“The food was very tasty service was very good and fast we ate the brisket nachos and they where amazing we also had the brisket enchiladas and they where out of this world I love the atmosphere and the decorations the restaurant makes you feel good and comfortable parking is easy to find and the restrooms are every clean even though they only have a one person restroom over Al it was great and I will most definitely be back“

“The food here is always top notch! The salsa has good flavor while not being too hot. The chips are light and crisp. The tortillas are on point. The grilled onions and peppers are at the perfect level of doneness. The bean soup I add avacado to. It’s amazing. The verde sauce and sour cream sauce on the enchiladas are so good I get both. And the acoustic panels on the ceiling are essential in a brick and concrete space that is as busy as Ebar always is. Makes for a pleasant environment. 🤌“

It’s always great to be greeted by Sofie’s sweet smile. These guys are like family and are what make this place so special to us.“

Kid-friendliness: It’s a family place.“

“The friendliest and most helpful staff (and people) that I encountered in this airport. They greeted me by thanking me - so sweet. The server asked if I had any time constraints, which was 20 minutes. I was able to eat and get back to my gate in time. Super efficient!

Location is in the newer end of the terminal, near the (also new) restrooms which are few and far between. Worth the walk down here!“

“Came here with coworkers after a morning event for lunch and can confidently say this is top TexMex food! I got the Cancun Meal which came with an tamal, enchilada, crispy taco, rice/beans and tortillas. Perfect plate to try everything and everything tasted great! Something to note, only learned cause I asked. There are three different salsas for your chips. The standard one is a warm, more liquid version but you can ask for a fresca or picosa option too! I asked for the fresca and my peers tried it and everyone wanted the fresca option instead! Give it a try! Service was spectacular from beginning to end.“

“Gonzalez is pretty tasty Mexican and tex-mex food. The ambiance and vibe are great- they stay decorated all year long for whatever holiday is next and they always ride for the Dallas Cowboys.
Their margaritas as pretty decent and the beer is cold. Servers are friendly and the service is good.“

“Today you guys really helped me out when my car broke down!! I appreciate you letting me and my baby wait while our car got fixed! Very, very nice people!! Thank you again!“

“Great food and great services for many years!“

“This is a week late but oh so memorable. The bartenders and hosts up at the Monkey Bar last week were by far the most epic time ever. Chris and Brad i believe were on point with multiple orders and split checks. We absolutely tore it up and had the best time thanks to you and your staff up there. We will be back again next week and look so forward to it and the Mambos ...“

“Best Mexican restaurant I've been to so far! I used to work for a Taco Bueno and I thought they were pretty good. This place blows them outta the water! The beans are seasoned perfectly, the queso is delicious and doesn't just taste like Velveeta. The meats are juicy and the menu is plenty varied. I 100% will be coming back here for years to come with my family.“

“Great! I love eating here“
