Our Story

Nacho Average Donkey

On a trip to Mexico, our Chicago-born founder met an agave farmer working the fields with his donkey. Chef was captivated after learning that this hard-working animal had been by the man's side for over 20 years. The donkey was not only part of his livelihood, but of his family too. The chat soon led to a cantina. And after a few, Chef told the man he would someday open a restaurant dedicated to, and named ater, his four-legged friend. It would be stubborn on authenticity and feature a kick-ass approach to ModMex™  food and fiesta. Welcome to Fat Rosie's.
