    Set-up's!
    Pamela H.

    Just stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon for a snack and a margarita. Nachos, set-up's and margaritas were exceptional! The atmosphere was bougie seaside (which I loved). We had a precious server Madilynn R. She was so pleasant, efficient and totally adorable! We will definitely be back again.

    Food is amazing. Service is very personal. The modern clean feel looks amazing. Food was with fresh ingredients and serving size was spot on. Lots of space for large to two person service. Lots of white to show they clean. They even HOnOR Military discount!!!!! Lots of parking!!! And can't miss the blue Sign!!! Margaritas are smooth and will surprise u..... you're not drinking rubbing alcohol. Worth its financial investment...u get what you pay for and that's quality! I will return with a date next time and just because. Great job y'all! Next time I'm going to start with desert!

    Tacos al pastor
    Joe T.

    Good food, decent service (a little off tonight), and very loud live music. The live band is nice, but way too loud. Get a table far away if you can. The margarita flight was great. My wife loved the mango, the blue curacao tasted exactly like a margarita should, the traditional lime was okay, and the strawberry was way too sweet. And the straight tequila shot came with some nice, chunky salt with little flecks of green (cilantro?). It was great. The salsa was thin and watery and hot, but tasted good (I just like it thick and chunky - maybe this'll be your favorite). The guacamole was great , with a nice pico de gallo on top. Yum!! And the tacos al pastor were excellent!! (Even of the waiter didn't know they had that on the menu.). Wait staff in general seemed to be distracted. It was a slow night, they did a lot of hanging around and visiting among themselves - which just reminded me to slow down and enjoy the moment. Go for the food, get a table far away from the band, and try the margarita flight!

    Ground beef taco salad, house margarita (2 for 1 happy hour), chips with salsa & refried bean dip

    This was my first time at the Blue iguana restaurant. Just happened to be Valentine's day. Man, if you have a large family or meeting bunch of friends for drinks and/or a bite to eat - this is the place to come. I think the facility used to be a Golden Corral and when they renovated it for this Mexican restaurant they left the open floor concept with the exception of one or two rooms off to the side for private parties. TONS of seating that can be arranged to fit just about any size party. Also have standard Booth seating with high backs giving you and your significant other lots of privacy while you eat. I was in the mood for a taco salad and although the size of the offering was a bit smaller than I anticipated, I really enjoyed it a lot. If I had any complaint at all it was that they had too MUCH ground beef in the salad. Personally, I prefer pico de gallo as my 'dressing' to add a little moisture to the salad, but the waitress did make it clear that there were other salad dressing options if you so desired. They also offered the taco salad with steak or chicken as a protein option. The salsa that they bring with the chips could have been a little bit spicier, but it wasn't bland either. Kind of middle of the road. I'm sure the waitress could have brought me some hot sauce or sriracha sauce if I had asked. They also brought a small dish of refried beans with the house chips while waiting for my entry. They were a wonderful 'paste' like consistency. Nothing turns me off more at a Mexican restaurant then refried beans that come soupy and runny. Again, the dip could have been a little spicier but I enjoyed it with my chips just the same. If I order the taco salad again I will definitely have to ask for more lettuce and less ground beef LOL so that it's more 'salad-like'. Public areas and bathroom are impeccably clean and saw staff constantly walking around and cleaning tables and keeping things nice and organized. Waitress was very attentive and checked in on me several times during my meal. Can't say how's the rest of their menu is since this was my first time there, but based on this experience I will definitely be back.

    Steak Tacos

    The ambiance at Blue Iguana is fun and different--from the bold colors to the decor. The bar has a great selection of tequilas, and the food was solid for a Mexican restaurant in Baton Rouge. It's a great choice if you're looking for Mexican food down Sherwood Forest. The tacos weren't quite as good as a few of the taco trucks around Baton Rouge, but overall it's definitely a solid spot.

    Chicken fajitas
    Jeanne P.

