E.B. Latin Bistro in Southwest Plano,a little-known Cuban-inspired spot, has been open for almost six years. Owner John Kim greets
E.B. Latin Bistro in southwest Plano, a little-known Cuban-inspired spot, has been open for almost six years. Owner John Kim greets everyone who enters and seems to have a good memory for repeat customers. He’s usually doing all of the front-of-the-house chores: greeting, seating, serving, and in between, stopping by and chatting at each table. It’s a physically small space, but the food and atmosphere are larger.
They offer a wide-variety of Cuban-style sandwiches, wraps , quesadillas, salads , grill selections , enchiladas and tacos. But what we really come here for is the paella, which comes in several varieties: seafood, vegetable, and a chicken, sausage, seafood combo.We started with a ropa vieja Cubano sandwich, made with brisket, onions and bell peppers sautéed with red ropa vieja sauce and melted Monterey jack cheese. It's served on Cuban bread along with black bean soup and yellow rice.
The best part of a paella is the slightly crunchy and smoky layer of rice at the bottom of the skillet, and since there’s a fine line between a nice crust and burned rice, this can be hit or miss. The paella we got at this visit did not have as much crust as we preferred, but it did have some. Our first visit to this spot, on the other hand, featured a paella with a much more substantial crust.
Recommended, but just don’t forget to scrape the bottom of the skillet if you want to stay on the good graces of the owner. E.B. Latin Bistro, 6505 W. Park Blvd. , 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday, 12-8 p.m. Sunday, Closed Monday., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
