" During my last visit to La Iguanita, I decided to try the steak burrito based on recommendations, and I was not disappointed! The burrito was huge and filled generously. You can really taste the effort they put into the preparation—it's definitely not your average taco shack. Just make sure you bring cash; it’s a bit inconvenient but totally worth it. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, the tacos here are incredible! I'm picky about my tacos, but La Iguanita exceeded all my expectations. They are loaded with fresh ingredients, and the corn tortillas are on another level. I've been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. However, maybe they could look into accepting cards, as it can be inconvenient for some. A real gem that I will continue returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes visiting La Iguanita based on the raving reviews, and it did not disappoint! The tacos here are bursting with flavor, especially the carne asada, which is seasoned to perfection. The staff is both friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy. They need to consider taking cards to accommodate more customers, but the food was worth every penny of cash. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the Brighton Park area, do yourself a favor and visit La Iguanita! The carne asada tacos are the standout dish here, and I'm obsessed with their homemade salsas. The portion sizes are generous, making it worth the price. Plus, I appreciate that they focus on quality ingredients. It’s cash only, but they do have an ATM on-site for convenience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Got takeout from La Iguanita last weekend and wow—it exceeded my expectations! The steak burrito was delicious, loaded with quality meat and fresh toppings. The only small inconvenience was their cash-only policy, but it's completely worth it for the taste. Truly one of the best Mexican spots in Chicago! " (*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.
