Review for Ebys Bar- WHAT A FUN SPOT AND CONCEPT!! I've heard of Ebys and the notorious owner since I studied abroad in 2019. After recently returning to Florence I had the opportunity to give this bar a try and was blown away by the nightlife and attention to detail with each shot. There are 3 components to Ebys- the Latin food bar across the street, the Ebys bar, and the shot window located near the bar and outdoor seating. There is usually a long line while everyone waits for the owner to hand-craft a specialty shot. We ordered the Mexicano shot and were blown away by his attention to detail. Just when we thought it was over, he pulled out an additional ingredient. There's almost a layer of comedy to how elaborate these shots are. He also explained to us that before taking the shots we have to do a little bow, bite the apple, and then take the shot. So fun! Definitely one of a kind. If you want to order a regular drink, you can go inside. We ordered a Negroni, aperol spritz, and some beers which were great! read more

Cute bar with great service and excellent drinks ! I wish I would've read the reviews before we went in . I would've tried one of the owners infamous shots. It was fun watching people have them . We walked past it everyday and needed a break from walking one day and sat down . Glad we did. read more

Eby's Latin - Mezzican mojito and aperol spritz - Mexican Near Me - Florence, FI

Staying in Florence for a couple of days and I saw Eby's on the way to my hotel. Cute little family shop on the corner. First time I tried the pork and cheese empanada and it was really tasty with flaky crust. Next day I went back and tried the sausage, and the eggplant with cheese. All good @ 2.50€ each and they heat it up for you to take away. Fast and delicious! read more

Great food and service. We needed a change of cuisine during our 2 week stay in this hit the spot. Great empanadas and the chicken burritos were very fresh and flavorful. Note the food order is across the street from their bar and seating area. read more

Eby's is Florence's hidden gem! The owner makes the best shots!!! Just tell him if you like sweet or not so sweet shots.... he is an artist at what he does! In true Italian fashion he makes miniature master pieces in every shot! This is a MUST!!! if you come to Florence!!! read more

The best Latin food in Florence! I had a spicy chicken and vegetable burrito and it was fresh and delicious. Prices are perfect, too! The sangria is a must have. Get the larger size for only a euro more, you'll end up wanting more if you get the small glass. The empanadas are so good! They have all kinds to choose from and they're only €1.50 each. The ladies working there when I visited were very nice! read more

This is a hidden gem in florence. We are so sad we found this place our last day in florence. The servers were amazing and the drinks were over the top. I recommend the Russian/sweet shot. We fell in love with this place and the way they make drinks. read more

Eby's Latin - After the damage. - Mexican Near Me - Florence, FI

I have been frequenting Eby's any time I'm in Florence since I lived there in 2002 - and it always delivers. We first stumbled upon Eby's while wandering from bar to bar - it was like a bright beacon of light when we were starving in the middle of the night! Eby makes amazing fillings for burritos, the house made tortillas are incredible, and the guacamole and sangria can't be beat. (Americans should note - It's not your traditional guacamole, it's more of a creamy spread than a chunky dip) Plus, Eby's is open late, so when you're wandering between bars you can stop for a quick and delicious snack. Eby and his staff are friendly and accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable for a busy Tuscan city. Also - there are crepes for dessert and they're mind blowing if you're craving something sweet in the middle of the night! (especially while bar hopping!) read more

I can't believe I wanted so long to try Eby's Bar. The food is really good. I love the Empanadas here! They offer free WiFi and there is lots of room to sit and work with your laptop or just chat with friends. I tired their enchilladas and burritos and everything was very good. Can't wait to come back one night to try one of their specialty fruit drinks, or smoothies, or desserts or ...or... or .... read more

This place is simply amazing!! The best food you've ever tasted and the people are always friendly and fun to be around. But I promise you that you've NEVER had a shot quite like a shot from Eby!! http://youtu.be/I2Oz4HTVpUQ read more

Eby's !!! Shots Shots Shots with Albert Einstein! A real Alchemist behind the bar will make crazy colored shots for you!!! Stop by after dinner and have one some of them includes Nutella yummy yummy yummy Cheers Eby!! Thank you!! read more

Fun and inviting atmosphere, the shots are amazing and fun, and the food is great and satisfying if you're looking for something quick for lunch read more

Unique! Friendly...delicious...did I say unique?! It's an experience!! And one I'm happy to say I had twice in one day in Florence! I can't wait to come back! I'll probably stop in one more time (maybe 2) before I leave for Rome. Price and taste and service are all on point! Thanks Eby and staff!!!!! read more

Eby's Latin - The man himself!! Eby, his staff, his place...loved every moment!! Twice in one day...it was that good :) - Mexican Near Me - Florence, FI

This place is enormously famous in Florence thanks to its owner that fancies creatives ways of making shots. He created a ritual around his fruity shots: first he prepares them with care and the right amount of time then he explains how it must be savored and in the end he accompanies you saying: vai vai vai, that means go go go! He shouts and people laugh and the crowd grows! Also its choices are always served with fruit and coffee powder, his favorite thing! Prices are still fair and you can also grab a mexican bite late in the night. read more

