Best WLM Reviews

Thank you Betty for great service. I moved to Philadelphia 4 years ago from California and I finally found an authentic Mexican restaurant, in Brooklyn!!! The food was fantastic and so were the drinks. I can't wait to bring my friends from Cali here. We ordered shrimp tacos, chicken Enchiladas and flan. I recommend the passion fruit margarita.
I say this as a mom with a toddler at prime brunch. Chela was incredibly accommodating to our little one. The drinks were excellent including the Michelada (and I order one whenever I see one on the menu). The food was well executed with identifiably quality ingredients. If I lived closer I’d be a regular.
I followed some reviews here and avoided certain dishes, as a result, I was satisfied with my night with my friend! Services were great, could be pricy but the portion of the main dish was huge.
I highly recommend the ????✨Pollo En Mole Rojo which was braised chicken in chef’s sauce. The meat was soft, melt-in-mouth, and juicy. The sauce was rich, smoky!
The ????Arabic taco had pork meat on zaatar pita which was one that’s kinda unique in the taco section. The meat was slightly hard but tasted great. Slightly sweet with refreshing toppings.
My friend who is pescetarian had three tacos: shrimp, fish, and vegan. She was satisfied with them as well.
Last, the dessert, we had Tres Leches cake. Really a big slice! I couldn’t say it is the best one, but still outstanding. Their cake was on the solid side. The peach topping did add flavors to it.
Stopped by this place spontaneously for Saturday lunch with my husband and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food and drinks! The atmosphere was low key and the staff was pleasant. The prices were definitely on the expensive side but definitely worth it. Everything we tasted was delicious. Looking forward to returning!
Great vibes here for happy hour! $10 tacos and margaritas. The wait staff are super friendly and attentive. This spot has plenty of seating for happy hour, but is absolutely packed during dinner time. LOVE that they serve house fried warm tortilla chips with salsa as you peruse the menu. The fish tacos here were super crispy, but the pickled onions were a bit on the sour side, and the cream was a lot for the small amount of fish. In general, portions are definitely on the smaller side.
From the moment my family and I stepped into this hidden gem in Park Slope, we knew it will be an unforgettable dining experience. The menu has a selection of authentic dishes bursting with flavor, from mouthwatering tacos to sizzling enchiladas. Each bite is a the perfect mix of spices and textures that dance on your palate.
The drinks are expertly crafted, complementing the savory dishes. The service is impeccable, with staff members who are not only attentive but also passionate about sharing their love for Mexican cuisine. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Mexico in Brooklyn.
I was exiting about to try this restaurant for a long time but I never had the time. But today I was working around there and I took the chance i make the reservation.
I saw on their page that is authentic Mexican flavors that make it attractive, but is all the oposite I ordered Carne Asada , and it come with French Fries , the steak has not Mexican flavors at all you can find it at any American Restaurant with better flavor but has nothing to do with Carne Asada . The flan was good but I had betters flans . Prices are ver high for the quality of the food. Very disappointing if you really want to try authentic Mexican Flavors is other better restaurants out there. Not recommending for Mexican Restaurant.
I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and everything is just so delicious! The staff are always so welcoming and bring me all the chips and salsa …. Cause the salsa is to die for!!!! ???? The margaritas are so good I usually have one too many on a work night.
