" La Iguanita is a great example of a hidden gem. Moreover, the authentic flavor of the dishes makes it hard to overlook. I simply can't resist their carne asada—it’s so juicy and tender! I love bringing my friends here, and we all agree that it's one of the best taco spots in the city. My only small complaint is about the ambiance being a bit basic. Regardless, for the authentic taste, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve lived in Chicago for years, and I've tried countless taco places, but La Iguanita takes the crown. The carne asada is simply out of this world! Each bite is packed with flavor. I also had their signature burrito; you can tell they prioritize quality over quantity. Note, though, that they are cash-only—I'd love to see them adopt card payments. Still, I will be back for sure. Worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Iguanita after hearing about their tacos and I must say they live up to the hype! The steak tacos had such tender meat and wonderful toppings—it felt like I was tasting real home-cooked Mexican food. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Just a heads up for those who prefer cards, it's cash-only here so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, La Iguanita! I'm impressed! I ordered a variety of tacos, including al pastor and carne asada, and they were perfection! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and I loved the mix of fresh toppings they provided. You can feel the authenticity in every dish. The only downside for me was that my friends didn't want tacos when I went; they missed out big time. I'm already planning to bring them on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot speak highly enough of La Iguanita. The tacos are simply the best I've had in Chicago! The meat tastes authentic, and the variety is bomb. I usually get the asada and al pastor, and they never disappoint. Make sure to try their homemade salsas—definitely worth it! The staff is friendly, and the vibes are relaxed. The only hassle is the cash-only setup, but that won't stop me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried La Iguanita for the first time yesterday. I chose the steak tacos while he had the al pastor. Both were excellent! The flavors were authentic, and I loved the homemade salsa options they provide. We had a lovely experience and definitely plan on returning! Just remember it is cash-only, which was a bit inconvenient but manageable. " (*Curated Review*)

" All I have to say is delicious! I had the chilaquiles with carne and they were phenomenal. I usually don’t rate places, but after this experience, it's well-deserved. The meat was very fresh and well-seasoned, and the salsa verde was delicious. This is my new favorite Mexican spot. Just remember it's cash only, so be prepared! I will be back for sure.
