Best WLM Reviews

HORRIBLE, GREASY & BURNT, I tried the salmon, Grnd beef, turkey & turkey &potato, 2hour wait 5-8 dollars for ONE taco Annnd the shells are box, Don't believe the lies on TikTok And instagram....ok so to follow up I went back about three days later , and I actually met the owner, She was amazing she didn't ask any questions all she did was re-made my order & Everything was fabulous
I got the blueberry jerk chicken burrito…before I had the raspberry which I think was better…good thing is you don’t have to wait the whole day to get your food like before lol…only thing is they use whole spinach leafs now (before I believe it was dark green, shredded lettuce ) and next to the hot meat it was wilted and slightly slimy….so I pulled those pieces out…but still good tho .
I've been going to this place for 17 years the food is ALWAYS consistent fresh, flavorful, and never disappoints. Fresh food is never fast. Every time I go they know my order. I've had every Taco on the menu and everything is good. Love y'all.
I didn’t get to eat here bc it was a two hour wait. Also the tacos were about $5 - $6 each. I hope the tacos were worth the wait. There was a large variety of flavors. There was free parking.
Hot turkey tacos are really good, but the time waited 1 hour and 36 minutes was wild. I thought they were in there pulling animals apart because it took so long. As my parties waited we did not see many pick up orders about 6, then we seen people walk up and I'm guessing they hear how long the wait will be so about 4 people left. Another thing is open from 3pm to 8pm 5 hours open and long waits.
This place is rated the best taco place in LA but it's also the most expensive place but it is that good just don't get the hotsauce it is fire. It will burn you stomach get it to the side. But everything else is Bombay you won't be disappointed. The customer server was the best. Also remember it takes an hour to make since the tacos are gourmet. It's worth the wait!
I really thought the hype surrounding this establishment would've been justified by the food & I really hate to say it, but I was totally wrong. For lots of people who've watched the series "Insecure", they may be familiar with this food spot due to a scene from the show. I figured they would be even busier due to the newfound attention from that show, but while on a visit to Cali I thought my family & I would pay a visit anyway. The gentleman at the window allowed my nephew to place an order earlier than they opened, at around 2:30pm instead of 3pm which we thought was really nice. He said it'd be about an hour before our order would be ready so we decided to go ride around looking for other spots to visit. We didn't want to venture too far & have our order just sitting left to get cold, so we stayed pretty local. Came back to the parking lot of World Wide Tacos at 3:30pm to wait for the call that our order was ready. We didn't get the call & instead had to check at the window numerous times until our order was ready at 5:22pm!!! You read that right: we ordered at 2:30pm & didn't get it until 5:22pm. A niece ordered ground beef soft tacos which she said was ok but too spicy. A sister had the buffalo shrimp & Belizean shrimp hard tacos, which she really like but mentioned how spicy they were. Another family member had steak hard tacos; again, good, seasoned meat but just really spicy. I had the lemon/lime shrimp & garlic shrimp hard tacos.....the garlic shrimp had a funny taste to the sauce I couldn't put my finger on but the lemon/lime shrimp taco WAY too spicy! It had a thick layer of spicy red paste at the bottom of the taco and the shrimp seemed to have been tossed in the same sauce! They were all topped with lettuce, cheese & cilantro looks like. Now us being from New Orleans we LOVE seasoned, spicy food but this left me not enjoying it because it was just all hot pepper, no taste. Just a hot pepper paste taco...I really hated that we waited an ungodly amount of time for that. And to top it off, they forgot my nephews lobster taco to which the guy who initially took the order yelled saying he took his order & he didn't order a lobster taco. Now, to forget a part of an order or hear it incorrectly is one thing, but no customer should be yelled at for trying to clarify a missing part of their order! Huge turnoff amongst everything else. (By the way, it was painful for him to even finish that lobster taco once he got it because that too was full of that same hot pepper paste!) I have no idea what takes them so long to make those tacos but it's ridiculous & not worth the wait. I'm giving 2 stars because the size of the shrimp was nice & the hard taco shell was good. I can't in good faith rate it higher than that from my perspective.
I saw this place on insecure and I thought Issa was over exaggerating the wait time. Boy was I wrong I went here to sample the tacos and they told me a 4hr wait???????? I declined and asked them to let me place a bigger order so I could order enough so all my friends could try them also! It took 24hrs to get the big order but man was it worth it! This place is worth the wait I highly encourage you to try this place out even though the wait is awful long!
