    Gave the kids a sambro
    Allie H.

    The fish tacos were Amazing!!! The margaritas were great. Some of the other food was a little bland. Dinner also took over 2 hours. It took 45 minutes to order after getting our drinks. We would def go back but prepared for a long dinner if you have kids. Also loved the "man" in the bathroom.

    Enchiladas de Mole and a Spicy Margarita

    Cool spot near the airport! It was recommended by a co-worker, and even said Ivan, at the bar, gave great service. He wasn't there till almost at the end of the meal, but we did experience his bartending skills! Very nice guy! The margaritas were on point! I have never had Chamoy as a binder to hold the Tajin on the rim, but it's the only way I want it now! I ordered the Enchiladas de Mole, as Mole is my absolute favorite! This did not disappoint! Highly recommend! The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and really sets the vibe. I did find it a bit noisy for me, but the food and service made up for that in the end. Prepare to spend a little money here, it's definitely a bit pricey.

    We have a Fat Rosie's in our neighborhood and hadn't been there yet but went to this location after a comedy show at Zanie's next door, in the entertainment district in Rosemont. I made a reservation and I'm glad I did because it was packed! And even with the reservation we still had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. We were escorted to the 2nd floor (steep stairs!) and sat in front of the bar, which had a great view of the ice skating rink. We had drinks and the queso appetizer which was very good. They have a large menu with a lot of options, some a bit pricey but overall good. Their salsa that comes with chips is good too, and we were trying not to fill up on them. My daughter ordered the quesabirria tacos and I had the empenadas appetizer and one carne asada tostada. (Love that you can order a platter of their various tacos or à la cart.) I wasn't super hungry so one was perfect. Everything was delicious and service was great! We saw other items on the menu that we look forward to trying...probably at our Lincolnwood location. They have several, but for a chain it is good Mexican.

    It was very easy to make a reservation and not only were we seated on time when it was incredibly crowded, we were also served quickly. The food was hot and delicious. There was a band playing music and there are festive decorations. We were here for a conference and the server was willing separate our bills without any issues.

    On a multi-hour layover at ORD recently, we decided to pop out for lunch and ended up at this Fat Rosie's location which anchors one end of Parkway Bank Park in Rosemont. Fat Rosie's is your typical high energy, pseudo-Americanized Tex-Mex spot that is big, bright and loud from entry to exit. If you are familiar with Chuy's, it is kind of like that, but on a grander scale. Menu is large and features all the Tex Mex classics you are accustomed to. We started our meal off with queso, then launched into a salad, quesadilla and a side of rice. Queso was solid and the chips were perfection. The salad was loaded and tasty, side of rice was surprisingly seasoned, and the quesadilla, while large, was a bit underwhelming. Our server was super friendly and helpful. He checked in on us throughout the meal and kept things moving at a good pace. The food runners and hostess were friendly as well. The space is large featuring a large main floor dining area with bar plus a long covered patio, in addition to a large upstairs indoor/outdoor area. Given the space, you can imagine the amount of celebrations that take place here. During our visit on a Saturday afternoon, there were two birthday celebrations taking place in the main dining room. The space is super clean, well laid out and inviting. Overall, we enjoyed Fat Rosie's. I can understand why the brand is growing across the Chicago area!

    Both the vegetarian items we ordered were great. I would love to go to this restaurant to try chicken items with my friends. The waiter was so enthusiastic and friendly. He served chips and salsa constantly to our big group of people. The ambience was amazing and fun filled atmosphere. Ladies have to plan to use restroom for a surprise element that I am not going to reveal in this review

    It was walkable from hotels near the ORD airport. A vibrant. lively aesthetic. Service from hosts, servers to everyone walking by was great. One of few places that still gives complimentary chips + salsa. Didn't go wrong with the chicken + steak fajitas.

    I went here 2 weeks ago with my team for dinner and it was amazing! We had a lot of food, we had the Mexican Street Corn, Empanadas De Carne, Nachos, Side Guacamole. Individually I had the Guyaba Margarita and Tacos a la Carte: Chicken, Beef, Carne Asada. The staff were very kind and friendly. The ambiance was soo lively! I truly enjoyed everything here!

    A quick work trip and my coworkers and I ended up having dinner at Fat Rosie's. Love all the decorations and the ambiance of the place. They have a big open space with plenty of seating both inside and outside. Great place to watch sports as well at the bar area. Food was delicious, we got a few appetiser's chips/salsa/guacamole. And I got the steak fajitas which was a pretty big plate. Service was quick and good.

    Horrible food

    My wife ordered tacos and they were extremely Cold I ordered chicken and steak fajitas the chicken was not cooked and the steak wasn't cooked the way I asked the Cold tortillas. They didn't even get us more water the waiter didn't come back to check at all horrible food taste and the service was terrible.

    Food was delicious. They had lettuce wraps as an alternative to tortillas for tacos. Service was kind of slow but overall we had a good time.

    Fantastic Food! This restaurant has it all if Mexican cuisine is what you are craving. Excellent menu, delicious drinks, friendly staff and a fun and relaxing ambiance. Family and budget friendly restaurant. If you are in the area don't miss the opportunity to try this awesome restaurant. Enjoy and have a great time!

    Scheduled a lunch birthday celebration for my dad with 10 people. Booking with yesenia was easy. Contract for booking was emailed signed and sent back with no issues. Pricing was clear and you can pick what you prefer for your party. Thankfully, we had the place mostly to ourselves when we arrived. Usually, this place is packed. This day had winter snow storms so that helped. The service by Alberto and his team was great! From the chips and salsa down to the Tequila shots at the end! The food was great and tasty. We had the guacamole & chips, and empenadas as apps. Chicken fajita, carne asada, tortillas and salsa. The staff checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed. Great decor all around. They sang their happy birthday and brought out the sombrerros and Tequila airplane. Was great!

I don't remember it being this bad but... now I know, I guess. Food was not great. The pancakes were kind of--well, gummy is the word that springs to mind. Not pleasant to eat, at any rate. The omelet I ordered, the Southwestern Omelet I think, was ok. It was a bit thin, but maybe that's just because there were a lot of ingredients in it. The "Homemade" lemonade tasted like it was fountain lemonade. I left half of it, and the half that was consumed was mostly because my child wanted some. That was especially disappointing, because I don't order lemonade at restaurants unless it's not Minute Maid because that stuff is awful--and if Elly's truly has homemade lemonade, they should be embarrassed that it tastes identical to what Coke sells. I don't usually eat everything when I go out for breakfast and am happy to take half home for another breakfast, but I didn't want to take any of this home with me. I will say that they're fast--we were here less than an hour. I think it took fewer than 15 minutes from the time we were seated to when we got our meal, and we didn't order immediately upon being seated. We went on Saturday round 9:45 a.m. and it was half empty, though it was Easter weekend so I'm not sure if that had any impact.
