Best WLM Reviews

For some reason, this place does not taste very authentic. Some of their seasonings are a little bit bland. We got the strawberry and mango kids smoothie and they tasted kind of artificial? I don’t really know how to describe it. We came on a not so busy day and the server was kind of slow. She had a positive attitude though! I do think their serving portions are fully reasonable for the pricing but the food itself was mediocre. I got the mushroom spinach/chicken quesadilla it was a decent 6.5/10. And my cousin ordered the fajita tacos and the taco shells tasted kind of like store-bought prepackaged shells. Despite this, I would say the decorations in here are very interesting and fun! Overall good vibes.
Super tasty TexMex style Mexican food in a relaxed, fun family-friendly environment. Chips and salsa arrive when you sit down and honestly the salsa is truly addictive! Spicy but not hot, just the right amount of flavors from the tomatoes and onions and cilantro. I had a grilled vegetable burrito packed with peppers, mushrooms, and onions. The refined beans are perhaps the best I’ve tasted, and the fresh jalapeños on top brought it all together. My dad had a breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs and potatoes and covered with cheese and refried beans. We both loved the food and the wait staff was friendly and easy going. I’d recommend any of their mothers Virginia locations for a great TexMex style Mexican dinner! Plenty of options for vegans (me), vegetarians, and meat eaters.
I am giving one star because they give two slices of extremely plain French toast for $11.20. The portions are not big. The taste is just meh, kinda like sweet bread. But they charge $11.20 for this? Every other place around, the French toast is better and either cheaper or gives more, or is fancier with fruit and cream or whatever. Or it comes with eggs.
Also, they forgot the potato in the chorizo breakfast burrito. You can see the potatoes in the ham breakfast burrito, but not in the chorizo one.
Had never actually eaten in the restaurant before today; had always done carry-out. It was a nice experience! Chill, relaxed, very family-friendly, and satisfying food. Exactly what we needed for an impromptu family lunch.
The music was so loud (at 3 pm in the afternoon with a near-empty dining room) and obnoxious that I had to ask twice for it to be turned down before something was done. Then it came back on loud as ever just a few minutes later. My lunch companions and I could not hear each other in conversation very well and some of them wear hearing aids. I won't be back. The veggie tacos were bland and boring, but the rice and beans were good. It was my first and last visit there.
My family and I are huge fans of Mexican food! We decided tonight to try Anita's. We thought the reviews were not over the top but also not bad. Let's see what it is about. It was bad! I wish no star was an option. We arrived around 8. The place was not crowded for Saturday evening, which was not promising. Parking was available, so that s always good. We got in, and the atmosphere was from the early 90s. The place definitely needs some updates. It was very cold, which some might like. We were directly served some chips and salsa. The cheapest salsa from the supermarket is probably better. The salsa was not fresh at all. We ordered guacamole for a starter, a margarita for a drink, and for the mains: steak fajitas, beef burrito, green chili pork burrito, and Carne Asada. Guacamole tasted like it was made out of a powder. It did not taste like guacamole at all. It tasted bad, to say the least. The meat used in the fajitas was the cheapest meat you could taste. It did not have any flavor. The burritos were "Taco Bell" quality. Chipotle is a luxury compared to this. The refried beans were so watery. The cherry on top was the margarita. What kind of Mexican restaurant doesn't know how to make a margarita. The cup looked good, but the drink we couldn't swallow. It was extremely sweet, and the dosage was off. It was not worth it. Definitely not going back!!!
Anita’s offers outdoor dining, indoor dining, and pickup services. They gave us chips with salsa to start with. We ordered (3 tacos) with shredded beef from Express menu. Also, we got Empanada platter with beef came with rice and beans and a Red chili cup. The Tres amigos was a big hit that has a combo of chicken, beef, veggies, and taco served with rice and beans. Our waiter was such a nice and patient person. He explained the meals and answered our questions nicely. My family and I enjoyed the dinner and we will visit it again.
We ordered carry out (fish tacos and nachos) and they said the order would be ready in 10 minutes. It was so surprising so we rushed over and it was true, the order was ready! Well... I should have known better.... the food was awful. The tacos were so bland and sopping wet. The nachos were 3 wet discs, also flavorless (more like open faced tacos). I wish we had taken photos but after eating a bit we were disappointed and dismayed, and threw away the rest. Who runs such a bad kitchen? I can't believe we paid money for this.
