a lovely char to the exterior. The rice and beans are normally something I don't get excited about but these were actually really good! The chips and salsa were standard, with the chips being slightly above average in flavor and texture. Their cubano was super well balanced. I was able to taste everything evenly yet separately. The bread could have been more buttery for my taste, but the bread still had a good toasted texture. Overall, a delicious cubano! read more

Came for lunch and everything was incredible- from the food to the drinks to the customer service. We got the seafood paella and ordered some Mojitos; everything was excellently made! We will definitely be back. read more

Small family owned business with great food and service. Maybe 8-10 total tables inside but we were able to get in on a Saturday evening.

Small cozy restaurant and the service is a tiny bit slow but it's all made up for by the absolutely delicious food! I've never had better rice anywhere else. Highly recommend for good Cuban or Mexican food! read more

Great food with great customer service to match! Empanadas are simply delicious as well as many selections to choose from. Can't wait to go back! read more

Finally posting reviews after the 2nd visit. It was better at last! A little sketchy plaza area, however, once you enter this restaurant, you would know you are in the right place. 1. Service 4.5/5 Fast and smooth service. Food comes out fairly quick and staffs are pretty easy going. Complementary chips and salsa until we decide on what to eat. Reasonable price as well. Paella del Mar for 2, 1 order of paella de Valencia, and the mango salad were enough for 4 hungry girls and we paid less then $20 per person including tax/good tips. 2. Food 4.5/5 I like the paella del Mar the best. Colorful and beautiful presentation. It comes a little bland (which I prefer) with natural ingredients, which taste perfect with the salsa we get provided. I liked the grilled mango salad as well. Refreshing and warm at the same time which makes it digest easier. read more

5 stars here all the way service food decor music I loved it all and they had some of the most authentic paella I've tasted in the DFW. There were people at both tables on each side of us and judging from what they ordered you can't go wrong here no matter what you order. I say come in and just ask for what's good and start there. The sprite is fresh fresh too!! read more

Great neighborhood latino food! The service was great and food came out so fast! Even the paella, which usually takes quite a while at other restaurants. All the dishes were delicious. We ordered the seafood paella, the grilled shrimp and the rice with brisket. For my family's Asian taste buds, we preferred the seafood paella and grilled shrimp the best! Ambiance was cozy and fun. I'll have to try to frozen margs when I come back next! read more

I could say so many great things about this place. We are regulars now, and every time we go we get consistently delicious food!!! You will be happy with anything you order, but my husband and I LOVE the vaca frita (and we sub the white rice with yellow rice). It is hands down, the most delicious meal I've ever had from a Latin restaurant in DFW. I'm Puerto Rican and I can say this place serves legitimate Latin food!! Seriously, try it out and you won't be disappointed. Honorable (and oh so delicious) mentions include: -arroz con pollo -paella -cubano (my dad's favorite) -EB's grilled shrimp (trust me on this!!) -ropa vieja Highly suggest getting tostones or maduros with the meal. Whew those are always divine. And if you like to drink, they make delicious mojitos! Please try them out. You will not regret it! read more

E B Latin Bistro - Vaca fritaaaaa - Cuban Near Me - Plano, Texas

We stop by before getting to our Hotel. I want to try the paella. Places are small and a bit disorganized. The paella was good in taste, presentation needed some help. Empanadas and maduros were good. Our waiter was nice not talkative or friendly. The bathroom did not have any toilet paper. Will recommend it for a quick bite but not a sit-town dinner. read more

What a fun little treat of a place. Four of us ate at lunch and everything was delicious. The sauce that comes with the salmon and pork chops were awesome. The paella Valencia was really, really good. And the Vaca Frita was something special. Service was great too! We'll be back for sure. read more

Nice small cuban bistro, this was our second visit with a year between both visits. Today we ordered two entrees, one was Ropa Vieja and the other one was Vaca frita, both were good, but ropa vieja had more flavors, because the meat tasted better with the sauce and Vaca Frita tasted a little on the dry side. Patricia was very attentive and friendly. We will return for a taste of a Cuban sandwich for sure! read more

HOLY MOLY THIS PLACE IS A HOLE IN THE WALL!! please come. at least once. and please get the Paella.. any of them. My brother in law hyped this place up for me and I usually don't like mexican/latina food. I finally gave in and decided to come and why have i not come sooner?! Everything we got was amazing! Paella Valencina - this is more meat based. next time i definitely want to try the seafood paella. We ordered Ropa vieja to share and I wish I just ate it for myself. It was so good! The meat was so soft and seasoned just right. Everything was not too salty, or too bland. it was perfect! Please stay for their flan. It wasn't too sweet it was just fabulous I def think this place deserves more hype! read more

Hidden gem with a Cuban and Asian twist. Very interesting menu with lots of variety. Upon entering there was a tinge of an odor but maybe mildew of some sort. The owners were incredible sweet and accommodating. We ordered the empanadas and the queso, very tasty! The owner was very attentive and friendly- we enjoyed that. My paella was inexpensive but not a large serving. The chicken did not have a lot of meat, but my friends ribeye was definitely something to write home about- it was delicious and juicy. Fun little joint, maybe a few renovations could help- more lighting-windows and updated decor would really freshen the place up. I would definitely go back. read more

Maybe they were having an off day? The paella was overcooked, chicken was dry, the waiter gave the kitchen the wrong order. We know good Cuban food (I used to live in Miami) and this was just not good. Didn't live up to the reviews at all. Not even a little bit. read more

First time trying E B Latin Bistro! They have indoor and outdoor seating available, but we sat inside. I normally am not a big fan of salsa, but I wanted to drink the salsa it was so good. I also LOVED the Bisctec Cubano but just could not eat the quesadilla. The pork it's self was super delicious but it was just so oily that the tortilla was soaked, so I'd recommend getting the sandwich instead of the quesadilla. There was only one waiter that day and he was very nice. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean. read more
