The night of our visit it was quiet, except for a table of girls and then a large group came later. Autumn, our server, was attentive and helpful. We both had a Watermelon Palomino which was tasty, but more grapefruit than watermelon. The chips and queso were delicious, and the tacos were good, but not great. Overall, a good place.

Desert Racer is always a great spot - whether it’s full of super chill on a weekday night. Great vibe, cool ambiance; nice staff.

This has always been one of our favorite spots to visit recommended by friends. It's great for eating outdoors on a nice fresh day or indoors! The menu is very refreshing, and that cocktails are superb. Glad to see this restaurant still thriving in East Dallas.

The space is great… bars, super awesome outside patio with TV’s and games, etc. But this place was a ghost town. So weird- totally empty. Food was fine. Drinks could be better. Service was not great. Hate to see this cool space not do well, but they need to bring it up a notch!

I had a nice experience at Desert Racer. It's a great spot for a large group and a wide variety of drinks. The menu is limited and it was near empty, but their patio area I'm sure fills up when the weather is better

Great atmosphere, zero service. Drinks were okay but way overpriced and nothing to write home about. Not a place I’d recommend for brunch.

The nachos had very little chicken or other toppings and was mainly plain chips. The brisket quesadilla was the worst I have ever been served. Nothing but brisket and an over-abundance of cheese, drowning in fat. Extremely disappointing!
