    Delicious I had such a good time here. The food and the atmosphere does remind me of being on vacation in Mexico. It was a Thursday evening and they had the patio open it was full and they had a steady flow of people inside as well. The service was a good and timely I didn't have any issue and the salsa is so delicious it's so fresh oh my goodness I'm so happy that we got complimentary chips and salsa

    The moment you step inside, you're immersed in a lively atmosphere filled with vibrant colors. Since we had reservations, we were seated right away with no hassle. The menu offered an impressive variety of food and drink options, giving us plenty to choose from. We were served complimentary chips and salsa shortly after sitting down. Service was prompt and attentive our drinks arrived quickly, and while the food took a reasonable amount of time, it was clearly worth the wait. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

    We attended the pre opening event at the new fat rosie's , taco and tequila bar in O ak Brook. This vibrant restaurant, with its festive décor and lively atmosphere is perfect for any occasion from a casual drink with friends to a family outing business meeting or date night. The\nCaesar salad , featuring half a romaine lettuce had offers a delicious lighter option. For a hearty meal, the shrimp tacos are generously loaded with 3 large shrimp.Proper taco served with rice and beans. Generous portions ensure a complete satisfying meal.Without needing additional la carte dishes.

    Fat Rosie's home made chips and smoky chunky salsa are incredibly addictive. Don't miss the shrimp , ceviche campachano, beautifully complimented by mango and plantain chips. The\nSizing steak , fajitas , a feast for the eyes and mouth come with all the fixings and are large enough to share. Be sure to explore there doesn't different fresh ingredient , margaritas!

    This place definitely has the potential to be great. The location is convenient, the décor is fun, and parking is easy. We've visited twice since it opened, once for a weekday lunch and another during peak dinner hours, and both times the service felt slower than necessary. Foodwise, I enjoyed our lunch visit much more than dinner. The fajitas plate, regional tacos, and flautas were flavorful and enjoyable. During our dinner visit, we tried the fajita salad and shared a street taco plate, and both dishes were pretty bland and underwhelming. The kids' meals (chicken nuggets and fries) also felt pricey for what they were. While there are some bright spots, and I hope the consistency and service improve, because it's one of those places you want to love, but it misses the mark for me. 'Til next time.

    This was the cutest place! They have a huge open patio out front and even and enclosed one in the back with a bar. Their salsa was so great not spicy over powering so you could appreciate the ingredients. Lots of stuff for beans here too. They use fruit and some like extras in their sauces which made everything so one of a kind. The chicken flautos were my faaaave and this new pineapple desert we got to try ooommmg I coulda ate a whole pie of it. Everyone there was smiling and friendly making sure we enjoyed out experience, top notch service.

    Very nice and inviting restaurant. The colors and decor makes everything feel so authentic. I had happy hour (3-6pm) and regular priced eating. This location has a great happy nenu. A beautiful bar area with full drinking options. We ordered margaritas (strawberry, mango, pepino and Jamaica), salmon problano (grilled nicely and delicious not spicy at all), Mexican corn (delicious), quesadillas on corn shell (a great happy special). The food was delicious including the chips and sala. The server was very kind and attentive to be newer. He helped us celebrate my aunt's birthday properly. The decor in this place was nice. The bathrooms had my favorite artist Frieda Khalo on the walls. Made my heart smile. I will definitely return.

    Fiesta Hours Review! This was my first time to the Oak Brook location and was thoroughly impressed by the interior design. The inside transports you with layers of fun colors, textures, and patterns throughout. They create pockets of "instagramable" moments for guests to use as a photo op. I visited with a party of five and took advantage of their great "fiesta hours" deals. I liked that there were three margarita flavors to choose from. I enjoyed the House Marg the most, then Strawberry Jalapeño, then Mango as it was just slightly too sweet for me. For food, we got a handful of appetizers to share and enjoy independently. The group's favorites were the Queso Fundido, Chorizo Fiesta Nachos, and Tuna Stack. I got the Cheese Quesadilla for myself and it could have used more cheese. Overall, the happy hour deals and the variety of the offerings were great. Our server did a great job checking in on us and being patient as we ordered food in waves. This was a great spot to catch up and enjoy some good food & drinks.

    Just like the other Fat Rosie's location I have been to, this one also had several birthday celebrations on the Saturday night. It is always fun when the whole place joins in to celebrate in singing and cheering for the celebrants. This visit was not planned, so we did not have reservations. We just got lucky that a couple was just leaving when I walked past the bar area. The service was great. The bartenders were efficient and friendly. We had the QUESABIRRIA and the COCHINITA PIBIL. Both dishes were delicious. The sauce that came with the COCHINITA PIBIL dish is VERY HOT. You've been warned! The drinks are good, the place is clean, and there is a huge parking lot in the strip mall. I will come back here again. I enjoy the vibe, the food, and the drinks of Fat Rosie's. 'Til next time!

    I was really excited to try Fat Rosie's! Even without a reservation on a Saturday evening, they were able to seat me quickly, which I appreciated. At first, I was given a table in the back room, but it was freezing, so I asked to move to the bar area instead -- much better! The atmosphere overall was lively, energetic, and fun. Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't live up to the great vibe. I ordered a Mojito, which was overly sour, even after adding blueberry and strawberry. I also had the chicken fajitas, but they were far too salty and lacked flavor. While I loved the atmosphere and service, the food just wasn't for me, so I don't think I'll be returning.

    Complementary chips and salsa

    I love this dish, and this was my first time ordering it for takeout. Unfortunately, this is exactly why I'm sometimes hesitant to order takeout. The portion size of the Pollo Al Chipotle was about half of what you get when dining in. I was really disappointed. It came with only two pieces of chicken breast and what was essentially one scoop of mashed potatoes--just enough to eat with the chicken. Ironically, they gave me a generous amount of the fried onion strings, even though you usually don't get that many when dining in. That said, the food itself was delicious. They also have some of the best thin, crispy chips, and the salsa that comes with them is always fresh and flavorful. The service is always good, and the ambiance is really nice as well. I would have gladly given this place 5 stars if the takeout portion had been comparable to the dine-in portion.

Our waiter was a joke. He stood behind the bar area 95% of the time that he was supposed to be waiting tables, doing absolutely nothing. It took him 15 minutes to take our drink order and another 15 minutes to bring SOME of them. He forgot others and never brought them. After a 45-minute wait a passing food deliverer could tell that our group was ready to leave, and kindly took our order and filled our missing drink orders. We received our food in a reasonable time afterwards, but the waiter's follow-up simply did not happen. Just a joke. As for the food...five people agreed that it was bland and missing elements of the dish. Missing sides, missing dressing, etc. If you own and/or manage this restaurant, it's time to catch up on what your staff is doing. Or rather, what they are not doing. We won't be back and we'll pass this feedback along.
