Best WLM Reviews

As the name states, it’s authentic. Great food and atmosphere! Portions are good so encourage sharing. We felt rushed by our server although she was friendly. Recommend the Shrimp Diablo and Beef Burrito both of which we had. A must try if you haven’t been.
Good food, great desserts.(4 stars). Ridiculously over priced but it is Lake Forest. Service (3 stars) was marginal because our server kept getting pulled away to deal with unhappy pick-up customers. Desserts and atmosphere make it worth the visit. Would have rated 3.5 over all if I could have. If you live or study locally it beats dealing with the insanity and traffic near Hawthorn mall.
Food was absolutely delish! Had the Marco Polo Asado
I'm a frozen margarita girl but didn't want to pay extra $1 to get it Frozen so had it in the rocks was good, not bad at all. Dessert was coconut flan, amazing!!
Great decor, average food .. we tried a very large sampler!
Took our son here to celebrate his graduation from Navy Great Lakes RTC. The food was good and the service; however, they need to place tint on their front windows, because every time a train went buy, I was blinded by the reflection from the son in its windows. They did offer a Veteran Discount, which was nice.
It was an OK experience and food was alright. I give this location a 4 as they brought me a cheese enchilada when I ordered one with crabmeat originally. My waitress noticed and got me the one I ordered but had to wait a bit. Also during the meal, I had to wait for my water glass to be refilled and even then I had to ask but I was already done with my meal. They do take reservations which was nice.
They don’t know how to treat guests. There is no point of reservation and if you do You still have to wait for 30 min or more. Manger doesn’t know how to handle situations or help guests. If you are vegetarian you are not going to find good main course. Food is ok ok as well. This place is too small for more than 4 people.
Overall, a good dining experience. The atmosphere was moderate, but not too loud for a busy Friday night. The salsas with the chips are a bit mild, but okay. The entrees are a fair size and the prices aren’t bad. Service was friendly and quick. Minor complaints, but overall... somewhere that I would definitely go back to!
