How can i use plain SQL Queries in Laravel (5.*)? Or Shoul i learn ORMs?

I am developing a kind of application using laravel and i want to use SQL Queries (They make things easier for me like in NodeJS while some prefer using ORMs).

How can i do this in laravel? Or should i use ORMs like Eloquent?
