Best WLM Reviews

Wonderful food that never disappoints.And Anaheet is the best server in the world, we come every weekend just because of her ❤️
The hot salsa is really enchilada sauce, see the brown sauce in pics. The best thing we had was the $7 lime margaritas. The wife liked the chicken Torta. Overall a 3/5, at least you don't have to drive here.
A smidge better than Taco Bell. I think the salsa was tomato sauce blended with habanero. Thank goodness we were starving or I would have left after the first bite. Ordered a mezcal margarita and it was obviously a pre made mix that was so tarts that I ordered an additional shot to make it palatable. The server was super nice and gave good service!!!
Its was a very nice place. I ordered a steak fajita with a Sangria drink. At first there seemed to be a delay in getting the order in as a second server eventually came to inquire whether anyone had taken my order. Then when it arrived It was a chicken fajita instead. The waiter gladly took the plate back and corrected the order. I am sure the chicken fajita would have been very tasty as well, it just wasn't what I ordered.
I did order desert, a tres leches dish with rasberry drizzle and whipped cream on top. It was delicious.
I wouldn't say the food is excellent, but its pretty decent for the price. The service is always friendly and speedy. The atmosphere is not great, it is always noisy because it shares space with a large open area that people traverse and talk. The coconut margarita tasted a bit like mayonnaise which was a nasty surprise.
we were here on a slow Monday but I still expect better than “Mixed greens”being iceberg lettuce, and literally unseasoned unsalted “cilantro lime” chicken, and the most disappointing guacamole that tasted bizarrely premade and thick. Got a margarita so overwhelmingly sweet we had to put another shot in it to make it palatable. Service was quick and staff was nice and service was decent but the food sucks.
I tried the "new" Willy and Jose's at the Ameristar Casino. The menu was very basic but that is probably due to the "rona." The service was great, Kyle was quick to pour up a Citron and soda, get my order. I had the Al Pastor Tacos and a side of rice. I found the tacos missing the cilantro and diced onions, but not bad. The rice was tasty but very oily(?). Overall, not bad for a casino experience. The a la carte pricing was pretty decent.
Chips and queso were disappointing. The chips had a weird taste to them and the queso was bland. Service wasn’t bad but there’s definitely better food at the other places around.
