When I think about Mexican food, Plainfield isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind. However, this brightly painted lime green joint was packed on a Wednesday around 4:30 PM. Apparently this is when all of the local Boomers like to eat dinner--my mom included. We had to wait a while for the food because pretty much every seat was taken. Our server was very sweet, polite and patient. The food is good and priced reasonably. The menu is quite extensive too. I don't really have a complaints other than how busy it was but that's supposed to be a good sign right? I'm a little bit picky about Mexican food because I spent 35 years in LA. My mom agrees Iguanas is not the same as Ernie's Tacos in Eagle Rock but it's still good for Indiana. We had the enchiladas while reminiscing about California. read more

Food and Drink: I had Iguana's in Plainfield for lunch yesterday! Some coworkers mentioned there being a taco special on Thursdays so I had to check it out! I had 6 tacos (please don't judge haha): Shredded beef, grilled chicken, steak, carnita, chorizo, pastor. For $1-$2 you can't beat that!!! All of the tacos were hot and fresh, and I had soft corn tortillas with cilantro and onion for a street taco feel. Needless to say I left full and happy for the day and ate good for a few bucks! I also indulged in a SPIRIT-FREE margarita - specifically the Coconut/Pineapple which was refreshing (and safe for work hours!!) Customer Service: Our server was friendly and patient as we were a group of 6 ordering a little of everything. The crowd was somewhat light for the lunch hour so we got our food in a timely manner after ordering. Ambiance: This is a traditional mexican restaurant like others in the area and the decor is pretty common. With the taco special, I'm inclined to frequent more often, especially with the great service and casual atmosphere. This place is nice for lunch with friends or coworkers or even a dinner night with the family! read more

This was our favorite ever place to go and order from. Not anymore. Tonights order was our last event. We ordered choriqueso? 1/2 grease and had to continue paper towel straining. The Texas chimichangas are usually fantastic, bland too much red sauce, zero cheese and very old guacamole. Nothing tasted fresh. Not worth the expense. read more

Went for a fundraiser. Only planned drinks. Seated with chips and salsa. Unfortunately they were awful. Ordered a 16 oz margarita on the rocks. A friend a sangria. The atmosphere was rocking with lots of kids and families raising money for charity. The drinks came out quickly. The margarita was the worse margarita I've ever had in life. The mix was off. It was as approaching close, so told the waiter to take it back and not replace. The sangria was fine A donation was made to a local charity. They took the margarita off the bill. 2.5, rounding to a 3 with courteous staff. read more

Honestly the best tacos I've had in awhile. I ordered for delivery to work for lunch since I wanted to try something new. I had the 4 Little Amigos which are marinated chicken tacos with cheese, cilantro, purple cabbage, avocado, and chipotle sauce. The bright colors were so pretty but the tacos tasted even better than they looked! I also loved the black beans and rice as well. Everything was piping hot even after being delivered and was packaged well. I'll definitely be back! read more

my husband and I have been going to iguanas for years. we had a incident where the waitress set our food on another person's table and those people touched the food with their fingers before telling the waitress it wasn't theirs. she then picked the food up and walked over to table and handed us the food. I complained because other people had touched it. she said she would have it remade but she didn't because we watched. This happened 3 years ago and the other night we went in and our waiter told us we shouldn't come there because everyone hates us and noone wants to wait on us. This makes zero sense to br mad 3 years later. Never going back there and the food is subpar at best read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Wait staff was very attentive. We all loved the food we ordered. Priced well also.

The food was delicious, we were served by a very sweet girl in training and the other servers made sure everything was ordered correctly. The service was excellent. The ambiance was great, my daughter loved the decor and the music was at just the right volume to be enjoyable but not too loud. read more

Iguanas is a great lunch spot and I find myself here usually at least once a week. Service is quick and the food is great!

I like tacos. I eat tacos frequently. These are the best tacos I have ever had by far.

Delicious food and fast service. Plenty of seating and parking Great location! Never had a bad experience there read more

The food was immaculate and honestly delicious beyond belief the service was great with energy in joy clearly being shown in the work place. Only comment i have is there was child banging quite viciously on the bathroom door while i was washing my hands but the door didn't unlock until i was finished as the doors intended purpose so good quality bathroom doors. Would recommend to ANYBODY and EVERYBODY! read more

Solid Mexican food in Plainfield! Love the large outdoor seating, especially in warmer months. Service is always hit or miss. When the service is good, it is great. When it is off, it tends to be super off and slow. Chips and salsa always delicious. Favorite new birria quesadilla on the menu is now my go-to order! This is my favorite Mexican place in Plainfield! read more

