We’ve been to Las Iguanas twice in two days, and honestly, I’d go every night if I could. On Friday, we shared the tacos — they were cooked perfectly. We actually cancelled plans at a highly-rated steakhouse just to come back tonight because the food, service, and atmosphere were so good. Scott, our server, remembered us from the night before and was brilliant — super helpful, cheerful, and welcoming. His cocktail recommendations? Spot on. Tonight we tried the honey chicken tacos and the chicken, prawn, and steak fajitas. They did not disappoint. The steak was tender, and the prawns were cooked to perfection. It was such a relaxed meal, and we even stayed for a nice chat and cocktails afterward without feeling pressured to leave, like you do at some places. The whole vibe is cosy with low lighting, great music, and fast service. Plus, the smells from the kitchen make you want to try everything on the menu. Can’t wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our meal here today. We had tapas and drinks and we absolutely loved it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was amazing! We had the buttermilk fried chicken, hot honey fried halloumi, potatas bravas curly fries and onion rings. The halloumi was delicious!! We will be back again soon!

Friendly service from Harry and new server, Heidi. It's a fun atmosphere with some fantastic vegan options. We came as a family of 4 and felt really looked after. The food was good, but the service was exceptional.

Haven't dined here in a while. Was such a lovely atmosphere. Aliyah was a great waitress. Friendly, service with a smile and conversation which is rare. Really tasty tapas and great wine. We enjoyed our evening here and look forward to next time!

Great experience and great food. Our lovely waiter mark made sure we had all our orders taken for bottomless tapas so that we weren’t left without any food. Very helpful with what food to order and what meat to get! Will definitely be coming again

Perfect boxing day lunch, a great way to end the festivities. There is a large variety of options on the menu which would cater for all foodies. The atmosphere is fun and energetic with very friendly and helpful staff. My only niggle would be the fact the only lager they have on draught which is Corona, not the best lager in the world that's for sure. However would highly Rate this place for a family meal.
