Mas Mex, the parent company of Fat Rosie’s and Texas-based Escalante’s Fine Tex Mex and Tequila, announced the grand opening at 5433 Park Place, Rosemont. Located in the bustling entertainment district, this prime spot is conveniently close to major attractions, hotels, and O’Hare Airport.
Fat Rosie’s Rosemont will provide guests with the colorful and lively dining environment, craft cocktails, and authentic Mexican fare that are hallmarks of the other Fat Rosie’s locations. Fat Rosie’s currently has locations throughout the Chicagoland area in Naperville, Schaumburg, Frankfort, Lincolnshire, and Lincolnwood. The concept is rapidly growing, with Mas Mex opening a new Fat Rosie’s location annually over the past several years, and another location planned for 2025.
The brand new location, which includes an expansive patio and private event space, will transport guests to Mexico with its traditional and unique décor, bringing in elements directly from Mexico like alebrijes – hand-painted, brightly colored Mexican folk art of animals, an authentic thatched roof palapa, and custom art throughout the restaurant.
Helmed by executive chef Dudley Nieto, Fat Rosie’s Rosemont will feature a menu full of authentic Mexican fare, including:
● Antojitos (appetizers)
● Platos (lunch and dinner plates)
● Tacos and tamales
● The notorious El Patron Gordo burrito
“The Mas Mex team has been eager for Fat Rosie’s to join the dynamic restaurant and entertainment community in Rosemont. We couldn’t have asked for a more ideal location: the proximity to the convention center, airport and hotels makes this the perfect location for us. We’re excited to support the village of Rosemont and look forward to continuing to grow the Fat Rosie’s brand throughout Illinois.” says Mas Mex CEO John Lannucci in a statement.
“When customers dine at Fat Rosie’s, they aren’t just getting an authentic and delicious meal, they’re enjoying a fun and festive experience,” said chef Nieto. “We take pride in every aspect of the Fat Rosie’s experience and look forward to serving Rosemont!”
The new Fat Rosie’s Rosemont will officially open its doors on Wednesday, October 30 but will host a public soft opening for local customers on Monday, October 28. Guests can sign up to join using a QR code. The first 100 guests to dine at Fat Rosie’s during the grand opening on October 30 will receive a special gift.
