Went on a Tuesday night after work and a pitcher of margaritas was like $12. Came with salsa and it was good. I got the shrimp tacos and my girlfriend got the al pastor enchiladas. Both was pretty delicious. We enjoyed our meals and will definitely go back again.

No meat!!!!

I get that today is Cinco De Mayo but there is no reason to charge your customers full price if you don't plan on giving then what they pay for. Our tacos where completely without meat. Truly unacceptable and a rip off.

Brought the whole family out for dinner. Service was terrible. And food was terrible. How can you go wrong with fajitas.

Food was good. Chips and salsa were excellent. Beef and steak tacos were very good too. Definitely recommend.

Food was decent, nothing to write home about! But I'd go back. They have lunch specials. Bartender was just ok. Margarita was just ok.

A strong four stars. This bookmark proved to be worth the drive on a Sunday afternoon where we…read moreenjoyed $5 any flavor margaritas during their Sunday through Thursday Happy Hour! I enjoyed the spicy watermelon margarita while my dining companion went with a traditional one. We tried four tacos. I'll list them in order of preference: Red Skull - No notes. This is a well thought out combo. Get this for sure. Surf Ninja - A little light on the shrimp, but delicious. Whippersnapper - Nice flavor combo, but ask for extra passion fruit slaw or pineapple to step up the pow a bit! Island Boy - Too spicy, but kinda in a nice way. It was yummy but also a little too much on the tongue. Chips were hot and fresh. Complimentary salsa was chunky and maybe not worth the space in my tummy. Service was top notch. Parking was easy. We are going back to keep working through the menu.

I'm not from the area, and I was in a Mexican feeling. I spontaneously picked this place to satisfy…read moremy palette. I arrived at 8:30, and the place was empty. It looked like they were closing for the day even though they are open until 10pm. The chips and salsa were nothing too extraordinary, for the chips were flakey, flimsy, but firm. My food took about 25 minutes to be brought out, but the quality was the same as a fast food restaurant. They also serve limes as 1/8, rather than 1/4

Quick bite here at fat Rosie's Taco & TequilaBar located in Frankfort. Man! This place was goooood!…read moreImmediately, I noticed the restaurant had the cutest decor (Spanish culture) that were filled with regulars. People were coming in and out and door dashing was dashing! Seriously, crazy traffic but quick and steady and very efficient! Pablo was our server and she was amazing!. Very attentive and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed my little one and I. We were seated immediately with no wait time. Our orders were in for the count and it took no time coming out! I ordered the MARY TIERRA FOR TWO which consisted of the Grilled seasoned salmon, garlic shrimp & skirt steak. Served with Mexican rice, charro beans & guac! Literally everything was tasty and filling! Kid had the typical kiddo meal; chicken tenders & fries! Which by the way was pretty decent size for the kiddo! She loved her tenders also. Everything was fresh and made perfectly well! Think this mY be our new favorite spot for a quick meal and convenience for the travel! Check em out!

We've been to Fat Rosie's Tequila Bar before and usually really enjoy it, so I was surprised that…read morethis visit started off a little off. My husband ordered a tea, but what they brought out definitely wasn't tea. Even the staff seemed unsure of what it actually was they knew it didn't taste right, and my husband immediately knew it wasn't what he ordered. After that, our tacos were wonderful as always, the atmosphere was great, and our server was extremely attentive and quick to respond to our concerns honestly a great server. The disappointing part came with a couple food items. I ordered the Mexican street corn appetizer and it tasted like the corn wasn't fresh and wasn't served very warm. It looked like it just had a dollop of chipotle mayo and a little cheese on top, but the corn itself felt like it had been sitting for a day or two. Our beans were also served barely at room temperature, and when the replacement beans were brought out, they were so hot it felt like they were just microwaved quickly. It just gave the impression that the kitchen maybe wasn't fully prepared for the day yet since we were one of the first customers. I really hope this was just an off visit, because we've had great experiences here before.
