Great location in a hip area. Food and drinks were very disappointing. Bland. Overpriced. Not worthy of their hope.

I read where if you smell of marijuana you are not welcomed in this establishment. But I guess if you reek of alcohol, you’re a pill popper you’re welcome anytime

What a pleasent surprise! Got in late and was hungry, finding open options at 1030 at night that isnt fast food is hard to find, but we saw this place on Yelp and so glad we tried it! Their tortillas were delicious, their tacos were...authentic and prepared perfectly! Do not hesitate. Super casual, but that makes it even better! Side note, we had a amazing server that gave us some great tips about other places to try!More

I've been to E Bar once before and I loved it, so I went today for a second visit. We got there as they were opening, so not busy yet. They seem to have plenty of parking, there is parking adjacent to the restaurant and...I believe there is also parking in a lot directly across the street. I've only ever sat inside, but they do have patio seating which I believe is air conditioned. They have a lot of Banquette seating, which I don't care for, particularly when the tables are spaced where you have to squeeze between tables to get in or out, and theirs are pretty close together. That's just a personal peeve, which doesn't sway my opinion on their food, because the food is great! Our server was relatively new (I heard him tell the table next to us how long he'd been there) and he was upbeat, attentive and did a great job, checking on us and keeping our glasses full. We split an order of Jorge's Tacos, you get four to an order which you can pick your combo (we had Brisket (2), Carnitas, Beef Fajita). I have to say we had them on our previous visit and they are AWESOME! They are pan fried and have cheese, cilantro, jalapeno and onion...Yum!! There was one disappointment on this visit, which was that we ordered Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce and what we got were Cheese Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce. We really wanted to try the Chicken Enchiladas because we'd tried the Cheese Enchiladas when we were there previously. Having said that, we didn't bother our server to get that error in our order corrected, in part because he was busy and in part because they have pretty amazing Cheese Enchiladas and they were even more AMAZING with their Tomatillo Sauce. I have to add that they ranks way up there on my list as it was pretty perfect, it had the perfect amount of tangy that makes the sauce. Our ticket showed that error wasn't on the servers part, because it did show Chicken Enchiladas, so just a error in the kitchen and we enjoyed every bite of everything they put in front of us...so all good! I'd recommend them and I'll definitely be going back as they may be moving their way up to the top of my most favorite Tex-Mex restaurants.More

Arrived at 5pm thinking it would not be busy that early. I was wrong. Got a table before too long tho. Salsa was not good. Spicy catchup at best. Chips seemed like store bought. Meals took 40 minutes to serve after the order. W it...wasn’t the servers fault. She was attentive. Quality of the food was good but not great. Drinks were ok. Can’t figure out what the great ratings are all about.More

Beware, they add 20% auto grat on tables of FIVE or more. Ive never heard of that. Its very easy to miss on the menu and on the bill, which I'm betting they are counting on. So, I double tipped. When I noticed my mistake...(I accidentally got home with the bill instead of my credit card receipt) I called and asked to speak to the manager. She said (Im paraphrasing) tough tacos!!! We for sure won't be back.More

We enjoyed the food and generous portions, reasonably priced. It is a popular, casual and busy place even during the week, quite noisy at times.

We came to E Bar because we noted pups were allowed on the patio. We traveled from out of town so not familiar with the restaurant. My husband entered while I waited outside the door to confirm our 2.5 lb pup inside a carry bag...was ok. He came out and said yes come on in. Upon entry it appeared as a very small and overly crowded bar. We were seated on the patio which was enclosed with plastic and chips/salsa were brought to table. The waiter came out and took our drink order. As we waited a woman who was probably the manager approached us and said we could not stay and had to leave because of the dog. I explained we looked up dog friendly restaurants and E Bar came up as such not to mention we were told it was ok if we were on patio. She said no that wasn’t the case and said we could sit on the outer patio which was not enclosed to have a drink but no food????? I asked “we can have a drink but no food?” Her response was yes but we won’t be able to serve you any food you’ll have to leave. Not only was this quite embarrassing but as an insulin dependent diabetic I needed to eat and by allowing us to not only enter but to take our order etc we wasted 15-20 min then had to figure out where to go thereafter. Bottom line, why would you seat us and take our order in the first place, and if we could drink out on the outer patio we should be able to eat as well. There was nobody seated on the outer patio either. Poor management and handling of the situation all around. I guess I should have avoided all together anyway after seeing review of roaches on tables inside. I would give zero score but not an option.More

I came in to try this place since it had good reviews . Immediately upon arrival things started off bad . They had 2 of the 3 visible televisions at my view on the mavericks game and the one I can see on another channel....I asked if I could have it changed to the mavericks playoff game also and they said no because a regular at the bar was watching it . The gentlemen was watching the Mavs game and not caring for the baseball game at all !!! I said are you watching the game or can you move so I can see the Mavericks game and he said I’m a regular. I the. Had a group seated next to me and they asked why the tv couldn’t be changed . I then told them what I was told. Immediately after that his girlfriend screams and there’s two roaches on the table . A guy who was handing out the chips grabs them and kills them and walks off like if it was normal . None of the staff seems phased by any of this . I just hope these pictures and videos I took explain why you shouldn’t visit this place .More

We found out about this place by reading the reviews of another resteraunt and the review on the other site for this place made me take notice. We ordered the beef fajitas and the loaded queso. OMG, it was so good!!. The fajitas were so...flavorful & very tender. A single order of fajitas fed a very large man and 2 women. There were 2 whole pieces of meat cut into about 15 slices each. The queso had an entire Jalepenos cut into rounds in it along with a ton of Hamburger meat. We even had left overs. The fajitas were a little over $18, but considering they fed 3 people, we thought it was a bargain. I would definitely recommend this deer. They even delivered it to our hotel. Great job guys!!More

I have 3 tests for a Tex Mex place and E-Bar passes all with flying colors: (1) salsa (2) ground beef / ground beef tacos and (3) margaritas. I've never had a bad meal here. Everything is exceptional. My husband and I usually split Jorge's...tacos - 4 tacos stuffed with your choice of filling. We get 2 brisket and 2 ground beef and then take one of each. There E Bar queso also has guacamole, sour cream, ground beef and tomatoes and is always a family favorite. The elotes are so fresh and the perfect mix of sweet, tangy and spicy. The margaritas - yum. My husband summed it up best: "Their food is so good that even their filler s$%t is good." He was referring, of course, to the lettuce, cheese and pico on the side.More
