Best WLM Reviews

Really chill place. Food is fantastic. Amazing margaritas and cocktails. A Lil pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Lots of variety in the food, been here 2 times, most recently ordered a seafood boil ????awesome stuff. The customer service is not the most attentive but they are nice and friendly.
Tacos are great! Definitely worth getting the pollo and the pastor tacos. The red sauce that comes with it is amazing as well. Burrito was so so therefore I don't recommend it. Might as well get tacos for the money. Ordered on GrubHub for pickup and was ready in 12 minutes!
Been coming here for many years. Best guacamole in lake county by far. Steak tacos and burritos have juicy, not overcooked generous portions of steak. Have tried many fish dishes that are authentic and fantastic as well.Owner and staff attentive and make great margaritas. Tried ceviche for first time tonight, and now I am addicted. You will not be disappointed with jewel inside a strip mall.
I absolutely love this place! The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and so are the drinks. Best piñata colada I've ever had. They were busy when I arrived due to a wedding reception they were hosting. However they were still attentive and got my food to me without much of a wait. Absolutely will be back, and soon!
Tasty food and fast service that for the most part, seems to be marred by the location and looks from the outside. I was searching around for a good Mexican restaurant to bring my family since the last one we went to has become very popular.
There is fairly limited parking from the front entering in, and from the adjacent businesses, it gives off a negative vibe that this restaurant might not be very clean. From how everything was set up to be, I came in here disheartened, and walked out vindicated. I can't wait to bring my brother here, since it's closer to our home & cheaper.
The chicken chimichanga isn't really for my tastes, but the beef fajita and shrimp were perfect. The tortilla soup in the beginning was light and tasty. This place on the inside gives off a strong party vibe. Dishes can range from 15 ~ 100 dollars in here, so you can get a hearty dish for yourself, or a party platter for those celebratory football matches.
We'll be back for sure.
Edit 2021:
Ordered Tacos from GrubHub, originally expected 39 tacos from the taco order, but misunderstood menu options. Their fish & chicken tacos has a tangy sweet sauce that meshes well with the shredded lettuce and the sauces were on ????.
Food was incredible, prepared fresh, presentation was impressive. Best salsa Verde. Everything is cooked to order, good portions. Best kept secret tucked away in Vernon hills on Butterfield road in a strip mall. We will definitely be back.
Excellent service. The food was delicious. Drinks were good. Forgot picture of the molcajete which was amazing.
The food was Simply Amazing. From the drinks to the App from the Entree was delightful ????. Would come back anytime!
