It was cool. Met some friends on St. Paddy's Day for a happy hour drink. My beer was $6, and her ranch water was $9 (not sure what the happy hour special was), but it was a one and done with no issues. It's super dark inside even on a bright day, so if you are a day drinker, this might be your vibe. Not so much for me.

The burgers are great, the drinks are good and I understand that the kitchen is separate from the bar, but it sucks that they serve you on disposable plates and plastic wrapped plastic silverware. So wasteful.

Perfect place for tacos and margs even among many good options in West Town / Wicker Park area. Spicy margarita was perfect and the fried cheese on the tortillas was dynamite, but they were also able to accommodate dairy-free options.Very cool atmosphere (with some intimate booths as well as bigger tables) and great service, will be back soon.

Good vibe nothing too crazy, not overly crowded. Apparently just opened up like 6 months ago. They had Delirium Tremens on tap. Always a win! I did not try the food but my friend told me that their burgers are amazing, I want to come back and try them when I'm in the area.

This is a perfect date night spot where you wanna feel like functional adults without breaking the bank. The burgers are DELICIOUS, and the loaded fries were infact LOADED. Happy to go again, get the burger!

All around awesome bar on one of the best streets in Chicago. Southwest vibes, great music selections and especially love the trivia pursuit on the tables for some games while you're drinking. Perfect neighborhood go-to joint!!

Pretty disappointing. Everything is ordered through the bar which is annoying. Burgers were too big for the bun and mostly flavorless. Fries weren't crispy. The shrimp taco was good but it was $8 for one. This was all consistent amongst our group of five.
Good new spot! Cute vibes and they have trivia cards at the table which was fun. Saw their tacos on Instagram and had to try and let me say... my fav so far for street tacos in wicker park and possibly in the city. That crispy cheese is the move. The shrimp specifically was amazing 5/5. Steak was also good but needed the hot sauce (homemade and tasty!). They seem pricey but they are stacked with meat so I would prefer that over smaller tacos with less meat personally. We also got the burger. It was good but I would opt for just the tacos next time. Decent but nothing to write home about. I liked the fries though, nice and crispy. Service was friendly but you do have to order and check out at the bar. We were able to order quickly but by the time we left, there were several people waiting for drinks and we had to wait in line with bartender just to cash out. I would suggest the QR/phone checkout option if they don't add servers. But would still come again for tacos and to try drinks next time!

Good dimly lit bar with burgers and tex-mex.Prices are pretty fair and the smash burger is one of the best I've had in the city. Standard beer selection with some nice cocktails. Menu is long enough for some variety but not too long as to have a lot of mid options.The one thing this place needs is some advertisement and better signage or window lights. I walk by regularly and knew there was some renovation going on, but had no idea the place was actually open.

Went to Desert Hawk for dinner and drinks with friends and had the best time! We had a range of cocktails and they were all so good! We had the tacos for dinner, they were very filling and also delicious. Vibes were on point, will definitely be returning!
Great drinks, Mark is the best!
