    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.

    E Bar Queso

    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.

    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.

    Chicken and Seasoned Steak Fajitas

    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!

    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.

    Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup

    Had the creamy chicken fajita soup - giving 5 stars for that soup bc it exceeded my expectations

    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.

    Taco salad with steak fajita meat

    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.

    Chile!
    Phil B.

    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.

    Queso "cup" was so much we left in a #quesocoma and don't even get me started on the Meltdown Marg on the rocks ....this place is a keeper and so is Nick

After requesting a water to go, we were unexpectedly accused by the bartender, Jake, of placing an alcoholic beverage into a to-go cup. The accusation was embarrassing, unnecessary, and made even more uncomfortable by the fact that it was made publicly and without cause. To be fair, the manager on staff handled our complaint regarding Jake professionally and with care, which we truly appreciated. However, the situation itself left a lasting negative impression. As professionals in the criminal law and medical fields, we value professionalism, discretion, and respectful communication. Being wrongly accused in that manner was disappointing and frankly humiliating. Because of this experience, we will not be returning anytime soon, despite what had otherwise been an enjoyable evening.

A few important notes though: this place is SUPER loud, especially upstairs, so if you are trying to take your older parents somewhere for a nice dinner where you can actually catch up and have a conversation, this might not be the spot. Also, avoid the upstairs dining room if anyone has mobility issues. The stairs are a little sketchy in that dark space because you basically have to TRUST there is another stair step in front of you even though you can't see it. And a heads up, do not wander into the wrong bathroom upstairs like my husband did because the "men's" and "ladies" signs upstairs are also nearly impossible to read in the dark! But honestly, those are really my only complaints... The service and food were both very good. We had a couple of ordering fumbles. We got the regular queso, and then immediately watched another table get the tableside flaming queso and we were seriously bummed. Like, really bummed. That is definitely what I will be ordering next time. The chips and smoky salsa were excellent!! - and I always appreciate when everyone gets their own little portion of salsa so everyone can double dip without feeling like a heathen. I ordered the wagyu fajitas (the half portion), and it was still easily enough food for two people. I will say the meat was more like a filet mignon texture and less like the flavorful fajita meat I was expecting. My friend's pork fajitas were actually much better and had more flavor. When the manager stopped by to check on us, I had to announce my own birthday because apparently my friends were not going to help me out with that (some friends, huh?). They brought out a complimentary sopapilla cheesecake with a candle, which was a very nice touch. All in all, I loved the place and totally understand the hype. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is valet parking, but we found easy parking across the street. I cannot wait to come back and try that flaming queso!

    LOVE this place. God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas…read more First of all, please never change the queso- it is heaven sent and we always take it to-go (I'm NEVER leaving the rest behind) and it tastes even better the next day. This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!
