Best WLM Reviews

Absolutely delicious and authentic home made food. The owners have worked in the resurant industry for years and came here from Mexico City. Family run, great service and fantastic food. A customer told me best tacos in town, while he ordered 5. He was shocked to learn they have only been there a year and said "Why am I just now finding this place, it is great!"
All of the food I've tried is excellent, but I especially enjoy the Al Pastor tacos and El Jefe burritos.
Time for another Random taco shop. This one replaced another shop at this location and can easily be overlooked as another very popular taco shop really close. This spot is definitely worth it.
The food:
Their Gorditas are next level addiction quality and the Pambazo is something you just don't get at other taco shops. The menu offere what you expect from a taco shop but also food you usually see at a Mexican restaurant.
The food is quality home style mexican/Hispanic cooking. This doesn't feel like high volume taco shop. This feels like you came home and mom made you dinner.
Price: average pricing and average portion size, the value is the quality.
The Vibe: one of the closest to TJ/Mexico style location this side of the border. Lots of decoration, lots of culture amd backstory, I felt very comfortable there.
Staff: not so much of staff as family of the owners I would guess. The 2 kids working hard at the shop and taking pride in their business is not something you see I. Corporate America these days.
Location:
easily missed as it's tucked away in a small business strip with a very narrow parking area. Easy enough to get in but a little complicated to get out of.
Wrap up: I will be back on the regular, I would bring a date here, I would bring family here. This is a small business I think was great and worthy of praise.
Small little unassuming taco shop. Limited menu but incredible quality food. It's better to be the king of a few things than the court jester of many. Super friendly staff, I felt like family.
Honestly, I'm so disappointed in this restaurant. 1st experience was bad, I was overcharged, and the cashier had a very bad attitude. 2nd experience was even worse. Different cashier, also had a horrible attitude. I always smile and have manners with everyone I come in contact with, even when I'm being treated wrong, I still maintain my posting attitude because it's who I am. All I know is that misery loves company, and these cashiers have 0 customer service skills. If the prices on the menu don't match what we are being charged, there is an issue that obviously needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Yummmm sooo goood! Al Pastor tacos all day. Friendly considerate service. Parking lot available. Great El Niño drinks (Jamaica, Horchata, Tamarindo). Def recommended.
This tacos are so good and the workers are so nice and the place is so clean and I love it and everything here is good.
Better than SILVAS rude service, The food is really good here, first time I was there people are really nice and the burritos are good size, I think it is better than Silva's