While I can't speak for the food, the experience was unforgettable! My Italian teacher said we HAD to stop in Eby's before our time in Florence was over. He told us the shots were really unique and eccentric and he wasn't lying! This is not your traditional "knock it back" shot. Each shot I tried was complex had quite a few steps. (Eat banana, take shot, one side of an orange in sugar and the other in espresso). The bartender looked a lot like Albert Einstein and had great energy as he slammed his fists on the counter and yelled "Go! Go! Go!" We asked him to make his favorite shot and it took a good 5+ minutes to make. I'm allergic to coconut but he was more than willing to substitute the coconut vodka for something else. One of my favorite nights in the city! read more

We came here strictly for limoncello shots. So, not much to review on. Lol. But, the shots came out fast and tasted pretty good. He put cocoa or maybe coffee on the rim....different. Lol. After looking at the reviews, I am wishing I had tried more shots....see this guy is a craft of his shots. He looks like doc from Back to The Future or Einstein. Lol. And he acted like it, screaming and yelling....I guess trying to make the shot experience more memorable for some customers. lol. Next time I'm in Florence, we will definitely come by here again and see what all the real hype is about ;) read more

You have to come here if you're going out. The shots are incredible. This dude who looks like Einstein is a fucking legend. he's got that hunched over swagger to him because he's so focused on the art of the shot. Sweet baby Jesus read more

I was so intrigued by the positive reviews and the fun pictures so I decided to come here with a friend on a Saturday night. We wanted to try some of the exotic shots however, apparently they didn't serve them - on a Saturday night !? Alright so we order a large serving of nachos and two cocktails. The drinks were fine but nothing too special for the price. As for the nachos, it looked like they just dumped the rest of an old bag of chips on our plate... Just way too many crumbs. And the cheese was hardly melted. The salsa was fine, the sour cream... Well it's sour cream. But the guacamole looked like they mixed a teaspoon of real guac with a tablespoon of sour cream. I would NOT recommend ordering them at all! On top of that, it seemed like we were imposing by simply being there... Pretty disappointing experience. read more

Mexican? In italy? What are you doing? Don't come here. Their aperitivo is literally chips and salsa. The service was horrible. I will never be returning. read more

Such a heartfelt place from the service to the food. Yum hot plates, fresh tacos guacamole and salsa, amazing cocktails and the best range of rum in town ! Go there for an earthy, warm and unpretentious meal and drinks. Will 100% visit again: read more

After 10 days in Italy my american palate wanted something other than Italian food. My wife found this place near where we were and I was sold. We ordered nachos, chili con carne burrito and pollo burrito, plus non alcoholic drinks, and it came to 17 euro, great value! The employee asked if we wanted the burritos spicy which I love because that tells me they don't just churn out the same old thing, its a craft. The nachos were delicious and the salsa was spicy while the guacamole was cool and tasty. Very good appetizer. The burritos arrived and we started in. They were fantastic and tasty. My burrito was indeed spicy and I tried my wife's which also had great flavor. Super delicious and well worth the money. Please don't think you are getting a chipotle burrito here because this was a hand crafted masterpiece in a city renowned for art, which means its better. I highly recommend this spot if you want something as little different in Italy. read more

Warning: this place is cash only! There's an ATM right around the corner. My friends and I split a pitcher of sangria, a couple empanadas, chips and guac, and a platter of rice, meat, and veggies, because we wanted to try everything. This food is great for the price and really nice if you want a change from pasta and pizza. We went at around 8PM on a Tuesday, and we got the vibe that Eby's is really more of a place to go for a late night scene on the weekends. We're excited to go back on a weekend night and try their famous margaritas, shots, and grab another bite. read more

Fun place. Good drinks, but Eby is the main attraction. If Einstein was a barkeep his nickname would be Eby. Have him make you his rum specialty then prepare a plate of fruit shapers like a face followed by shots. Now you are in Florence or on the floor - ence. read more

I love it. The staffs are great and friendly plus the margaritas sooo damn good. Highly recommend if you want to give a break from wine& aperol and of course pasta& pizza. Mexican is always a good idea read more

They had a sassy bartender that my wife loved. I enjoyed the apertivo with the nachos but the other stuff was just okay. Service was a little slow so make sure you're not in a hurry. The long island was pretty amazing as well. read more

How fun to find a Mexican restaurant in Florence, Italy - and find to be absolutely delicious! They have a very extensive bar in here, and the food was great. There were vegetarian options we enjoyed. It is very close to the Duomo. read more

We had a very enjoyable meal here. This was a great dinner option if you are sick and tired of pizza and pasta. We ordered margaritas, nachos and a couple of burritos. Although there are differences between authentic Mexican food and the menu here, the food was certainly tasty and satisfying. It's just a fun place for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I come here at least a few times a month and it's in my top ten list of places suitable for a fast, cheap and good lunch. Their burritos are extremely delicious(especially the chilli con carne one, spicy, with extra rice) and the location is great; they have a few tables outside right under the "arco di San pierino", sitting there is surprisingly relaxing, you don't even notice all the people and cars passing by. I've actually never spent much time inside as I find the decor a bit outdated and sad, and another reason why I can't give five stars is that I tried their desserts a few times and, especially one filled with Nutella was pretty mediocre. Overall though still a great low-key lunch spot, great value for the price, best "latino" food in town. The girls working there are pretty friendly and usually give you a free shot (fruit and a little alcohol) when you're paying the bill. Check it out! read more
