Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Delicious horchata And the tortas are to die for. The avocados are always perfectly ripened and their meat is cooked perfectly. It's always moist. The environment is like anything you'd expect. But great. Still a little bummed you can only pay with cash but it doesn't stop me from eating there really.

Food is great. I always drove pass this place to go to El Paraiso. I wondered why there were more people at this place. So I decide to try there food last week and the food is good. Not to mention the young lady whom can speak and understand English. I described a taco to her that I saw on Facebook and without hesitation she was able to tell me what it was. The Chile "something" taco. Which is delicious... Their Lengua tacos are good also.

Three star only because the tacos de al pastor are the best around. A high priced at $2.85 per taco. The place it self looks a bit beat up. Friendly staff and fast service.

Very good chicharron tacos (very spicy).Their steak is also good .One of the best places in elgin.They recently started taking credit cards.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants to go to when I'm back in town. I just dislike the fact that it's cash only

Stop No. 2 on my Elgin Taqueria Tour took me to La Rosa. When I went, there were a number of families and workers grabbing lunch, so I had high hopes for good grub. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great. I got my typical order of two al pastor tacos. On the plus side, the tacos were really big and packed with meat...two were more than enough for me. And don't get me wrong, the tacos were definitely tasty. However the flavor of the marinade was pretty bland (but they had an excellent green hot sauce that compensated). Also, the onions were cooked which took away some of their bite that I love so much. But the real problem was the tacos were too greasy (not good greasy, just greasy greasy). I may go back and give La Rosa a second chance, because I felt a lot of potential there. But with so many other choices in the area, if it's not great the next time I don't think I'll give them a third.

I ordered a chicken burrito which was very tasty. This was not what I originally wanted tho. I wanted tacos BUT $2.85 a taco is insane... the tacos by my house are $1 and tortillas are hand made. So for it being a small ugly joint the prices were very pricey. Tasty food tho

Keep driving..... The tacos are big but have no flavor and the carne asada looks like they boil it and serve it. Highly disappointed. Not very clean inside

I've been going here since approximately 2007, the prime of my partying nights! And believe me, I know how it feels to be hungry, alcohol maxed and all you want is a damn good taco. You don't want to go any place else but here!!! Steak & lengua tacos? OH!!! To die for!!! After a few years I finally came back, this time with my husband, good friend and my 6 month old Guatepino baby. :)) This is definitely where I would send him to hang out with his friends! At least I know he'll be fed well while having fun!!! :D Don't let the appearance fool you... Who cares?

Great fast service, authentic delicious food, low to reasonable prices. A slight dive atmosphere but the latter reasons make it a must go to.

the best al pastor tacos ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
(5)Milton B.
The best tacos in the area all day. the tacos de asada(steak) are where its at and the carnitas tacos(tender pork) on the weekend's are delicious.

I love the food, hands down best tacos in elgin. Way better than Pariaso and comales. The only downsides is that it's cash only. They do have an atm, but why spend the money on the atm charge when that can go to the waitresses. Other complaint is the restaurant is cold in the winter. They need to turn up the heat and get one of those little rooms you put in front of the door to help with keeping it warm.

La Rosa is a cash only establishment. That said, La Rosa's food is delicious, especially the steak tacos. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is open 24-hours. Bring cash and go hungry.
(5)Mark B.
Great taco's. Taco's are filled with your choice of meat. Raw onions and cilantro top it off.

Tacos al carbon in Elgin. How hard can it be to find something so simple? It took a tip from the guys at White Pearl on McLean, my local pho place, to find this small, family run place, located in a former snack shop across from a trailer park. The slabs of meat roasting on the grill tell the whole story. It's the closest thing to Zacatacos or El Asadero I can find in Elgin. Cash only!
(4)Scott B.
Simply the best steak tacos on the planet. Get them Mexican style (cilantro and onion only), put on some of their unbelievably good hot sauce, and you're on your way. Definitely worth the drive.
