Taqueria Los Laureles (Inside Store) — one of Rolling Meadows's strongest mexican spots. The recipes feel handed down, not invented. The welcome here is real. "Meat is fresh and seasoned perfectly, only place around that’s doing it like this" — Marshall H.

“But not so much that it overwhelmed, but enough to act really good depth of flavor not to mention all of the meat was fresh tender, stunningly flavorful with a great texture and excellent moisture”
Lady at the register can come off rude.
We were going to eat here, but we couldn't get past the bad odor of rotten meat or cleaning product to clean rotten meat, whichever.
Purchased a steak burrito & steak rib eye taco via delivery only 10 mins from the restaurant and it was before 11am food was terrible.

“Huge tacos in the back of a bodega.”
Huge tacos in the back of a bodega. Staff were welcoming and friendly. As far as taste goes, exactly what you’d bee looking to find at a taqueria in the back of a bodega. Will be a regular when I’m in town.

“This is hands-down, some of the best freshest tacos I’ve had like ever.”
This is hands-down, some of the best freshest tacos I’ve had like ever! What’s stood out at the most however was their chicken tacos, they came with a sautéed peppers, onion, and tomato. But not so much that it overwhelmed, but enough to act really good depth of flavor not to mention all of the meat was fresh tender, stunningly flavorful with a great texture and excellent moisture. The grocery store also has a nice selection and all of the staff are so pleasant and helpful. Can’t wait to come back on the weekend and try their tamales. I can only imagine how delicious they’ve got to be!!!

“Really great tacos and tortas.”
Really great tacos and tortas! I highly recommend the chicken milanesa torta, which is a great combination of savory and fresh taste and crunchy and soft textures. I also really enjoy the lomo tacos, and the chicharron tacos are another unique and great offering. Los Laureles also serves pozole on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the winter, and I highly recommend stopping by for a bowl on a cold day.

“Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense.”
Its a great place if you are looking for great tacos that is no nonsense. Place is inside the little Mexican grocery store and has three tables, doesn't look the prettiest but it is a great place. Reminds me of great taco joints in Cd. Juarez. Prices were great too. Food was made fresh because when I got my tacos and they were so hot I couldn't hold them long. Chicken tacos were excellent. Easily coming back here.

“High quality meat you can definitely tell when eating that they use quality ingredients.”
High quality meat you can definitely tell when eating that they use quality ingredients. This is a hidden gem, highly recommend stopping here and trying the flour tortillas as well. Had the chicken and steak tacos flavored very well. You can even pick up seasoned meat to take home and cook yourself.
