" What a gem Iguana is! My friends and I decided to hit up this spot based on its nightlife reputation. The place didn’t disappoint! The vibrant atmosphere combined with great drinks created a memorable night. The food was pretty good, particularly the margaritas and guacamole made fresh right at the table. We did feel that some dishes could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, great ambiance for a fun night out, and I’d definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I could not get enough of this place! From the vibrant decor to the friendly staff, every moment was enjoyable. The margaritas were top-notch, definitely one of the best I’ve had. I tried the chicken fajitas, which were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Everything was reasonably priced for the quality I received. The DJ was fantastic, and we danced the night away! If you're looking for a lively atmosphere with good food and drinks, Iguana is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Iguana was a mixed bag. The ambiance was incredible, perfect for a night out with friends. We ordered several appetizers, and while the guacamole was fantastic and made fresh at our table, I found the tacos to be a bit lackluster. They lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for, especially given the prices. Service was decent at first, but we did end up waiting a long time for our check. Overall, a fun place to hang out but don't rely solely on the food for an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Iguana is a vibrant spot that I adore for its lively energy! I ordered the burrito, and it was decent but lacked the authentic Mexican flavor I was hoping for. The portion sizes aren’t the biggest, considering the prices. I appreciated the attentive staff at the beginning, but as the evening progressed, it became increasingly difficult to get their attention. Definitely a great place for a fun night, but I would recommend eating prior to coming or just stick to drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Iguana was quite pleasant. The decor is festive, and the atmosphere lively and welcoming. I sampled the quesadilla and found it very tasty, but the portions were not as generous as I expected given their prices. Additionally, I found service to be a little lagging at times, especially when it came to water refills. It's a great place for drinks and dancing but if you're looking for a hearty meal, lower your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
