Nostalgic is the immediate thought once you enter Dove's, a Tex-Mex diner in Wicker Park with retro digs and a jukebox playing tunes reminiscent of your grandparents' house. The small space was configured to accommodate nearly 50 customers, with counter seats and a bar area stocked with tequila and mezcal-based drinks. Customers praise the choice menu items, moderately priced with portion sizes to match. Between the Chicken Fried Chicken and the Burnt Ends Hash, one finds it difficult to decide a favorite. Whether you're dropping in for a piping hot cup of coffee or gathering during the week for Happy Hour (M-F, 3-6p), customers will be met by a warm staff in the bustling neighborhood, proving Dove's to be a welcoming find, being tucked off beneath the Damen blue line tracks.
