Encina Dallas

Encina Dallas Uncomplicated yet adventurous comfort food in Bishop Arts. Family-owned, neighborhood-loved since 2020. Craft cocktails & seasonal Texas flavors.

Encina is a neighborhood gem in Dallas's Bishop Arts District, created by Chef Matt Balke and Corey McCombs. Named after the original designation of Uvalde, Texas—Matt's hometown—we bring elevated comfort food to life through seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients. Since opening in October 2020, we've cultivated a "Cheers-like" atmosphere where regulars become family. Our culinary approach starts with q

uality-focal ingredients supported by fresh elements from local farmers. Chef Matt, a CIA graduate who trained under James Beard Award-winner Sharon Hage, creates dishes that honor simplicity and thoughtful execution. Our beverage program follows suit with approachable cocktails and a curated wine selection. Whether you're visiting for dinner, Sunday brunch, or happy hour, Encina offers a dining experience that's both familiar and exciting—like coming home to a meal prepared with love and expertise. We're proud of our team and the relationships we've built with our guests. Welcome to our table.

One bite of our Everything Bagel and suddenly ordering just one for the table doesn't seem like enough.⁠
⁠
Smoked salmon rillettes, deviled egg purée, and labneh come together for a savory brunch starter that's worth sharing (or not 😉).⁠

It’s on our dinner and brunch menu for a reason. 🥗⁠
⁠
Mixed Greens with lardons, blue cheese, Green Goddess dressing, and Chef Matt’s homemade pecan granola somehow manages to be rich, fresh, crunchy, and craveable all at once.⁠
⁠
Order it once and you’ll understand.⁠

A little lime. A little sea salt. A lot of people fighting over the last Shish*to. 🌶️ Charred, citrusy, and finished with sea salt, these are one of those “just one more” kind of dishes that somehow turns into an empty plate every single time.⁠
