Fat Rosie’s Taco & Tequila Bar Menu – Lincolnwood, IL

Type : Restaurant

Location : Lincolnwood, IL

On a trip to Mexico after opening his first couple of restaurants, Chef/Proprietor, Scott Harris met a wonderful old Agave farmer with a dedicated pet donkey. This man’s steadfast donkey had worked alongside him in the Agave fields for over 20 years! While most people would disregard their work animal, the old man farmer treated Fat Rosie as part of the family. They had a rare and inseparable bond that had formed through the many years of hard work, sweat, and tears. Scott admired the love and care that this old man had for his trusted donkey. He admired it so much in fact, that one night after many shots of tequila he promised the old farmer he would one day open a tequila bar and name it after the beloved donkey, Fat Rosie.

Based on 198 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.9 stars. Price

What a fun and friendly new restaurant! From the moment we walked in we felt like a part of the family. Don’t pass this place up if you enjoy Mexican food. The service was excellent, the food tasty, and the atmosphere was engaging without being overwhelming. We’ll be coming again. Our server Victor was the best. Thank you for such a fun Sunday brunch. It’s a place of joy.

Ok I was 100% torn coming here as i’m not a big fan of “chain type” restaurants but I wanted to give it a shot as they only have a few locations.
