Tucked in the back of a supermarket is a great taco spot . Through various recommendations I came across this place. The taqueria has a good amount of seating & great service ! I got a to go order & was out fairly quick. Tried out tacos de asada , al Pastor , and lengua which come with grilled onion/jalapeños . I give this place a solid 9/10 ! The tacos all have a heafty portion of meat & on Milagro tortillas! Give them a try when you're near by! read more

Stopped in while in the area for some ketchup, but just as you walk through the door there is an abundance of pastries. We couldn't pass those up! The store is nice. Fully stocked. Has two places around the other side of the store for ordering fresh food. Had we not already just eaten we certainly would have there. The employees were very nice and helpful. The pastries were delicious! read more

Stopped by 1-4-24 to try there tacos de lengua everyone we know say there amazing. We checked to see what time they close and it says 8pm. We live 30 minutes away so we got there at 7pm and we walked into the grocery store and found the taco stand and it had a strap in the entrance and I asked the waitress if they where closed and she said yes but with a very nasty attitude and I asked I thought you guys closed at 8pm she was like yes but we have to clean that way we leave on time. So we just walked out and left it's not the only place they sell tacos. read more

Great small-scale spot in the back of La Rosita. My dad used to bring us here as kids for cheap, authentic, delicious tacos. So I am keeping up tradition and brought my daughter and gf. Got 1- Carnitas taco and 1- Carnitas (Both American style). Both were delicious. Great amount of meat on both. Carnitas was very juicy and tender with good flavor. Like how chopped the steak is. I feel like it makes a huge difference so you get very few, if not any chewy pieces.!! Good call. My daughter got the chicken taco with beans, cilantro, and limes. Tried a bite and was surprised how juicy and good the flavor was. Next time I'll get one of those. Rice didn't have much flavor. Beans were decent, light in color read more

Best Mexican food in the area. Lengua tacos are legendary. Don't waste your time with other places (El Famous for sure). The taco stand rocks!! read more

I came here hoping to find some fresh fish, no luck but I probably just didn't see it. Anyways, this review's sole purpose is just to vent how annoyed I am about being charged $2 more for some corned beef that was on sale. I know it's partly my fault for not checking my receipt right away especially after seeing Clerk 067 struggling with scanning it, but normally aren't you supposed to ask the customers too just to confirm the price and not select the highest price of corned beef? I didn't even wanna pay more than $4 for Prego, what makes you think I wanna pay over $6 bucks for corned when I could've gotten a better brand. I could be wrong on this and the product was just priced/placed wrong coz I've noticed that on some other products too. Not sure if i'll be back here again, but if I do it's probably to go to the bakery or try the Taqueria and I'll definitely have to check my receipt at the store! Lol read more

You know you're tacos are going to be good when a Mexican grocery store has a taqueria inside! Best place to go to in Glendale Heights and surrounding areas. This is a quick, pick up and go spot when you're in the mood for tacos! They have variety of tacos: Al Pastor, Asada, Chorizo, Chicharrón (green/red salsa), Tripa (upon request, not on their actual menu), Barbacoa & Cecina (weekends only), Chile Relleno. I think I may have left out a few. I was in and out in about 5-10 mins. They work fast! They have the option to sit down and eat your food. Perhaps that's an option if you're grocery shopping. They have more than tacos. They also do large orders on rice and beans. My wife and I have done that. I'm sure they can do large orders on other things. The best tacos I have found have usually been from a Mexican grocery store! There's a big movement out there for gourmet tacos and to escalate Mexican food. However, if you're looking for the real deal without breaking the bank, this is the place to go! Portions on the tacos are generous and they double up on tortillas. You'll not be disappointed. Check it out and judge for yourself. read more

I stopped by to shop for produce. I saw the taco place inside which was unique. I approved the counter to order at 928 am. The manager yelled at me saying not open till 930 ! Quite embarrassing! I nodded okay and apologized. This is why Mexican restaurants struggle. Terrible service. No concept of Customer service. He is a leader ? Sad. Terrible. Failing fast read more

