Best WLM Reviews

I was very surprised by how many food options this places offers with how small of a physical restaurant this is! It's like the Sam's No 3 of Mexican food. Oysters seem to be a favorite since it's heavily featured throughout the entire menu. I had the Coctsl Ballena and is was quite delicious with very generous portions! There is a kids men available and they are also on Grubhub!
I had a great first impression of the establishment with the exception of ordering dark rum and receiving Brandy from the waitress instead. At least she was honest about it and for that I still give five stars.
The food was good. Salsa was very fresh and obviously homemade. I ordered adobada and wish I tried the pastor. Next time. Cool hand made tables and historical and photos of Pancho Villa!!
I don’t speak Spanish but 7 leguas must translate to “ hurry up and order”. If you want a pre Covid dine in experince you’ll have better luck at a ghetto chipotle than here. 10 mins after being directed and coached into sitting at the bar rather than a table…I was repeatedly asked “ Are you ready to order “ As if I was a bother to the staff. “so what drinks can I get for ya” as if I had anytime to contemplate the food menu let alone the drinks they offered. That alone killed the restaurant experience in itself but wait there’s more. It’s so hot in there I’m literally dripping sweat behind my ears. But I won’t stop there, I was promised a booth seat or at the least at table upon entering the “ Establishment” they directed me toward the bar and assured me they would move us to the table - spoiler alert NEVER HAPPENED. Moral of the story DO NOT COME HERE! Go to Mezcal on colfax and Tamarc instead they have wayyy more space and better everything.
I wouldn’t recommend this place if you have a girl you really like and want to impress.actually I wouldn’t recommend this place at all anymore. The food is not nearly worth it based off the experince I just had .
Hey there! Girl from Texas here!!! One thing about us we LOVE some good Mexican food and I can truly say this was so amazing this is the second day I am back!!! The green cabbage salsa is EVERYTHING! I have never had anything like it and it’s amazing! The drinks are also phenomenal! I’m not sure if it’s being a mile high but I am in a good place lol! I also had the Al Pastor Tacos and they were sooo good! The flavor of everything was just amazing. The atmosphere was also great on a Saturday afternoon! I had an amazing lunch!
Yummy food and drinks! I ordered the organic margarita and combo 7 and everything was great. Would definitely recommend!
This little gem is a must come too and enjoy! The owner is awesome all the staff is courteous and extremely helpful. You won’t find people standing around on their phones here! These ladies hustle and keep moving throughout the night. The food shut the front door! Delicious and fresh. The margaritas do not taste like a bunch of mix and a splash of tequila! Excellent and and authentic. We will definitely be back!
The food was so salty and plain. I ordered the green enchiladas with their “Special” green salsa… it was horrible! I complained and even if they offered me not to pay for the food I told them I was not there to affect the business so I paid… the prices are also inconsistent with the quality of the food. Saying that the average ticket is between 10-20 bucks per person is not true. I just ordered the enchiladas which was one of their cheapest items in the menu and that was almost 17 dollars… the enchiladas plate doesn’t include Sour Cream which should be included according to the original Mexican recipe; if you want to add it, then be ready to spend 4usd extra for that… I’m definitely not toning back there nor recommending any of my friends going there…. Horrible experience…
Today was my third time at this location, only been once to the other location, while the other location may have a more modern decor it is smaller and Ive enjoyed this location much more so far.
The customer service is much better here, this is a no frills , Nothing fancy, not meant to be fancy as new current restaurants tend to aim for; this a rustic authentic down to earth location with majority of dishes being truly authentic.
So the first time I came I ordered a the "no he venido" which translates to " Ive never been here". That dish consists of steak, shrimp and lobster with a baked potatoe which was a perfect dish, visually and cooked perfectly.
This 3rd visit I ordered another combo with a name that usually comes in a molcajete, even though they have a molcajete by that name ordered the dish trying to keep the price down.
While prices may seem higher than usual, the food is truly unique, well prepared and plated properly. The service and food has been consistant. I've read some reviews saying it's either expensive or "bland; while our taste buds are different this food seems to aim to enhance the flavors of the main ingredients not overpower or cover the lack of their flavor by showering with sauces, cheeses, sour cream etc. Their menu is quite large and price ranges vary so there's option for everyone's budget, while a good huge portions are for splurging and I would expect to pay these prices.
Today I ordered a dish which had chicken, fish and steak. Also had some avocado, some grilled onions, bell peppers salad with rice. The rice was fluffy maybe could use flavor but even as it was it's better than majority of restaurants out there.
I ordered a clamato preparado (non alcoholic) to my surprise was one of the best tasting, they seem to use natural ingredients and would make sense being they sell so much seafood. It was delicious I tried to enjoy sipping it savoring it until very end.
The meats have always been cooked perfectly, the meats have grill marks most likely flamed or flame grilled. This is a semi rustic restaurant with very attention to detail from the cooks and staff. I have been to many restaurants and one thing that is often lacking is plating; while I mainly focus on flavor it's difficult to ignore the plating which permits for those perfect like photos.
Think that those that mention it looks divey don't quite grasp the theme or atmosphere of this restaurant, the name and their logo is a good indicator I would say, siete leguas is one of a legendary heroic like horse that belonged to one Mexico's biggest Robinhood like heroes.
I would highly recommend this restaurant, don't get discouraged by dim down lighting, you can see some pictures where venue is well lit, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as cozy and intimate if lights were blasted to full brightness.
While the dish tasted perfect as it was, being so accustomed to hot sauce I requested some "salsa taquera " halfway through meal which came in handy to make a steak taco towards the end of my meal.
The steak did get a tad cold since I left until end, and I'm a fairly fast eater but then again it was huge portion so it's to be expected.
If you like your meals to remain sizzling hot and you're a slow eater you should order food either In a fajita skillet, molcajete or parillada. All these do come in large portions parrilladas the alrgest being usually to share in a group.
