" The atmosphere of Iguana is electric! I went there for a dance event and had a blast. The energy was contagious, and everyone was enjoying themselves. The food, however, was just average. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were decent but not anything that would blow your socks off. The service was a little slow, but it was a busy night. I'd recommend it for a fun evening out with friends rather than just for food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Iguana has a vibrant nightlife scene that makes it a perfect spot for special occasions. We celebrated a birthday there, and while the venue was packed, we were still able to enjoy our time. The food was really hit or miss; the nachos were lackluster, and the chicken was a bit dry. The service started off quick, but by the time we needed to order dessert, it took forever to get the waiter’s attention. Overall, a fun night but room for improvement in food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Iguana, especially after hearing such great things from friends. However, the food did not meet my expectations. While the drinks were excellent and the atmosphere was lively, the authenticity of the dishes was questionable. My enchiladas were bland, and the portions felt small relative to the price paid. On the plus side, the staff was friendly, but we did have a long wait between courses. I might return for the drinks, but I won’t be in a rush to have dinner there again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Iguana was like entering a fiesta! The colors, the music, everything was on point. The margaritas added to the fun, but when it came to the food, it was a mixed bag. The nachos were excellent, but my steak was overcooked and not seasoned well. Service was friendly but slightly inattentive at peak times. Overall, I had a fantastic time and I’ll return, but I might skip the food next time and focus on the drinks and dancing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Iguana for dinner, and I was somewhat disappointed with the food. The establishment had a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a night out, but the authenticity of the cuisine was lacking. The tacos didn’t taste like the real deal and came in small portions. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which took away from the overall experience. Drinks were good, though! If you're looking for a dance after dinner, this place could be fun, but I would recommend eating elsewhere first. " (*Curated Review*)
