  We show that there can be TeV scale scalar and fermionic leptoquarks with
very weak Yukawa couplings in a generic standard--like superstring model.
Leptoquark--(down--like) quark mixing though present, is not large enough to
violate the unitarity bounds on the CKM matrix. The constraints on leptoquark
masses and couplings from FCNCs are easily satisfied whereas those from baryon
number violation may cause problems. The leptoquarks of the model are compared
to the ones in $E_6$ Calabi--Yau and flipped $SU(5) \times U(1)$ models.
