Fat Rosie's Taco & Tequila Bar 870 North Meacham Road, Schaumburg, IL 60173

"First time here...crazy busy ..called ahead was told 30 minutes went inside at the 25min mark n notified them I was there ...it was well into a hour before we got our table...table for 5 .. Pros...food was good n hot Salsa was dark n flavorful, chips were fresh, queso was very good. Steak in the meals very well seasoned and chicken was cubed n not shredded fyi but good tasting ..service was pleasant and fast . Cons...super loud barely can talk within your table ..rice was very dry..beans were boring... We will be back but definitely not at 630pm, earlier will be my perfence, to enjoy the food with less ruckus."

"We had a gift certificate from Christmas & went on a Friday night (in February) around 6 pm. Place was packed but we got a table in the bar right away. It’s fun decor, very festive and a popular place for a younger crowd. They jam a lot of tables close together and it’s pretty noisy in the bar. The covered patio looked quieter. I know they have a large outdoor seating area in the summer. Service was good. Margaritas & salsa were Meh - chips were super salty. My husband and I both got fajitas- he got the combo platter & I got steak. Super tender meat and plenty of it - good size portions but kind of bland flavor wise. Lots of people were getting shots that arrived on a flaming plane. They seem to be about the schtick - there’s a male mannequin in the women’s bathroom facing a fake urinal & every time the door opens he speaks “Uno momento por favor” and something else I can’t remember. I’m sure it’s a hoot for the bachelorette parties and 20-something after work crowds but this 50+ chick will probably choose another place nearby the next time we’re craving Mexican."

"My favorite part about this place is the atmosphere. it has all sorts of colors that gleam around the restaurant. I also think that there are choices of drinks are absolutely amazing."

"You’re making the best choice ever if you come here. The portions are huge, and you get a great value for your money here. The food tastes amazing, rich flavors but not overpowering. The margaritas are amazing, they are half of the draw to come here. Mr. Cruz and his staff take great care of you, the staff are so friendly and make a great effort to get you your food and drink so fast. Sit near the bar, you may get nice customer perks if you treat your wait staff really nicely."