    The bright and vibrant colors and glow of blue lights certainly stand out on a pretty dull stretch of S Sherwood Forest. My friend and I arrived for a Sunday dinner, and we were quickly seated in a booth. The space is very open with lots of room. The interior has a lot of funny murals and artwork, as well as a few eclectic light fixtures. You get chips and salsa, as well as a little black bean dip, when you are seated. I ordered red wine, and it was actually a pretty tasty one. I ordered three a la carte tacos, and while none were earth shattering, they were good. I wasn't hungry enough for a full dish, so this was satisfying. My friend's fajitas were fresh and sizzling. Everything was quick and tasty. There were a few birthdays in the place, so we watched the staff sing and all for those people. This is a great place to bring a large group to, especially with kids. (Just don't let your kids do sprints across the place or even toss a football around like this group did - staff shouldn't have to come tell you that.) I will absolutely recommend this place for when we do our girls dinner and will certainly be trying the tequila drinks and specials!

    Margarita
    Jenni C.

    If you haven't tried this place, I highly recommend you go!! 2 for 1 margaritas at happy hour. The house ones were very good! We enjoyed the band as well. My grandson and i split the ground beef nachos ($14.99) and i could not believe how massive they were!!! It would feed a family, haha. There were very yummy, loaded with meat and cheese. They did not skimp at all! My husband had steak and chicken fajitas. It was a great portion, tender and flavorful meat, delicious veggies as well. The complimentary chips were perfect. The salsa was very tasty as well Service was top notch!!! Our server, Jean Paul, was just great! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful. Food comes out in a timely manner, the staff makes sure you're doing great. We never wanted for anything. I cannot wait to go back and try more items. It's a def must try spot.

    October drink potions.  This one was La Llorona.  It was really great.  and it had a great presentation!

    The food was prepared with detail and care. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is large enough to have a few cozy spots, as well as, family style tables. Will go back again

    White queso
    David F.

    First time in and my wife and I tried a little bit of everything. Tight off we noticed how clean everything looked and smelled. Cleaning agent was a little stout. First, white queso was fantastic. Had a good spice to it. We had a mixture of items including ground meat, chicken, steak, and shrimp. Everything was seasoned perfectly except the shrimp. Shrimp could have used a little extra seasoning. Staff was fantastic and very attentive. Will definitely be back.

    Went on a rainy Tuesday night. Staff was very welcoming and attentive. Chips and salsa were very good. Got the Carne asada. It was steamy got and cooked perfectly. It was clean and nice lighting.

    My new favorite Mexican in BR. Had Pedro's Favorite and Speedy Gonzales. We loved everything on the plates. Good variety and my husband and I were able to try a little of everything. Service was wonderful. Ask for Kelsie. She was super sweet and attentive. Very clean and love the theme. Didn't sit at bar but looks like they have a nice bar area too.

    BullFish Bistro - Baton Rouge…read more I had an amazing experience at BullFish Bistro in Baton Rouge! I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and spinach, and everything was perfection. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like them. The mashed potatoes were creamy and seasoned just right, and the spinach added the perfect fresh balance to the plate. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the meal feel even more special. If you're looking for a spot with delicious food and great vibes, I definitely recommend giving BullFish Bistro a try. I'll absolutely be back!

    Another true Gem of Baton Rouge, this is the second location it's expanded from once on Nicholson…read moredrive near LSU and now it's nestled on Airline highway near the main strip. The service has always been spot on which makes me return on a consistent basis. The food is always FRESH and made to order so don't worry about getting old cold food. The decor makes you feel as though you are on the island getaway without leaving home. The bar produces so of the most beautiful drinks and they taste great. My favorites are the lamb chops that are cooked to perfection and the beef oxtails. When it comes to appetizers honey pepper chicken bites and the beef patties always call my name. The chef and and his family are loving and very inviting as if they invited you to their home for a delicious meal. I will return and hope to work my way through trying the entire menu.
