After a decent but not great meal for a party of five, I was surprised when my bill came to me with a 20% tip added in automatically. The waiter made no mention of it but I noticed it. This is what I would have tipped anyway. I gave my credit card for the waiter to process payment and return. When he brought the receipt back to me, there was nothing to indicate the added tip, but there was a blank space for me to add a tip. Fortunately I had seen the tip on the itemized bill (which was not presented when the receipt came back), and I avoided being duped into double tipping. I find this practice to be deceptive. At a minimum the waiter should have told me clearly that the tip was already included. read more

Pulled up to E Bar on a Thursday night around 8:30 PM and while they've got a small parking lot, they only had one spot left and I'd imagine it's pretty challenging to park on a weekend. I'm not a queso connoisseur by any means, but E Bar's is one that lives rent free in my brain. We also grabbed margs for the table and they are very strong. One was enough to get most of us sloshed and even the mango marg tasted like it was pure tequila. Chips were thin and lightly crunchy that just tells you they've gotta be pretty fresh. E Bar Queso (4/5): Just a really nice quality, smooth, salty yellow queso. The ground beef was nicely seasoned and the avocado added a lighter creaminess, but I think just the queso would have been a solid choice as well. Creamy Spinach Queso (4.25/5): I'm usually whatever about creamed spinach, so it really surprised me when I preferred this over the original! It almost felt like a spinach artichoke dip throughout decadent white cheese. read more

E Bar Tex-Mex - E Bar Queso - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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. read more

E Bar Tex-Mex - Chicken and Seasoned Steak Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

I've eaten at E-bar over 500 times in the last 7-8 years. I've had them cater my birthday at my house, I've had parties in the restaurant I used to live in East Dallas right next to it. The last 6 mos, it has been insane how expensive it has gotten. A meltdown margarita was $12.25 a few months ago, then $14.25, then $15.25 and now $16.25. I get that food cost is up and traffic is probably down, but this is not helping you. As someone who visits almost every Saturday, I'm going to be slowing down and making alternate decisions. This past Saturday, 2 entrees, 3 margaritas + tip was $130. A frozen margarita with tax and tip should not be $20... E-bar is casual food and $20/ a drink is the cost of a cocktail at the nicest spots in Dallas. I know I'm just one customer, but I'm not going to do it as often. Hope you all reconsider your margarita AND food pricing as I'd love to continue to be a frequent customer, but refused to be gouged. Advertise $10 margaritas and watch how many people flood in. read more

Horrible customer service m and one of my friend girls went out for a quick bite and a drink I took her there for the first time she ordered a appetizer,entree and a drink I just got a entree and a drink when it was time to get the ticket I looked over my receipt and notice there was a appetizer on my receipt as well I told Trever that I didn't order a appetizer he said well I seen you sharing with her so I split the appetizer then goes and take it off my tab and add it to hers... read more

Service was immediate as we walked thru the doors. We did not have a lunch reservation but they were able to sit us right away. The staff is knowledgeable and knew the menu quite well. They even made some suggestions and recommendations that we took. The restaurant seems small but it holds several small tables with a large bar area. Parking is also plentiful and conveniently right across the street. Must return so I can give a well informed food review. read more

Service was awesome today. Seated quick. Trevor my server had great vibes. Everything is awesome so far. The ambiance is cool for a Friday afternoon. Couple of large groups bar is/was full of plenty of room now. Would've been 5 stars today but the Cobb looks better than it tastes. Not bad but not great either. The chicken was just ok, the bacon was delicious but I mean it's bacon it's always delicious and the shrimp had a little fish taste but overall I'd give it a 5.5 out of 10. Definitely will be getting the fajitas next time which are amazing by the way but I was trying to eat healthy today. Also quick update I thought it was an automatic gratuity but maybe that's just when you sit at the bar. read more

I've heard so many good things about this place, I thought it was high time I tried it out. I was feeling brunchy so I ordered the migas. They were solid, not my favor ever, but definitely did the trick. Dan got the Ebar Benedict with chorizo. Tangy hollandaise with non spicy chorizo. They were good. Our waiter Jesse was attentive but not cloying. Just about perfect service. I like the chill, funky atmosphere which is a bit Austinesque. read more

Everything about the EBAR is great. It's worth the journey to get to the destination. That's a great place to go if you're gonna have a meltdown.( which is actually a very strong margarita). The fajitas are phenomenal the enchiladas I've never had anything bad and it's the best text. I've taken friends who no text back that aren't from here and they hands-down think it's great as well. The seat is normal two tops four tops a back bar a front bar and the service is really good. They do get crowded so please be patient with your server the food comes out really fast as well. It seems to, but please try to save room for dessert because they've got the best flan I've ever had. read more

The people at this bar are the best. I like the spinach and mushroom enchiladas and buckets of chips and salsa.

E bar is a beloved Dallas staple, but I personally cannot say that I am a fan. To begin, it is very disorganized leading to a claustrophobic feeling even if it's not that busy and the chairs are uncomfortable. Upon entering, we were greeted at the host stand with a smile; however, it quickly went down hill from there. Our server didn't come by our table to introduce himself or anything for a solid 10-15 minutes and we considered leaving as we thought they didn't assign a server to us. Once the server came over, he had no waters and didn't give us the time of day to ask any questions about the menu. We ended up only getting drinks and an appetizer and it was clear that the server was upset we weren't ordering anything else. For our order, we got margaritas and the stuffed jalapeños. Both were very standard and nothing special, but for the price, I expected better. They are clearly doing something right as lots of people rave about how great it is, but unfortunately I cannot agree. read more

This spot has really good tex-mex. I usually judge a mexican place by their chicken enchiladas, and these are very good. Simple shredded chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce, rice and beans. For me that is one of the best plates of food around, and this one is good. Ther e-bar queso was freaking amazing as well. read more

Matt was very disrespectful and rude. I came here on vacation and was having a great time until Matt decided to tell my sister It was a health code violation to not have one sandal on and the other tucked under her set as a patron ,then he continued to violate other health code violations not washing hands after touching public entrance/exit, walking around with both hand in his jean pockets, touching his face and bathroom doors. Also when my sister that goes here regularly, asked for a manger Matt said he was the manager and only washed his hands "to appease us" and for a good review, Matt also threatened to ban us if "anything else like this came up." Very unprofessional and bad behavior from management. read more

This might be unpopular to say but E Bar has the best hot dog in Dallas. Yes, I said that. And I stand by it. Please don't be fooled by fancy hot dogs. Perfect seasoning and a hot buttered bun. Finish it with the most flavorful fries? Umm yes please. And because you can get a margarita with this hot dog it is unmatched. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's better than Costco's hot dog and I'll go to Costco just for a dog. Get the hot dog. You won't regret it. read more
