Fat Rosie’s voted area’s
Best Mexican Restaurant
On a trip to Mexico after opening his
first couple of restaurants, chef and proprietor
Scott Harris met a wonderful old
Agave farmer with a dedicated pet donkey.
This man’s steadfast donkey had
worked alongside him in the Agave fields
for more than 20 years. While most would
disregard their work animal, the old farmer
treated Fat Rosie as part of the family.
They had a rare and inseparable bond
that had formed through the many years
of hard work, sweat, and tears. Harris admired
the love and care that this old man
had for his trusted donkey. He admired it
so much in fact, that one night after many
shots of tequila he promised the old farmer
he would one day open a tequila bar
and name it after the beloved donkey, Fat
Rosie.
Fat Rosie’s offers a modern take on
traditional Mexican fare. The restaurant
won Best New Restaurant in the Southwest
Choice Awards in 2016 and for the
last three years has taken home the title of
Best Mexican Restaurant.
