About Lonesome Rose

Lonesome Rose is a restaurant that offers a hipster Mexican-themed cuisine, known for its friendly service and a charming rooftop patio, a great place to relax with a cold drink. The menu features standout dishes such as vegan cheese nachos, highly praised by those who tried them, and the tilapia fish taco, ranked as the best among other options. The restaurant is also recognized for its exceptional vegan options and its perfectly crafted margaritas, making it a hidden gem in Logan Square, Chicago. Customers praise the delicious food and great service, with some noting the portion sizes are smaller than expected and a bit overpriced. The brisket barbacoa bowl is smaller than hoped but still tasty, and the brisket fries are so filling they could be shared. Happy hour offers a $8 frozen margarita with a swirl, and bartenders are friendly and funny. The horchata and breakfast burrito with hollandaise are highly recommended, especially for those who enjoy brunch or eggs. The rooftop during happy hour is a favorite spot, with some guests describing the margarita slushy as delicious and the space as very cute. The queso is praised as the best in the city, and the tacos are flavorful and fresh, even if not entirely authentic Mexican. Overall, it's a fun spot for a date or hanging out with friends, though some visitors have noted that the atmosphere can be affected by noise from takeout customers gathering nearby. Despite this, many plan to return and enjoy the lively setting.
