The owner of local favorite, E-Bar Tex Mex, will open a spinoff restaurant on Greenville Avenue this spring, CultureMap reported.

E-Bar owner Eddie Cervantes, who was also the force behind Primo’s on McKinney Avenue, will debut Eddie’s Tex-Mex Cocina in the former Tacos Mariachi space at 2018 Greenville Ave.

The menu will feature the same tacos, enchiladas and nachos available at E-Bar, but the Greenville location will offer exclusive items like corn tortillas and new cuts of steak and fish, CultureMap reported. The restaurant will also be open for brunch Saturdays and Sundays.

Construction on the space, plus its outdoor patio, began Monday, according to CultureMap.
