What Great food right at the beach! Friendly service and prices were good. The Taco Carnitas were great. Busy on Friday and Saturday nights but that's to be expected from these nice places at the beach. read more

We did our girls night at Flying Iguana this week and it always is delicious. We split the table-side prepared guacamole and the crispy Brussel sprouts. What I love about the table-side preparation is that you can customize your guac to be exactly to your preference. We like more chunky with lots of tomato, onion, and jalapeño. I got the spice of life margarita (spicy marg, so delicious and definitely has some heat) and the pork belly taco and steak taco. The pork belly has a Coca Cola marinade or glaze that is so unique, and the taco comes with watermelon and yummy cheese on top. It's just so perfect in my eyes. I love how it's unique but still familiar tasting. The steak taco was also delicious especially the Pepitas on top. Our server Brad was super cool and attentive! read more

I was in the area of Neptune Beach today during dinner time so I decided to stop in here and grab some early dinner. I am so glad I did because everything tasted great. They have plenty of indoor, outdoor and bar seating. I was lucky enough to get one of the outdoor tables on this beautiful day. The menu offers plenty of great sounding drinks, appetizers, salads, and tacos. I started with the prickly pear frozen margarita. It looked and tasted great. I also decided to go with the blackened shrimp taco and the flying fish taco. I enjoyed them both but found the blackened shrimp taco to be a little bit tastier. Service was fairly quick. read more

Sat at the bar, bar service was okay. Could have been better. I literally had to ask for every single thing. They have drink specials during hh. No food specials during hh. Bar backs and runners were friendlier and asked checked in more often. Nice restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Table side guacamole available. Food was good. Guacamole-chips & Salsa-and tacos. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Neptune Beach. I always get the guac because they make it fresh in front of you and they have lots of yummy tacos to choose from. I recently got the brussels sprouts as an appetizer when I was there for happy hour and they were also very yummy. On top of that, Mondays they have six dollar house marks and there's some of the best marks I've had! I highly recommend this spot for happy hour or dinner with friends. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the bar is first come first serve which I enjoy! My service is usually really good when I go and I'm always happy with my experience. read more

Finally made it in here for dinner and I'm glad I did. The elote and the truffle fries were a fantastic way to start the meal. The watermelon drink I got was strong and tasty. The steak bowl was alright, I will be trying something different next time. A big tv and some little ones to catch sports games. Always smells delicious when you walk past too! read more

Flying Iguana is one of my favorite places to eat at the beaches. They have great chips and salsa, with two salsa flavors. You can also get super tasty guacamole made right at your table and customized to your preferences. I usually get a couple tacos, but my other favorite thing is their Ceviche de Pescado. All the flavors are delicious! They also make great drinks. My favorite is the Garden Margarita, which has muddled cucumber and cilantro in it. It's very fresh and a nice change from margaritas made with sour mix. You can make it a Spicey Garden, with a tajin rim and jalapenos. Or if you really like spicy, the Spice of Life is really good. I don't think I've ever had anything I don't like there, and we've been going for almost 10 years. read more

Definitely a nicer Mexican restaurant in terms of Mexican food. I got a skinny marg which was pretty good. Also got queso, guacamole, and salsa. The queso was my favorite out of the three. Surprisingly I preferred the dirty south taco and it didn't have meat but a fried green tomato instead. It was fresh out of the frier and phenomenal. read more

It was a mild day in August--really!! So we sat outside on the patio. We started with guacamole and chips. It was incredibly delicious. The chips had a nice spice on them and the guacamole was evenly balanced. Our server checked on us the right number of times. My husband ordered the pork dish. It was seasoned well. I had the chicken and rice bowl. The flavors were very authentic. It's a great place to get some fresh food that tastes good. read more

Friend, sis and I had lunch here before being dropped off at the airport. Thought we'd get a good, solid lunch in because we'd be missing dinner in the air. And we left with full tummies. Friend had been here before so she knew to order the table-side guac. It was a lunch rush with only one gal on guac duty. We saw her make guac for at least 5 tables before us. We tried to cancel the order since we waited for over 20 minutes and our entrees would be out soon, but we were next in line. So we got it but the waitress did comp it on the final bill, which was a nice gesture. Sal ordered a Crispy Pork Belly taco. It came with watermelon and she said it compliments well. I'll take her word for it. Sis ordered the Cubana Torta. It came with a salad. She liked the salad. Said it tasted like pickled cabbage. The sandwich meat was well flavored and juicy. Nice hints of mustard and pickles. Sometimes the mustard can overpower but this was balanced with the saltiness of the pork/ham. I ordered the Mexican Cheese Steak torte Torte. Bread was warm, toasted. Outside crusty but inside was soft. Great flavors that I can't remember but it was the best meal I had all weekend. I had the pablano peppers on the side and I'm glad I did. I could smell the spicy heat and it would have been too much fur my MN mouth. Fries were hot and lightly salted. I couldn't stop eating them so I had to throw the napkin over my plate. Out of sight, out if mind. The Flying Iguana was probably my favorite restaurant during my mid-Feb vacation. My hometown Mexican restaurants need to step up their game!! read more