Taqueria stinks. Store needs a remodel, dirty floors. higher than average prices, beggars greet you before entering store. Do not accept manufacturer coupons/rebates and employees are not friendly. Yuck! read more

If there is a better value taqueria in the area, I have yet to find it. This gem is tucked in toward the back of the store (after you make the first turn past the produce). The food here is authentic and delicious. They generously fill each taco, which means that two or three will satisfy your hunger for a long while. They serve cebollitas and grilled pickled jalapenos to complement your order. I really can't think of any flaws with the execution here. Very impressive. Two other things - they do offer chicharrones in the sheet format here, though they don't seem to be a great value as compared to places like Carnitas Uruapan in Pilsen. Also, they have an excellent Mexican bakery at the front of the store, with an exceptional selection of treats. Grab a tray and a set of tongs, and go crazy. You'll pay at the register in the bakery department - and not much either! read more

La Rosita - Tacos (two chicken and one al pastor). They do not skimp on the fillings. - Mexican Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

They have a restaurant in back with the best tasting tacos ever! The food is made in the most in-house authentic Mexican way. You can tell that all sauces, meats and veggies are freshly made that day & the cook does not hesitate to make them with plenty so you don't feel lacking in any ingredients. I don't go anywhere else for tacos anymore. Don't miss a chance to stop in for a bite. You won't regret it! read more

On August 2, 2022 I went to La Rosita - Glendale Heights to purchase Skirt Steak. I Told the butcher that I did NOT want him to trim the meat just to weigh & wrap it. The butcher cut up the length of skirt steak, ran it thru some sort of meat grinder. I discovered this today, when I went to put the skirt steak into a marinade. Let's put it this way, I NOW need to go spend another $40 on skirt steak. The meat that I have is un-usable for the menu I had planned. I called the store to complain, the person answering the phone needed to find someone who could speak ENGLISH! The girl claimed that no MANAGEMENT was in the store! A manager is supposed to call me back! If memory serves me correct most butcher counters are unionized, which means a member of MANAGEMENT Must be in the store during hours of operation! read more

Love this place. Bakery is so nice. There's a Michoacána ice cream shop and a taco/burrito place inside also, both are great. I am so lucky to be near La Rosita and I appreciate all the hard workers. Thank you. read more

Here's my taco review- this is my favorite taco place in the Glendale heights/Glen Ellyn/Bloomingdale area. Very authentic. My family loves the carne asada, al,pastor, and the lengua. I think the tacos are a bit pricey (abOut $3 each) but they are usually crammed with a ton of meat. Usually the tacos also come with some somplimentary roasted jalapeños and onions except when they don't :( We get takeout from here regularly and have had them stiff us on the roasted jalapeños a few times so be sure to ask. Here's my grocery store review- the store is clean and welcoming. It helps that you walk right by the bakery when you enter. The smell of fresh pastries and desserts envelopes you as you enter. There is a good variety of Mexican specialty produce too. The tomatillos and jalapeños are much cheaper and fresher looking than at Jewel but things like iceberg lettuce can be pricey. I'm not fluent in Spanish but have always found the service helpful and friendly (except the time I didn't get roasted jalapeños w my taco order). read more

This grocery store always has gud prices & the Taqueria is really gud. Now has a La Michoacana location inside! read more

Cant give more stars since I only shopped, I did not try out their restaurant. I was there to purchase meat that is, seasoned (adobada) and ready to cook and eat. I ordered from the butcher. They have a nice selection of meats and deli food. I was hungry so I also purchased the carnitas from the deli ( to eat at home) and I bought a salsa verde that was in the refrigerated section and I must say, it was delicious! They have a big bakery section, a nice selection of hispanic products, the aisles are big and very well organized. Their produced looked good from a distance. I didn't really look since I was there for the butcher shop only. Im new to the area and this is the first latin supermarket I venture to. I was pleased. Next time I will eat there so I can provide more stars (if deserved) and I can review the taqueria part. read more

I have been very disappointed with their bakery! I ordered a cake for my granddaughters baptism and when I went to pick it up they hadn't even started to make it. I vowed I would not go back but my daughter wanted a tres leches cake and theirs is the best. However, the design I ordered is nothing like what I ordered. Taste was great though. read more

