Best WLM Reviews

Taco Tuesday $1.50
Good tacos but nothing amazing. The meat quality is decent, great prices, flavorful.
Asada has a nice Smokey taste to it with some avocado sauce
Pastor - pretty good, it’s a ground beef texture with avocado green sauce
Small location there’s a few tables in there and everything was clean. I’d come back again if I’m in the area
I had fish tacos and a tamarind drink. It was good. The fish was crispy, and the veggies were fresh. My friend is Mexican, so she definitely knows if Mexican food is good haha. She liked her food too.
Came here for the $1.50 tacos on Taco Tuesday
I ordered one of each type of taco on the menu. There were about 7 different types of tacos. While I waited for my tacos, I loaded up on the salsa and other veggies at the self-service salsa bar. When my order was ready, I didn't shady kind I was eating since nothing was labeled, and they put the green sauce on all the tacos.
The tacos are not in small tortillas, which was great.
If you pay in cash, you get 4% off; there's a posted sign. Otherwise, you can pay by credit card.
The place was a bit on the warm side when I visited. There was a line of customers after I ordered.
Small, free parking lot.
Brooooo! Im just gonna put it like this. Ive have tortas in Rosarito, ive had tortas in Tijuana, tortas in San Luis Potosi. These are the best mofo tortas west side of the mississippi!!! 15$ for the torta and the large horchata. On the real when i got my order i thought they gave me two tortas!! Its huge!! Red salsa is fire you have been warned!! Had me crying i aint gon lie on ja. Better torta than Cancuj Juice, better torta than Gallo Giro, bettet than Jugos Acapulco and better yhan Tortas Sinalo! Coming back fosho. YT: The Nava Tribe
Food is great
Service is good, the place could definitely use some ventilation, we walked out smelling like fried food.. apart from that everything was great
This little place doesn’t look like a fancy corporate with a bunch of franchises but what it has is a delicious punch of flavor! Seriously yummm! The tacos are big and stuffed. The employees are very happy to see you come in. Plenty of seating and they offer a fully stocked self serve fresh salsa bar with two types of salsa, a green one and a red one (I love the green one), sliced cucumbers, sliced lemons, and a mixture of chopped cilantro and onions.
Love the Birria tacos, the Taco Governador (shrimp taco covered with chipotle sauce and cheese), and the carne asada taco with avocado sauce.. Yummm.. The prices and the quality and the quantity go hand in hand. Plus, they also have great deals on Taco Tuesday. Thank you, Chris and Ivanna for the great service and consistency in all my visits.
This taco shop is great! They have a special on Taco Tuesdays, $1.50 tacos, they are street taco size, but the meats are great, and selection is good.
I ordered a carnita, cecina, saudero, and crispy birria. The birria was a little more money but more meat, for sure.
The menu es grande, so I will be back to try others.
Update: I've been back several times since the review and brought my wife once and a coworker another. Both times, the food was great and no complaints.
I was craving a quesadilla and this place did not disappoint! I got the one with the handmade corn tortilla without meat. The cheese was griddled and then added into the tortilla so it had a nice crispy crunch with pico de Gallo, sour cream, onions and cilantro inside. I've never had a quesadilla like this before and I would definitely come back! Service was quick and friendly. No bathroom that I saw on site. Salsa bar with red and green salsas, chopped onions and minimal cilantro as well as some pickled cucumbers. Card and cash accepted.
