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 quality-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.

Encina Rule #1: ALWAYS get an appetizer. 👏⁠
⁠
Might we suggest the Pork Ribs? Apricot Purée, Fresno Hot Sauce, and Celery Leaf bring a little sweet, a little heat, and a very good start to dinner.⁠