I had lunch recently at Iguana's. What a disappointment. The service was poor and when the food finally arrived the portions were tiny although my chimichanga tasted fine. For some reason the utensils are presented in narrow plastic bags (no spoons), the chip basket was tiny, and the wooden holder storing the condiments was dirty with peeling paint. I will not be returning. read more

This has been the go to spot for my family whenever we are craving Mexican food! Our experiences prior have always been good but this time that was not the case. When we walked in, we were quickly seated. We all ordered our usual and the service was good but we felt that we were being rushed the entire time during dinner. We had come here with a friend so we wanted to enjoy the dinner and conversation but the waiter kept coming back to see if we were done. Our entire dinner lasted only 45 minutes and we left as we were rushed, but it was not a pleasant experience. I am also pretty sure they had overcharged us when I received the bill at the end but I was too annoyed and wanted to leave. read more

Color me impressed to find very good Mexican food in Indianapolis. Having spent a lot of time in California and Texas eating Mexican food from high end places to food trucks to really divey joints opened until the wee hours of the morning, I can honestly say this was very good. My street tacos were legit and the side of chipotle type salsa was a nice touch. The proteins were tasty as was the corn tortillas. I also enjoyed a tamarind water - 32 oz - for about $3 so needless to say, I did not need a refill. Decor was what you would expect and service was adequate. We were fortunate to come during a non-peak time so it was fairly empty and we had the place to ourselves. If you need a fix, I can recommend Iguana's when in the area. read more

Absolutely cannot rave about Iguanas enough. The portion sizes are SO big for great prices and there's not one part of the meals that I haven't liked or found satisfactory. Amazing service always. Even had a free shot one time! Get the flautas! You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been eyeing Iguana's since moving to this area. It did not disappoint. Quick service, friendly patrons and rich food. The restaurant was clearly created with a lot of love and features many decorations from kids and the community. It's a very functional space and you can feel the love when you're here. We also happened to wonder in on Senior Wednesday (which is 50% off, I'm wishing I was older now)! With regard to the food -- One patron recommended their blue-lime margarita which was lovely. If you're a margarita fan, or generally a fan of a few mixed drinks, they pour them strong! The chimichangas and queso was excellent. You can't ask for more from a restaurant. They keep the chips and salsa stocked at your table, too. Iguanas always looks to draw in a decent crowd when I drive by. I can't recommend this place more. Thank you, Iguana team! read more

Not my first time here. The food is always good and the wait staff are always kind and courteous. Tonight. Tonight I tried something new. The four amigos tacos. Holy mother of goodness. They were the best tacos I've ever consumed. Highly highly recommend. Just order them, consume them and thank me later. read more

Fun decor and yummy food! Vegans should try the Vegetarian Fahita Dinner w/sauted vegetables, great guacamole, salad, refried beans, and Spanish rice. Service is excellent, and prices quite reasonable. Super secial seniors' night on Wednesday. Don't forget the margueritas, many varieties, regular or Shirley Temple style. Come as you are -- leave stuffed! read more

I stopped in Iguana's for lunch after an appointment close by. Parking is convenient in front of the restaurant with several handicap spaces close to the entrance and a double door entrance. The lunch menu is served from 11:00 - 3:00 Monday through Saturday. Since it was after 1:00 most of the lunch crowd had come and gone. With the layout of the restaurant I felt like I was the only customer but I wasn't. As you enter there are dining areas to the left or right and I was escorted to one of the small 2-top booths off to the side. There are many 4-top booths and tables and they can handle large groups. I ordered 2 pork burritos with refried beans from the lunch menu which was only $7.95. The burritos were stuffed with shredded pork, melted cheese, Ranchero sauce and pico de gallo. They were very filling and good. I would order again. If you are a Flan lover like I am you must try the Flan. It was creamy, excellent texture with lots of sauce an truly one of the best I've had. The menu offers all the standard items from Quesadillas, Salads, Seafood and Chicken dishes, several Enchiladas, Chimichangas, many grilled dinners including BBQ Ribs, Carne Asada, Chili Colorado, Carnitas to Molcajete Acapulco. Refried beans, black beans or charro beans are served all day. They also offer a very affordable kids menu as well as a few vegetarian entrees. If you enjoy margaritas you have the option of 10 house flavors plus six seasonal flavors in a 16 oz. ($4.95) or 27 oz. glass ($7.95) or a Pitcher ($15.95). Several speciality cocktails are available as well for $5.95. For the beer drinkers your selection runs from domestic, imported and draft beers. They offer 50% off an entree every Wednesday for seniors 55 or older. My server was excellent, very professional, friendly and checked on me several times. No complaints at all. If you're in the Plainfield vicinity stop by. Just look for the lime green building behind the Main Street Speedway gas station sitting on Dan Jones Road. read more

Food was delicious! Huge hot plates full of flavor and the margaritas are ice cold. Salsa was perfectly spiced, chips were warm. I will definitely be back again. Our waiter was also very on top of everything we needed. read more

Great lunch deals for around $6 until 3 pm. The drinks are reasonable with a large variety. The staff are super friendly and always remembers us. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant in Plainfield hands down. Here again we love this place. Love the drink specials, a lot to choose from. They have an extensive list of Margarita flavors to chose from. They have added some new menu items that sound delicious and have all the traditional Mexican fare you expect. They are open for dine in at carry out. read more

We go here every Friday. This is the best Mexican place ever. CHEAP GREAT SERVICE AND THE BEST FOOD EVER. It also looks great. Good deals.

