E Bar Tex-Mex

Tucked away off the beaten path between East Dallas and Uptown, this cozy brick-lined cantina has locals cramming in at all hours– not only for the incredible drink specials on offer everyday (including $3 hand-crafted margaritas on Tuesdays and $2 mimosas at weekend brunch), but also for the phenomenal food. You seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from the spicy white queso topped with taco meat, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños to tacos, enchiladas, carne guisada (a Tex-Mex style beef stew), grilled shrimp and the like. But the showstopper here has to be Jorge's tacos. These bundles of flavorsome joy come loaded up with ground beef, shredded chicken, brisket or carnitas and are served on freshly griddled corn tortillas. Cool the burn with said margaritas which come every which way– from straight up on-the-rocks to frozen and swirled in flavors like mango and strawberry. Oh, and did we mention that they serve breakfast all day and stay open until 2 a.m.?