The food was excellent but the service left a little to be desired. The table side guacamole was very good. It was just our server seemed like we were a burden. The place is nice. It has a good vibe. We sat inside because we were a party of 7 and there was no outside space for a party that large. read more

Very impressed with the service in general on the 4th of July. I don't envy anyone that works on a holiday. But honestly props to the chef because this was a 10/10 steak quesadilla!! Didn't love the absurd amount of mayonnaise on the plate though, but I get that it was for decoration/plating. read more

My daughter and I were wanting a snack, homemade guacamole. We went to flying Iguana and sat outside as it was a beautiful day in Atlantic Beach! Our server didn't ask if we wanted it made table side, he ran off so fast and returned with the guacamole already made. While we have loved their guac in the past, it wasn't the greatest. read more

Came around 5:15pm on Father's Day-- it was very slow (I think because of weather) so we were seated immediately. It was quiet which isn't the norm. Our server was polite and professional. For drinks, we ordered the spice of life (their version of a spicy marg). I love this drink- has just the right kick, not too spicy. We ordered our usual go-to's for food: the steak taco and the junkyard taco. They are spicy so I order mine without the Fresno chiles or flaming iguana sauce. The chips & salsa are no longer complimentary which is unfortunate. They have some interesting new rice bowls I would like to try next time. We were in and out in 30ish minutes which was nice with the kiddos. read more

Great service during our summer weekday lunch. This street in Neptune is really cute & the restaurant was pretty and comfortable. The tableside guac was excellent--best part of lunch!! The carnitas taco was good and pork belly taco with watermelon was interesting and also good. The house marg wasn't inexpensive but it was tasty. They wouldn't sub the protein out on the chicken rice bowl so that was weird. Overall it was an enjoyable lunch. read more

Heard great things about this restaurant during my last visit to Jax Beach and had to make it there for dinner one night! We didn't make reservations ahead of time, so when we arrived there was quite a long wait, however, we got lucky enough and found 3 open spots at the bar so we snagged those immediately! The bar offers full service so we were able to order drinks and food. The guacamole was so fresh and yummy, and the queso dip was also fantastic! Definitely not like your average queso and had a bit of a smoky flavor to it which I really enjoyed. For my main dish, I went with a couple of tacos and they were also absolutely delicious! The junkyard was probably my favorite with grilled chicken, roasted potato, queso sauce, shaved cabbage, charred corn salsa, and flaming iguana sauce, but the dirty south was also really great and consisted of fried green tomato, black eyed "peaco" de gallo, queso sauce, and baby arugula. I was also told to order the guava cheesecake from a friend/local, and I am SO glad I did because wow, it was phenomenal. I love anything with guava and knew it was going to be a hit. I am still dreaming of it today and hope to go back to Jax Beach in the near future! read more

Back in town and had to hit my favorite place, of course. Had the flying fish taco and the junkyard taco which were both incredible. Guac was delish as I remember but it wasn't table side this time, for some reason. Sat on the outside patio which was great vibes. read more

Best fish tacos ever! The guac made at the table is also very good. Nice atmosphere :)

I ordered the achiote chicken and blackened shrimp tacos. The chicken taco was great and tasty, but the shrimp taco was a little salty. The vibes of the place were great and I would definitely go back! read more

With a menu on the more limited side, I think flying iguana is most worth it if you're coming here for tacos, which they do have a good amount of options. The other menu items are alright, but way more expensive than they seem like they would be. But the tacos were delicious! The crispy pork belly was a little too crispy for my taste, but I loved the watermelon. And the Baja fish was perfectly crispy. And the chips and salsa were delicious too. I loved the red salsa and I loved that the chips were seasoned so you didn't even need to put salsa on to already have some flavor. read more

My wife and I strolled in from the beach around 9 pm and had a good time closing out our evening time at Flying Iguana. We sat outside and had blackened shrimp tacos and chips with guacamole, $33 total bill. Great conversation, great vibes. Thank you to our server Jackson! read more

