Great Food, friendly staff We go eat Mexican food every Friday night and this is by far my favorite place to go, try the cilantro rice, I love it read more

guana Joe's in Crosby is really the only true place to go for dinner in town. That said, the building itself could use some TLC. It's old and needs a deep cleaning, a fresh coat of paint, and some attention to the uneven floors--especially near the front, where it leaks when it rains. What truly makes this place worth visiting, though, is the people. The staff is great, the managers are always visible and willing to help, and the bartenders are some of the most personable I've ever met. Julie and Cierra are fantastic behind the bar--friendly, attentive, and always ready to chat or lend a hand. Velia, the manager, goes above and beyond for her customers and ensures everyone feels taken care of. If the building ever gets the updates it deserves, Iguana Joe's would be hard to beat. The staff already makes it a local favorite. read more

We have been before and liked the playground for the kids even though the food was mediocre at best. This last time our drinks were not the same, partners strong, mine weak. The fajitas came out on a plate so hot that the chicken and the onions were burnt black and we had to scrape them off. Sent it back to the kitchen, finished our drinks and left. With all the amazing, local and authentic food around, this will always be a last resort from now on. read more

Ordered to go and food was warm and tasty. I love that they always give you chips and salsa. The cashier was nice and helpful.

Well let me just say UNPROFESSIONAL The GM supposedly is the most unprofessional person that makes me not want to come back here. I feel sorry for his wait staff... We came here and we sat down and our table that they wanted us because we wanted to move outside once the waiters said we could move either than the GM started screaming at me saying we couldn't sit at the table so we could sit anywhere else and I told him to show me the table you'd like us to sit at and he couldn't do that. And he just started arguing with me. And at that point, I just don't have time to argue so very unprofessional. Somebody should really take over this Place. But I'll gladly take my business and my very large family across the street and give my money to them. If you want good food, it's OK if you want professional service don't come here. read more

Great Mexican food restraunt in Crosby Texas. They have better salsa now than they did many years ago and they have free ice cream! read more

Iguana Joe's - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Crosby, Texas

I'm not even sure where to start with this one. Im sure the photos alone speak for themselves. We ordered door dash from iguana joes which has a 4.5 star rating on door dash.... How? I have literally no clue. Let's start with the Mac which was advertised with a photo that was completely different than what we received and the description even said it was rich and creamy.... It was literally craft Mac and cheese. The flautas absolutely had to have been shipped in pre rolled and frozen, ready to fry. The guacamole was %90 tomatoes %10 avocado. The kids quesadilla was 1/3 the size of my hand. The beans for sure came straight from the can and same with their cheese. They both tasted like straight up plastic. And while we are on the topic plastic, why does their salsa verde look like that. It had a blueish grayish hue and reminded me of the slime from Nickelodeon. The only thing I enjoyed was their overly greasy tortillas chips read more

See all

We have been loyal patrons of Iguana Joe's for more than 20 years (before they expanded and had multiple locations). The food was always good and something you could count on being yummy. We had not been out to eat in quite some time and opted to go here last night. Much to our disappointment, the food was no longer what we had come to love. The red salsa was different and not to our liking. The guacamole was full of filler (like too many tomatoes) and the beans were just okay - not anything like they used to be. Overall, the food was only mediocre. Service, however, was great! Due to the changes in the food taste and quality, we will not be going back. read more

Just don't know where to go with this review. Coming from the Arizona and Southern California areas Tex-Mex is a very different style of Mexican food. But birria tacos and cilantro rice are fairly universal. The birria was good flavor wise but just was to greasy. The consume was also good. Cilantro rice was fairly average. The mixed drinks had no alcohol taste to them at all. Staff was prompt and very friendly. Inside could definitely use a face lift. Nothing wrong with the look they are going for but some facilities maintenance is definitely overdue. Bar area floor is visible in dis repair as the tile is all broken up as well as the concrete that is there now. Things like that have to make you question sanitation practices since you cannot properly clean a chipped and broken concrete floor. read more

Definitely enjoyed our dinner here ! The staff was great, especially the manager Nathan ! Come see them you won't be disappointed!!

Great chicken quesadillas. Chips not so good but the salsa is very good. Service is ok. It would be nice if they buy new the booths. Prices are fair. read more

i asked for the ocean wave. i was informed that they have never made this drink at this location and there is no plans to add it. however it is on the menu. read more

The food and drinks were good. As a senior, however, the restroom was hot and floor slippery and it did not meet standards for a handicapped restroom. Too bad! A good experience otherwise! read more

We ordered the Chicken Diablo. The chicken was dry and the bacon around it was burnt black and some of the bacon was raw. The portions were extremely small. The ranchero beans were cold and we were there early enough they were not busy. So there was no excuse for cold beans. This is the second time we have been unhappy with our meal there and we will not be back. The atmosphere is great but when the food was very lacking read more

We have ate here for years. Recently the prices doubled. They gave us issues getting smaller portions even though we explained we can't eat much. Quality has gone down, portions are smaller and everything is more expensive. read more

Great experience! Always comes through! fresh food and great drinks! manager Nathan is amazing!!

Not long ago I wrote how disappointed I was with a to go order from the Crosby Iguana Joe's. Irma, the manager of Iguana Joe's reached out to me and said they have fixed the problem and offered to replace the meal for free. It was delicious! Thank you Irma for listening to your customers. Well done! read more

Food absolutely sucks I mean not even passible never get caught dead here food is over priced n again just sucks !

Service is trash and so is the quality I've lived here 15 years convenience is good. The best one is on beltway and wallisville.

