The new location will provide all of the delicious offerings that has made Fat Rosie’s a destination throughout the Chicago suburbs with their authentic antojitos (appetizers), platos (lunch and dinner plates), tacos, tamales, and their notorious el patron gordo burrito. New offerings available at the Naperville Fat Rosie’s location is their Ensenda Bar, proving that “en el mar, la vida es mas sabrosa” (“in the sea, life is tastier”).

We’re excited for Fat Rosie’s to be in a bigger location, so we can have even more fun.”
The new Naperville Fat Rosie’s location opens its doors on December 15, but will have its official Grand Opening Fiesta on January 12, 2023, beginning at 4 pm with a celebratory ribbon cutting, food and drink specials, entertainment, giveaways and more.

More About Fat Rosie’s
It’s a tequila bar, it’s a taqueria, it’s a family-friendly place to enjoy Scott Harris’ modern take on Mexican street food, but most of all, it’s an homage to an old agave farmer’s faithful donkey.
Chef Scott Harris went to Mexico looking for inspiration to create a new Mexican restaurant he was planning to open in Naperville, IL. He found it on a rural agave farm in the form of a donkey named Fat Rosie that had been working the farm fields for more than 20 years. The agave farmer treated Fat Rosie as part of his family – after all, they had worked in the fields together for a very long time. Scott admired the relationship so much he decided that Fat Rosie’s should be the name of his new taco and tequila bar. To learn more visit fatrosies.com.