Service was great! Wouldn't recommend if you're celebrating anything. Was celebrating my engagement and all I got was a congratulations

Delicious Mexican food, great service, and nice atmosphere. It was my first time here and we sat at the bar. Came in to celebrate my cousin's birthday with dinner and drinks and it was a good time. Our bartender Donovan was great and knowledgeable. There was another guy behind the bar helping, but I didn't catch his name, but he was great as well. We had the steak, pork belly, achiote chicken, and shrimp tacos, along with ceviche, chips with salsa, and queso. Everything was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Now the drinks! Omg! So good! From the mixed shots to the margarita, it all was blended perfectly and tasted amazing. We got lit! The vibes were great here, and other bars are walkable if you want to bar hop after. I'd definitely recommend! read more

I love this place and it never disappoints. The challenge is deciding between their tacos, the sopa de pollo, and the Caribbean shrimp bowl since all are excellent. They happen to have the best Skinny Ritas in town. I went on an off night which made a big difference since it's is usually very crowded for good reason. It's a bonus if you are lucky enough to snag an outdoor seat - yet indoor is nice as well. Once you get a table, I doubt you can go wrong here. read more

We always start with the guacamole--they make it right at your table, and it's amazing. I got the mango based margarita, then a few house. I forgot to snap a pic of the before eaten.

New in town and craving Mexican. We shared the chicken bowl and a steak tacos. Let me just say the flavors were uh-mazing! Our server was very nice and brought our food pretty quickly. We also had the chips and salsas--green and a smoky one--both great. Margaritas were just right!

Food was fantastic. Took about 15 minutes to get a server there. The table was not wiped well. The bathroom has one stall. Not a great design for a big restaurant with a lot of seats. Once the server got there, she was yawning on the spot. She was very good. This place has a great ambience, great food beautiful colors and stuff like that and once again, the food was great. They did charge us $17 For a shrimp quesadilla. That's a little not cool. I got the fried fish taco and that was great. read more

We met up with some friends on a Friday evening at Flying Iguana. We started off with chips, salsa and a couple Swap Shop margaritas. Perfect starters for some conversation! For dinner, hubby ordered the Peruvian steak bowl and I ordered 3 tacos - meat n' potato, achiote chicken and carnitas. Hubby absolutely loved his dish. I tried a few bites and it was very good. The combination of anticucho steak with white rice, black beans, corn salsa and the fried egg - amazing! The tacos weren't authentic but they were delicious. The achiote chicken was flavorful. I loved the lime aioli and the fresh avocado. Carnitas tacos are my go to and this one was simple and really good. I loved the queso fresco and cilantro on top. The meat n' potato came in 3rd place for me. The charred corn salsa was a nice addition to the beef tinga. We took 2 guava cheesecakes to go and OMG were they amazing! I forgot to take a picture and before you knew it they were gone. I would definitely recommend trying this dessert. Great area and ambience, inside and out. Attentive service, nice bar, delicious food. Hubby can't wait to go back for another Peruvian steak bowl! read more

Wonderful food and experience. If you find your place in JAX, specifically Neptune Beach, this is a must visit place!!!!

Neptune Beach is one of the sweetest beach communities you'll find in the Eastern United States. Naturally, Flying Iguana fits in perfectly to the aesthetic. The bar was perfect for me on my most recent visit, but there were also tables and chairs. The staff are equally pretty people inside and out. This is a must on your next visit! They offer about 10 different margaritas. I went with the skinny and it was delicious. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything because I wanted a few less calories. There is a full bar for alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I enjoyed the nachos seasoned with Old Bay and the salsa verde. Very tasty! Hoping to return soon for the fish tacos and ceviche, which looked good at the seats next to us. See website for hours and locations. Paid street parking available. read more

A pleasurable and relaxing dining experience on my first visit ever to the Flying Iguana Taqueria restaurant. Despite the cold, rainy and windy weather on this Saturday night visit near the beach I was able to warm up inside the coziness of the dining room. The interior is large and spacious. Overall service by the entire staff was superbly wonderful. Friendly, courteous and professional management and staff. My fav Athletic Brewing NA beer was on hand. In enjoyed the refreshing drink along with the deliciously fresh guacamole and chips. Ordered the Peruvian whole chicken that came with four sides. Chicken was baked to perfection and was juicy and tasty. Lucky to take home leftovers to also enjoy. Looking forward to my next visit soon and treat myself again! read more