If I could give it no stars I would. Terrible service m, food tasted like it was made the day before. The only good service we got was from an older gentleman that was bussing tables. read more

Inconsistent COVID precautions. Sign on door saying you need to wear masks but the staff is not practicing any safety measures. If they have masks, most are wearing under their chin. Not a safe place to eat. read more

Love Iguana Joe's!! The queso is my favorite! This is a great place to hang out with family and friends too!!!

Worst restaurant in Crosby, terrible food and terrible service. If your just going to the bar for drinks it's not horrible but there's still better options in Crosby then this place for drinking read more

I waited all thru the covid shut in. Finally was able to order from Iguana Joe's, Crosby, cost me $35 bucks! Got it home, and boy what a disappointment!! Fajitas had no taste, salsa was yuck, green sauce was bland and rice was tasteless? Portions were much smaller than we normally get and an ounce each of salsa and green sauce??? TERRIABLE WASTE OF MONEY!! read more

This place is getting worse and worse, the quality has gone to nothing. The shrimp fajitas have little tiny frozen shrimp cocktails instead of the brown gulf shrimp listed on the menu. Place is dirty inside and staff has no idea what they are doing. Go somewhere else read more

I came to iguana joes today and I ordered something that came with flour tortillas but when I got my food it did not come with flour tortillas.Iguana Joe's please give me flour tortillas next time. read more

It has a good selection on their menu, I was surprised. The food is just ok, nothing amazing about it. If you just want some basic Tex-Mex food, then yes I'd recommend it. We enjoy going on Monday or Tuesdays, they have kids eat free. I usually order their taco salad. Husband orders their Deluxe platter. Our boys order their quesadilla, burger and pizza. It's not my favorite place but when you live in a small town and that's the only Tex-Mex place in the area without having to drive 20 mins to another location. read more

Food is mediocre paired with long waits and rude management. Quality of this restaurant has immensely decreased. If wanted to be treated like garbage while I eat I would go to dicks restaurant, all around bad experience will mot be coming again and urge other to not commit the mistake of giving this corporation your money. read more

Yeah, just stick to the drinks and appetizers at this location. I can say that they are consistent- consistently mediocre. You've been warned! read more

I'm not sure there's much that I can do as far as an in depth review, but I can give you several reasons to like Iguana Joe's. 1) They are open until 10 on Friday and Saturday nights, which is a plus when you don't want to or can't leave Crosby and are hungry later in the evening. 2) They have great chips and salsa, which taste like they're made in house. (FYI, the red salsa could use a bit more heat though.) 3) Their Mexican rice is great -- it's pretty plain and doesn't have a lot in it, but it has a solid flavor. 4) The grilled chicken in the "light" section of the menu is some of the better grilled chicken anywhere -- and it's not the usual light on flavor that you see on many diet/light menus. 5) The service is attentive and genuinely Texas friendly. In short, this is one of the best options around Crosby, especially if you'd like to eat local. read more

Decent food BUT consistently bad service and THE hottest beer in Crosby. Kinda pricy too but what isn't these days.

So absolutely terrible service. Waitress Vanessa was a joke. Left every dirty glass and plate on the table the whole time. Manager even came to the table to tell me they didn't have what I ordered and said nothing about all the dirty plates on the table. Manager was rude. Talked to me like I was stupid. Basically all around bad experience. Food was alright though. Overpriced for what it is but alright. read more

We visited dear friends in Crosby and decided to get them lunch. I was not served in the restaurant, as I ordered take-out. I ordered a combo of beef/chicken fajitas. The Mexican rice is AMAZING. It reminds me of the kind I had as a child. Just yum. I do not do refried beans so I cannot speak to those. The fajitas were tasty and the flour tortillas were fresh as fresh can be. I was impressed with the green sauce. Very nice. We were given so many chips I think there is now a room dedicated to chip storage at my friend's house. Halley puppy sits up and begs for a piece of meat. read more

Hands down, the best Mexican food I've ever had. Its kinda easy to impress me. Being from NJ we dont have authentic Mexican food. I tried several different places around Texas and this was by far the best. The tacos are excellent, the fajitas are awesome, the green salsa is to die for, and the pina coladas are top notch. I really miss this place and hate that im so far away;. read more

Nope! Not impressed and yelp helped me decide. Lot of things I could say , but this comes to mind "eat at your own risk"

Had a better experience the last time I eat there, still have some room for improvement.

Food is pretty good, I like their fajita spud. Very filling! Decor inside is a little cheesy though. Definitely needs to be updated! read more

Server Jessica was great. Plus great background music. Plus great margarita. Plus great green salsa. Plus great food. Bonus celebrating anniversary with my love. read more

Iguana Joes is a typical Tex-Mex joint where you can sit back and relax and enjoy a decent meal - just don't expect anything fancy. The food is mostly frozen and reheated foods (at least it tastes that way for the majority of the menu items), but for some reason we keep coming back - and I may have to blame that on the convenience (and of course the green sauce). read more

The food here is alway good and the drinks very fresh and well made. It has smoking so I drive out from the Conroe area to Crosby just to enjoy my dinner fully! Chips and salsa are great and the green dip is creamy and full of calories. Just the way I like it. Crowds seem less uptight as does the wait staff. Prices are great you can get out less than 10 per person in a pinch or go up to around 25 per if you splurge. I did get some bad taquitos once in mont belview but they made it right and that's all I ask. I've been coming for years mostly for lunch and convinced the hubby to come due to the indoor gun range just down the street. We are going to shoot off our yummy lunch after! read more
