Best WLM Reviews
Super fun atmosphere. Right away we were greeted with an option for fresh salsa and guacamole. Both were some of the best I’ve ever had.
We all got drinks that we all liked and came right away.
When it came to the food, it probably took 45min plus for it to arrive, so I suggest getting an appetizer if you’re hungry. Once the food arrived, it was tasty.!
Manny our server was fantastic! The atmosphere was great. Friendly staff and great food! We will be back next year for when our college team comes to Arizona!
I don't think this restaurant should be rated as highly as it is. Part of me believes it is this way because at the end of your meal they ask you to scan the QR code which leads you to leave a review for the restaurant. However, seeing 17,000 reviews with a 4.7 star rating got me to go to the restaurant thinking this would be the world's greatest Mexican restaurant I've ever had, so I don't blame them for doing this. It works and I'm proof of that!
The food wasn't bad or anything and I would give it a 3/5 but it is no where near a 5/5 in my opinion like majority of people in these reviews are saying. There's even people saying they've traveled across the world and this is the best Mexican they've had. My taste buds must be dead, because when I had my meal (steak chimichanga) it was decent but lacked in flavor quite a lot. In fact the only true flavor I got was from the rice, which was the best part of the meal. There was red Chile on my chimichanga and I didn't even taste it.
So please take these 17,000 reviews with a grain of salt and realize you'll probably get an average Mexican restaurant meal, but in no way do I believe this will be the life altering experience other people claim it to be.
First time here & WOW! love this place, I'm new to Tucson & this is probably the best food I've had since living in LA & they're known for their food. Alonzo helped us & was so gracious, I'm not sure of her name but she literally made our salsa & guacamole dippings in my face, very nice touch. I ended up getting their beer battered tacos, AMAZING????????????????but I will be coming here more often.
Food was delicious and Monica's service was fantastic! Had the Pancho Villa plate with double beans. Really fun atmosphere and chill vibe. From my table I had a view of the mountains. Really felt valued.
2. Update, had to come over more time before going home. Had the Reyna platter. HUUUGE amount of tasty food. Excellent service from Monica and Martha. Seriously excellent.
This is unlike any Mexican restaurant that I've been to. First of all, I've never had salsa made at the table. (I've had guacamole made at the table, but not salsa.) Super cool! My only critique is that I should have ordered hot or extra hot, since medium was essentially mild. I had the molcajete with grilled chicken. Excellent! I've never had the dsh before. It's like fajitas but soup based. Meat on a bed of peppers, onions, and other ingredients, then boiling soup poured on top of it. Amazingly good! (It's like what hot pot is to Korean BBQ.) And to top this off, service was outstanding! Thank you Meilany!
The positive points: the chips with the table side salsa and guacamole were really nice and helped for a while with the wait for the food, and the server with the salsa cart was very responsive when we asked for water and more chips. We thought for a while that she was our actual waitress. When we got our drinks and food, there were a few errors, but the food itself was all very good (Plato Bandera, fish tacos, kids quesadilla combo, two California burritos, and a Chile relleno combo). The decorations are nice, and there's an outdoor seating area that looked nice.
The negatives: it was oddly warm, which wasn't a huge issue. It was not very full at all, but the service was some of the worst I've ever had anywhere. We had to try to flag the waitress down (once we figured out who our actual waitress even was) and prompt her for basic things (Could we order? Could we have our empty water glasses refilled? Will the food be coming soon? Could we get the bill?). A couple things she didn't write down then would forget and have to come back and ask what they were again. We were laughing because we'd originally come here after leaving two other restaurants down the street that told us it would be an hour and half wait, and we were too impatient and hungry to wait, but we would have gotten our food around the same time if we'd stayed at the first restaurant. By the time we did get the food, a couple plates weren't hot to the touch anymore, and there were a few errors with the food itself. The kids meal we ordered with a quesadilla and rice and beans had fries instead of rice and beans. The California burritos (meat, fries, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream in a tortilla) didn't have pico de gallo, guacamole, or sour cream. Literally half the ingredients of the burritos were missing. Those mistakes were quickly and easily resolved though.
We left our leftovers because we didn't want to stay any longer for boxes (saying a lot for cheap fat people who usually never waste food). We were there for a birthday, but we didn't even attempt to see if there was a special ritual or a dessert menu because we'd been there so long already, which kind of sucked for a birthday dinner.
Guadalajara Kolb Rd. Staff was friendly and explained the menu and veganized options. Table side salsa and guacamole was very good. Prices were a little high, but worth it. Impossible tacos were really good.