If you find yourself grocery shopping at La Rosita, you must pay a visit to their taqueria. The tacos are so full you can make 2 out of 1. Tried the asada, al pastor, and chicharron. All were good. Next time I'll have to try the lengua and barbacoa. read more

Ordered for the first time from La Rosita for a party I was having. The food was amazing! We had the chicken and carnitas tacos. Everyone at the party loved the food. Very generous with the condiments. We'll be back! read more

Been coming for years. Authentic Mexican food. Reminds me of Jalisco Guadalajara. So rich in flavor. The best carnitas ever.

bad service....I ordered tacos by phone with specific directions, then we about to eat and opening the our bag.... and no condiments only two spicy sauces ..... I called the store and they offered to replace with 2 tacos.... they said on the store they no going to replace nothing but one taco or water or drink.... so they can keep their taco . I'm not coming back to the store... thanks for bad service read more

This review is for the little restaurant inside the grocery store . I think it's unanimous that it's just a little overpriced. ,,, but so worth it !! Al Pastor on the Spit ( La Trumpa) is Fabulous. Marinating like a gyro with pineapple , onions , it takes me back to Cabo San Lucas . These workers do a great job making great tasting Mexican food that has Flavor . I'm impressed, although they aren't perfect. Food could be hotter and Quick with an up charge for cheese or sour cream on a taco ? Really ? But I will be back because it's the best I've found in the western burbs . read more

Stopped in here once as I was exactly between Valli Produce and Villa Park Fruit Market and didn't want to drive to either since I was right at the intersection. Just had a few things to get and the selection was pitiful. The pre-packaged mushrooms were all brown and the (mushy) ginger was sold in plastic-wrapped packages. Awful quality, will never stop in here again. read more

Burrito contains meat, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, avocado slice... and cilantro on request. Tacos have typical onion & cilantro. Steak was tasty, and worth getting again ! But chicken had a very overpowering marinated onion taste.. could not even finish it. Current specials: steak burrito for $4.99 (reg $5.69), chix taco for $1.99 (reg $2.29) read more

I am a fan of Mexican markets for picking up quality meats and fixings for tacos/fajitas/margaritas. This market is a bit special because it has a 'full service' taqueria inside. The meat market/veggie market is very very good. The butchers are solid and the produce selection is top notch. The taqueria is fine but it's prices are higher than what I see at most similar places and the tacos are not as tasty. I've run the gamut on types and just haven't found anything great. I'll give a torta a try next time but for now, I'll just go here for meats and produce and not tacos. read more

I have been to this taco place many times over the years and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we have noticed that recently the quality seems to have gone down. Today we had a steak burrito and two tacos and couldn't have been more disappointed. The meat was cold and flavorless and the rice water lacked flavor as well. Just really disappointing this time around. read more

This is a one-stop shop for AUTHENTIC MEXICAN groceries in the western suburbs. There is a taqueria, panaderia and neveria within the store that you can access for a la carte services. The grocery store has a carniceria offering cuts of meat that cater to Latino cooking. Carnitas were deelish! You can find a large variety of Mexican candy, Goya, La Preferida, Jumex, etc., products. They even sell beer and top shelf alcohol. read more

This is not a five-star restaurant...but it is a five-star taco stand. This review is solely for the stand in the back of the restaurant and not the grocery store itself. There are about six places for tacos within a couple miles of me. This is hands-down the best lunch spot of them all. It's counter service in the back of a hispanic grocery store...there are some lunch tables in the space, but I usually get them to go. Service is very fast and primarily spanish, but definitely gringo friendly. I see some comment that the price is higher than others, but I'd say I typically order 3 tacos at, say, Javi's, while 2 is enough here. This is definitely a 1-$ place, not a 2-$$. I recommend branching out and trying some of the filling types that you're not going to find at Chipotle...the tongue is especially good, but it's a hard-sell on people who haven't tried it. These are not taco-bell tacos...you get them with onion and cilantro, hot pepers, on soft corn tortillas. read more
