It was a little confusing initially because there's a walk up register to order, so I thought I'd order up there when I was ready, but when I sat down to wait for a friend, I got waited on. So I guess both things are true. You get free chips and salsa at the table, which is always great, and I want to give a shoutout to having additional salsas in squeezable bottles at the table you can add to your liking to your food. Yum!

And no hygiene ! We were ready to leave after we ate a food my nephews couldn't eat , and we asked if they would give us something else, and will pay the difference or extra $$ for it just please exchange it for us! they said whatever you buy you must eat it, and the worker or the manager by the register rudly said we need to clean the table because it's not their job to clean after us! Now. My question here as a customer? Isn't your restaurant sir?? To keep it up to standard after ur customers leaves? Or you want us to sweep the floor and do the dishes too ??? Never going back not worth the hype...

Came here late night after flying in. We arrived at 10pm to chicago and this was the only spot…read moreopen. Food quality is great! I got the al pastor taco plate which is an all day deal for $9.99. Al pastor had lots of flavor and even came w diced pineapple. Lots of sauces available at the sauce bar, Jalapeño Salsa is the best one!! The only thing is that the normal price is kinda steep for a normal taco spot, sitting around $4-5 per taco...I do feel that the taco is worth maybe $3 each especially because they aren't fully loaded tacos. Service was great, the guy at the front was super helpful and patient, he even made sure we got our good pretty swiftly. Ambiance is fine, it's an order then eat type of situation. Lots of seating available inside and lots of parking available as well in the complex. Store is located in an easy spot to see from the street as well.

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

My wife and I are pretty stuffed right now! I had the quesabirria tacos and she had a spicy shrimp dish with avocado and tortillas. Oh, and we had the nachos with a flight of 5 delicious salsas, as an appetizer. In the end, Orale felt different. It had a city vibe to it. We dug it and will be back for more. Near Hanover Park and in the mood for some Mexican cuisine? Check out Orale!

I gotta say, we've been in Schaumburg but haven't yet tried all the restaurants in the area (god…read moreknows we've been working on it!). So, one fine day I was picking up some dry cleaning down Roselle, and as I turned onto Schaumburg Rd to head home, I saw this place- remembered I was hungry- and promptly turned in! I got there just before 5pm, and was - by all accounts - their first customer of the night! I asked to sit on the patio, and (because I had to ask) checked to see if the patio was dog-friendly - it is! Hmm. Gotta bring puppy next time! The young lady sat me down, brought over a drinks menu and a food menu, and I promptly ordered a Cadillac Cocktail! Oh my! It was BIG- and GOOD. Damn! Highly recommended! A bowl of warm chips and salsa came right on it - on the house- and I began munching away while I pondered the menu. So - I decided on the Enchiladas Suizas with verde sauce! Oh - and with a choice of meat (I chose ground beef, but pollo was also on the board too!). As I was slowly drinking the Cadillac and munching on the chips, I gotta say I liked the THICK chips and the salsa had a nice little kick to it. If that's what you like? You'll LIKE it! My enchiladas suizas came out piping hot a short time later, and I began munchin' 'em down! VERY nice! If you like friendly, prompt service AND good food and drink? HIGHLY recommend you stop on it!

I had the al pastor tacos, which had just the right touch of pineapple and were absolutely amazing. The rice and beans were excellent too. They also have a beautiful patio that would be a perfect place to enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the music. It was incredibly loud--constant booming house music that made it difficult to have a conversation. We politely asked if the volume could be turned down, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy, but were told it was for all the customers and they wouldn't adjust it. It's a shame because the food is so good, but the atmosphere made it hard to enjoy. I can't help but wonder if the loud music has driven away other customers as well. If they toned down the music, this would easily be one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.

I've been to a couple of Fat Rosie's locations before, so I had a good idea of what to expect. It…read morewas a busy weekend, and you could definitely tell the staff was stretched thin. Our waitress was very nice and did her best. I requested pico on the side so I could give it to my cousin, but one of my dishes still came with tomatoes, which I'm allergic to. By the time our waitress made it back to our table, my food was no longer hot, and we were ready to leave, so I didn't mention it. On the positive side, the drinks were good, there's plenty of parking, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Overall, it's a decent Mexican spot, but it seems like they could use a little more help during busy times.

We came to Fat Rosie's for a team dinner and unfortunately the experience was pretty underwhelming…read more The atmosphere itself is fun and our group still managed to have a good time, but the service could definitely use some improvement. Service was slow/inconsistent throughout the evening, and the biggest issue for me was finding a bug in my drink. Obviously things can happen, especially in a busy restaurant, but when you're paying for drinks and dinner, that's definitely not something you expect. Some of the others in our group didn't seem too bothered by the overall service, but personally I left disappointed. I'm not writing this to bash the restaurant because I actually think Fat Rosie's has a lot of potential--the atmosphere is lively and it's a great concept for groups. I just hope management takes feedback like this seriously and focuses a little more on service and quality control. I'd be willing to give them another try, but this particular visit was definitely a miss for me.
