2.0 Taco & Tequila Bar at DFW (Gate E31 Guide)

Shop Overview

2.0 Taco & Tequila Bar is a vibrant, gate-adjacent dining bar at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) focused on what travelers want most: quick, satisfying tacos paired with a solid tequila lineup. It’s designed for speed and convenience, but with enough energy to feel like a real pre-flight stop rather than “just airport food.”

Expect a casual bar-and-grill experience where the star is the taco-and-tequila pairing. While you won’t find luxury retail-style exclusives here, the appeal is in the Tex-Mex-forward menu and the ability to grab a bite (or a round) without leaving your gate area. Service is typically optimized for travelers—orders move quickly, and the bar setup makes solo dining easy.

What to Buy

• Best-sellers: Tacos (mix-and-match if available), chips with salsa/queso-style dips, and a tequila-based cocktail or straight pour.
• Smart “airport-proof” orders: A couple of tacos plus a side is usually the fastest full meal; add a bottled drink or simple cocktail if you’re watching boarding time.
• Local/regional angle: If the menu offers Texas-leaning fillings or spice-forward salsas, lean into them—DFW is one of the best airports to get a quick Tex-Mex taste between flights.
• Price perspective: As a dining venue, duty-free savings don’t apply. Prices are generally in line with major U.S. airport dining—expect a premium versus off-airport taquerias, but you’re paying for post-security convenience and gate proximity.

Location & Hours

Where to find it: Terminal E, after security, near Gate E31. Once you’re in the E concourse, follow overhead gate signage toward E31; the bar is positioned for easy walk-up access from the gate seating area.

Hours: Listed as Now open on DFW’s official directory. At DFW, most post-security dining operates roughly in line with flight banks (often early morning through evening), but exact hours can shift—confirm day-of using the DFW interactive map/app, especially for early departures or late arrivals.

Peak vs. quiet times: Busiest periods tend to be breakfast and lunch flight banks and late afternoon/early evening departures. Quieter windows are typically mid-morning and mid-afternoon between rushes—ideal if you want faster service and easier bar seating.

Shopping Tips

• Plan for boarding: If your flight is tight, order items that travel well (tacos and sides) and consider asking what can be served fastest.
• Duty-free note: This is not a duty-free location. If you’re trying to save on spirits for an international trip, consider shopping at DFW duty-free stores elsewhere post-security.
• Payment: Most DFW venues accept major credit/debit cards and mobile wallets; carry a card as backup in case tap-to-pay is busy.
• Returns/refunds: Dining purchases typically follow standard food-service policies—inspect packaged items before leaving the counter and address issues immediately for the easiest resolution.