Iguana's is where my family typically orders Mexican takeout. We always get our order fast and fresh. My favorite thing to order now is the quesabirrias, as it's newer to the menu. It's a no frills, to the point restaurant that consistently serves up good food! read more

This restaurant is amazing. Always great food at low prices. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I come here with my girlfriend every time we're in town. read more

So we went to the one in Plainfield today since they're open now for 50% capacity. I've been stopping by for carry out for chips and salsa over the last month at both locations. The chips and salsa were great as usual and I think the chips were the best ones I've had so far! Service was fine pretty much since it's only 50% allowed, but I think they have less staff too so you have to equate for that. I must say that the drinks we got though were sub par, and probably the worst pineapple coconut margherita I've ever had. Tasted totally watered down and had hardly any flavor. The ones at the Brownsburg location are way WAY better. Needless to say, I will probably be sticking to my local Brownsburg Iguanas from now on!! read more

So being a California girl we were so nervous to find a place with good Mexican food. Welp we found it! Being vegan there are several things you can tweak to make this place a hit. I went for the large tortilla plain bean burrito, topped with a red sauce. Not only am I still full but, it was as authentic to Cali as I have found yet. No tex-mex here. The margaritas are amazing, being that I can't consume sweet and sour they made a skinny margarita that was delightful. Fresh fruit inside.... (which I will say hold off on next time because the seeds) but, still top notch. We will return with the kiddos next time! Thanks Iguana's for taking us back to Cali for a delicious read more

This is a neat little Mexican restaurant that is kind of hidden from the main road (by a gas station) so it's not too busy. That's cool with me because the food and margaritas are actually pretty good. And they have a nice outdoor seating area too. read more

Oh little lizard, how I love thee... and your watermelon margaritas... I swear the is the mostest margarita you can get for $5.95... And so many flavors to choose from. Too bad I can only drink one, and so I generally stick with my favorite: the watermelon version. The drink specials here make me wish I had more tolerance build up, but alas... Anyways, besides the awesome cheap booze, they also serve food. Typical stuff you would see in the Mexican spots around town. Anything I had so far was always delicious and plenty of food. Very reasonable priced also. Generally the service is good and you are seated fairly quickly. read more

The parking lot is always jam packed when I drive by but tonight I was able slide into spot no problem. This was my first time here and the food was really good ! We were greeted by friendly staff and we were brought chips and salsa right away and our waiter was ready to get our drinks started. The food came out in less than 5 mins! I had the 3 taco combo(steak, pork, & chicken). The chicken was in little strips and very tender and flavorful. The pork had little bits of pineapple whichbI really like and the steak was, well, steak. The tacos overlapped each other which left half of my tortilla soaking in pork juices. They only use one corn tortilla per taco which was fine except the one that was soaking in pork juice. They have a lot of choices as well with a 9 page menu! The decor is bright and vibrant and the staff was very friendly. They do have another location in Brownsburg as well. I'd definitely go back! read more

I don't know how this place gets business. The menus were filthy, the tables were filthy, the salt shaker had dried salsa all over it. Our orders were messed up. I had to ask a different server to check on our drinks because they hadn't came and our server had been out in our area a few times since we ordered them... when we asked that server he didn't even say "let me check" he just walked in the restaurant..... Anyway, I do not recommend. It has to be pretty disappointing for me to write a negative review. And well... here I am. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant! Staff and food are always good! I strongly recommend their choriqueso! It's the best!

We ordered the food for delivery via UberEats, just for context. The food tasted good, but their to-go/delivery packaging could be better. Everything is a little slopped together, and the tostadas (should be a crispy corn tortilla shell base with toppings) were thrown in with the other plate items (beans, enchiladas, etc.) so arrived a bit soggy. But overall, was good and I'd order from there again. read more

Solid Mexican food offerings. The carnitas soft tacos were wonderful even if it's in the greasy side. You have to ask them for the spicy salsa that comes with the tortilla chips otherwise it's the standard bland salsa offering. But the real reason I go there is for their agua fresca pineapple. Yums. read more
