La Charanga Mexican Restaurant,halal 4003 West Algonquin Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008

"This restaurant was excellent and exceeded my expectations. When it comes to tacos, I can be quite critical, and I can confidently say that these tacos passed the test. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere was peaceful. Unlike some places that use ground beef, this restaurant uses actual cubed steak in their 'steak' tacos. This is a significant point for me because when I order a steak taco, I expect real steak! The meat had a delightful, slight char on the edges, and they were served traditionally with cilantro and onions, which I appreciate. They didn't overload me with unnecessary lettuce, tomato, cheese, and so on. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu."

"Solid Mexican cuisine. Complimentary chips were fresh/warm and salsa was pretty good. We ordered two different tacos and one fajita entree. Both chicken tacos were awesome. Chicken in fajitas was slightly dry hence one less star. We went for lunch so not many people in the restaurant. Zabihah halal certificate clearly visible."

"This place was amazing! The service was good! The environment was good! The food was also, good. What more can you ask for!? I got the taco bowl with steak and it was good. Hubby got the tacos and loved them all. Also all halal . Definitely and highly recommend this place!"

"Excellent family owned authentic Mexican restaurant! Pros: - Delicious authentic Mexican (all halal), at excellent prices. No pork products or alcohol is served. Try the Birra steak stew tacos, amazing. Chicken and ground beef are also very good. Top off with Mexican Coke. - Clean restaurant (hygienic environment) and very friendly staff - Outside seating available (although there’s a liquor store next door, so not the best ambiance for a family outside) Can Improve: - Have more waiters? We went on a Tuesday evening so that may have been why short staffed - Offer knives as standard with utensils - Offer free chips and salsa? Similar to Senor Jalapeno, one of the main halal Mexican competitors - Have more churros available as they seem to be popular, they ran out of vanilla when we were there Other than that, great little spot in the corner of a mall to check out!"

"A restaurant I would absolutely visit again! The staff were very friendly, gave us good recommendations as first timers, and the food was authentic, delicious, and halal. The presentation and plating of the food we ordered was beautifully done. I highly recommend the tacos, as they were full of flavor! The guacamole served as a nice appetizer, and the churros were the perfect dessert as well. I would rate this place an 11/10!"
