Great food and service but very noisy . I would definitely eat here again though

Beautiful place. Well decorated and set up well. Food was good. Live music upstairs was super loud and competed with the music through the speakers. Not crowded so expected service to be better.

Dinner at Iguanas is always a great time. The setting is relaxed and open-air, but the highlight of the night was the service—truly top-notch and incredibly attentive. We started with the vegan meatballs and the sampler platter, both solid choices to kick off the meal. For mains, the mofongo stole the show. You can choose (if available)between yuca or plantain as the base. My mom had hers with steak, Elliott opted for the garlic shrimp, and both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I went for the chicken chicharrones with a side salad—crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Iguanas might be casual, but the food is thoughtful, and the service takes it to another level. A great spot for a laid-back dinner that delivers on flavor and hospitality.

Fun location and conveniently located near swim up bar pool. Only negative thing to say is that when traveling I want culture. Not looking for american pop music. I would like authentic music if my surroundings.
