On Nevada's historic square across from the courthouse.
Michael S.

Summary: Casual setting, value priced entrees, and friendly service in a large space on Nevada's square. You shouldn't have an issue getting a seat here: the space is huge--even just the main dining room is large. All the usual Mexican restaurant recipes are on the menu. We arrived for lunch, which has particularly good value meals. Combos, starting at $6.49, include an entree plus rice, beans, and a bit of salad. Plus, complementary light, crispy chips and flavorful fresh salsa. Healthy black beans came with a cooked spinach burrito topped with cheese. A chimichanga included flavorful chicken with refried beans. Rice was seasoned well and not overcooked. Service was terrific. Free street parking in front.

Inside has been remodeled since we were here last!

I saw that I reviewed this place over 10 years ago! We always look forward to stopping here anytime we are driving through. We usually get the Avocado Burrito and it never disappoints. Huge chunks of lean pork! We share it and both leave stuffed, so at $14.99 it's a great bargain. Their margaritas are the best, not too tart or too frozen. The service has always been great!! They are happy to bring us extra sauce, extra napkins etc...and we can get in and out quickly. We'll see you next time, it's well worth the stop!

Spinach wraps, rice and black beans at Iguana Azul
Carol A.

Cinco de Mayo plus a lovely Spring day calls for a Road Trip and great Mexican food. That is how Hubby and I found ourselves in Nevada, Missouri at Iguana Azul for lunch today. This spacious Mexican themed restaurant situated across from the distinctive County Courthouse on the main town square, has gotten mostly favorable to excellent reviews on Yelp, so we decided to make it our destination. It lived up to our expectations in every way with so many tempting menu items that the only downside of our visit was having to choose only one entree each. I went with two flour tortillas wrapped around fresh chopped spinach, onion and spices with a really lovely, flavorful Espinaca over the top. These were accompanied by generous sides of rice, black beans, chopped lettuce and tomato and sour cream. Hubby ordered a Chimichanga filled with tender chunks of grilled beef tips that was served with sides of rice, pinto beans, shredded lettuce, guacamole, chopped tomato and sour cream. Hubby cleaned his plate quickly, while I took a more leisurely approach, sipping a well made house Margarita (16 oz size - although they also have one that is 27 ozs) and using some of the complimentary crunchy corn chips as scoops to be sure I didn't miss even a morsel of the rice or beans. That reminds me, the salsa served with the chips was very good with a nice cilantro undertone to compliment the slightly chunky texture of the tomatoes. Service was friendly and thoughtful and our entrees arrived so quickly that for just a second I thought we must be getting someone else's order by mistake. I am often reluctant to give a place five stars on a first visit, but considering our great experience and the number of other 5 star reviews, I am going to say that Iguana Azul is "as good as it gets" and, as for me, I just want another road trip down I-49, sooner rather than later, so I can give some of those other menu items a try.

Beef Taquitos.

See all

Food average like most Mexican is. They have the worst tasting margaritas I ever had. Don't know how they do it. Way overrated.

This is my favorite Mexican place in town. The guacamole is delicious! Service is usually great but at other times sorely lacking.

Cancun Mexican

This place was neato…read more It was clean, fast, and friendly. The food was pretty dang good, much better than Chili's or Chevy's. I was super impressed by the quesadilla. It was thick, full and had a great texture. Price was very fair and I would go again in a heartbeat.

I'll start by saying I was in Warrensburg from out of state for my daughter's graduation. So, I…read moregoogled a restaurant that is close, in a safe park of town that easy to access with plenty of parking and arrived at Cancun Mexican Cuisine. Outside the place needs a little TLC but no big deal I thought. Walking in I really enjoyed the amount of décor giving it that Mexican vibe I love. Looking around the stucko, hanging hats, flags, obnoxiously colored chairs and tables are what comes to mind when I go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. However, on a 90 degree day, the restaurant was like 92 which was sort of a precursor to the experience I was about to embark on. First off the salsa was pretty bad. It had no heat which I actually prefer but it had no flavor. I literally thought it tasted like a mild marinara as if no cilantro was added rather it was poured from a can. The chips were ok but after tasting the "salsa" I was disappointed as that's usually the highlight. At least my sweet tea was pretty good. Oh the server needed something else to do as he was at the table every five minutes. As for dinner my daughter got the fajita nachos and seemed fairly unimpressed. It was mostly because the cheese was fairly bland but she did like the veggies as they looked and tasted charred. My other got the steak fajitas. While most of it was decent, the steak was TOUGH and had zero flavor. I literally had two bites and had to spit both out because I couldn't get through one bite. She did mention "wow usually it tastes a lot better." Her boyfriend seemed to echo the same point, WTH was up with the food. As for my meal, I tried the Enchiladas Bandera's. I thought it was ok. I liked having three options on one plate but I noticed all the sauces weren't very flavorful. I know being a former chef can taint my view, but most want to taste that "authentic Mexican" in every bite. I will say that the chicken and beef were cooked right and juicy and I liked the corn tortillas. I believe if the sauces had more "life" this would have been gone from an ok dish to an absolute winner. I'll say I was very pleased to have lettuce with sour cream and guac to round out a personalized tasting of each enchilada. Overall, I didn't come away with a great experience at Cancun. While the mood was perfect, the heat, and canned sauce flavors with over cooked beef threw off the whole experience. I'll admit I generally like to visit a place more than once just to be sure it wasn't a one-off experience; I don't have that luxury. My final words are if you want Mexican, consider somewhere else.
