Best WLM Reviews

The service was great but the food was just ok. The salsa was meh and the beef they gave me was raw (I guess you have to specify well done). The dish was good but I absolutely couldn’t stomach eating pink meat so I only ate half and threw the rest away.
Worst experience ever, came from out of town with my family and after church we wanted to find something to eat close by, this was one of the first options as we had a few kids with us and apart of 12-14 ppl we decided to try out this restaurant. Some of us were excited as we had never tried pupusas before, long story food starts to arrive 1 plate at a time about 10 minutes apart by this time we’re all in need of refills and the waitress never asked even after she seen empty cups. Once we’re all done and ready to pay we go to the register because we were told that’s where we can split our tab. That’s where we were approached by the lady with blond hair who said she was the manager (ugliest attitude) she started being rude from the start we asked why she needed to be rude if splitting a tab was really that hard? She then said “well y’all look desperate to leave” it was more like we sat in a 90 degree weather in there just fans blowing hot air so yes we’re ready to go but we never shower signs of it on the contrary I believe we kept our cools after the whole experience. I don’t recommend eating here at all unless you want to walk out sweaty, find hair and flies dropping from the roof.
Half of our food was BURNT to the point we could barely cut into some meat and the knife rolled off. The other half was salty but still edible. Some of the food we tried to order was not available. Not the food they used to have before that was homey and worth the price.
I felt assaulted, the bill was $41 for a popusa, a yucca and two margaritas. I didn't ask for any special dish. Honestly, it doesn't hurt to pay for a good meal, the service was great, the popusa was normal, nothing fantastic, the yucca was edible, it had some super-fried, almost burnt pieces of meat, it wasn't chicharron. The margaritas were good but I think they charged me for the entire bottle of the bad tequila they used. In my life I will return. When the bill arrived, I sarcastically told the waitress that if the tip was included, in the end I paid $50, after all, it was not her fault.
Pupusas were tasty but beans were salty, tamale and plantains were lukewarm. Overall, it was ok but I won't be going back anytime soon.
Worst place ever i called for a licuado de platano and when i went to pick it up they said there was no more bananas
When you first walk in the restaurant seems like any ordinary restaurant. The bathroom ( sink area; since I only went in to wash my hands was clean ) this is the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars and not 1 .
The servers are not friendly at all. The service is slow even when the restaurant was practically empty. The food is horrendous! We ordered popusas . They were practically raw in the inside ( and I have had popusas elsewhere before) there was barely any filling inside and it did not taste fresh . Their $7.99 Margaritas are a joke. They are the smallest glass I have ever seen . Honestly there are much better places to go eat at . This was my first and last time ever here
The food is always great ,not the friendliest staff but the food is definitely worth it , the only reason I gave the atmosphere a low rating is bc the music was way to loud to have a conversation
