What people say
Fat Rosie's Taco and Tequila Bar is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a fun, hip, and festive Mexican dining experience in Naperville. The restaurant offers a modern take on traditional Mexican fare with small plates and shareable "street foods" that are sure to satisfy your taste buds. But what really sets Fat Rosie's apart is their endless selection of tequila drinks, including an array of mouthwatering handmade margaritas and sangrias.
The story behind the restaurant's name is heartwarming and adds to the overall charm of the place. Chef/Proprietor Scott Harris was inspired by a dedicated pet donkey he met on a trip to Mexico. The old farmer treated his donkey, Fat Rosie, like part of the family, which left a lasting impression on Harris. After many shots of tequila one night, Harris promised the old farmer he would one day open a tequila bar and name it after the beloved donkey.
Located in downtown Naperville on E Chicago Ave., Fat Rosie's is not only a great spot for adults but also family-friendly. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, making it perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or planning to spend an evening out with friends or family, Fat Rosie's Taco and Tequila Bar has got you covered.
Overall, Fat Rosie's Taco and Tequila Bar is an excellent addition to the Francesca's Family of Restaurants. With its delicious food, endless tequila options, and welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder why this restaurant has become such a popular spot in Naperville.
