Best WLM Reviews

Went here back in June because some friends recommended it as a place to get some authentic Mexican food. The best part? Our waitress was really nice. She was pretty attentive to our table. I also loved how big the drinks were, filled right to the brim. The worst part? Unfortunately, I don’t know where to start. The moment we walked in, it immediately turned us off on how dirty the restaurant was. Tables didn’t seem super clean either. Our table was a booth and the benches were literally falling apart. We were told to sit there and we had to sit down in a way where the bench piece didn’t come falling off. I sat by the window and there was a ton of ants coming and going. I was paranoid the whole time that they’d get on me cause there were so many. We decided to stay and order anyways, maybe the food would surprise it. Well, it did but not in a good way. My dish had seafood and meat and it had everything but seasoning. I kid you not, it was so bland that the more I ate, the more I wished we had gone somewhere else. The other dishes ordered were okay but also missing seasoning, but at least not as bad as mine. We were told by others who had been there too that seasoning is a nonexistent thing in many dishes. We all decided we would never go back. But hey, maybe you’ll have a different experience. It’s possible.
Food was horrible and be careful when paying. They over charge you and won’t give you your money back, even though we presented proof of it. Please don’t waste your money here. Seriously it’s a horrible place
BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!!!! They overcharge you 30% of taxes and when we asked for the itemized receipt they blame the cash register for being “old”. They refuse to give your money back. The food sucks too!! Food is over priced
This Restaurant is the best for authentic Mexican food. The waitress and all staff are kind and attentive. I’m a happy customer so far so good.
This was my first time here somebody recommended this restaurant the food was very good very good clean Place friendly people I will go back again
This restaurant right here is a perfect example of what authentic Mexican food should be???? great costumer service and plenty of parking ????️. Highly recommended.
I always passed by this place and would tell myself “I should try this place out”. Should’ve never came here. Food was bad and the charge for what they gave me was CRAZY. Never coming back
food was so bad, could taste the old oil in every bite. overpriced asl too, don’t spend ur money here trust
