    I'm sorry but Las Iguanas is just not it. As an American, it did not offer familiar Mexican flavors…read morethat I was searching for. Unfortunately, the margaritas were made from such a sweet mix that it honestly tasted cheap. I doubt we would return as it just fell flat. Service was ok, my fajitas were dry and just lacked flavor. I think I just expected something so great and was left disappointed. Probably won't return.

    During my visit to Cambridge, I had the opportunity to visit this venue for lunch. At first glance,…read moreI thought it was ideally located along the riverbank. It had ample outdoor sitting where you could appreciate the scenery of nearby colleges. Upon entering the inside dining area, I enjoyed the colorful ambiance and centered bar. The entire place was well lit with plenty of sitting. The menu offered many choices to please anyone seeking something slightly different. The cuisine has influences from Spain to South America. For my lunch experience, I sample the lamb albodigas (meat balls), empanadas, focaccia bread with dipping sauces and nachos with guacamole. We were served by Gloria, who was an amazing server. She was funny, friendly and helpful. She made my kids (ages 4-7) feel at ease and welcomed. After my lunch experience, I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with kids. The place was clean and welcoming. It's menu is kid friendly. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

    We have visited Las Iguanas many times for meals, drinks before the cinema etc etc. On all of these…read moreoccasions I have been impressed by the service and the food and given high star ratings. Unfortunately, this time things went downhill. Not the service, which was exemplary. The food was, once again, of high standard. But........... I had booked, a number of weeks prior, a table for St. Valentines Day. The booking requested a £10 pp reservation fee to be paid. This I did by popping in one lunch time. No problem, they have to make sure of numbers, I assumed. On the evening we arrived and were shown to a tiny table. I asked if we could have a larger table or, preferably, a booth. I was told they were all reserved. I had booked about four weeks ago???? I will say that during the evening at least one couple arrived without a booking and were shown to a booth. The table was, as I say, tiny. OK if you were having a drink and a plate of food. We had fours cocktails, two plates and four tapas plates balanced on that table. Really did take the enjoyment away. I wont say what would happen if a couple ordered two fajitas meals. Impossible to eat it. An order for a specific cocktail was met by sorry we don't have any of ??????. Irish coffee, sorry we don't have any cream. Then when the bill arrived no where to be seen was the £20 deposit. When queried I was told it would be paid back onto my credit card used to pay it???? I paid cash. All in all a totally ruined St. Valentines evening. As the saying goes 'a bad day in the office'. However, it doesn't change my overall thoughts about Las Iguanas. We will be back but, on this occasion, two stars only for the service provided by the girls and the food delivered.

    Omg they are so good I wish they would start a chain in america so bad…read more they are beyond amazing the only thing that we have close to them is Bahama breeze and they cant even compare. Everything I legit had on the menu was amazing. I had the prawns, duck tacos sweet bbq wings , and the ribs platter, and caramel cake. Along with the buy one get one free alcoholic beverage it was amazing

    Tex-Mex style food in the east of England, it's not authentic, but then, what is? It's certainly…read morestyled like Mexican food, but I don't know of any Mexican place that does "Peri-Peri Snapper" or "Hawaiian Chicken." It's on the first floor ("second floor" in American) up a flight of stairs. I don't believe that they have a lift ("elevator") so if that's a requirement for you or someone in your dining party, consider another restaurant. There was a bunch of us that showed up without a reservation, so we got drinks and waited in an interesting sofa-equipped lounge area until our table was ready. It was quite odd to see Blue Moon and Coors Light on tap, so I had the first "Silver Bullet" in over a year. Yes, it tasted exactly the same as any that I've had back in the States. The Blue Moon did not have the usual slice of orange in it that's the norm when it's served in the US. For starters, I went with the chicken nachos. A huge portion with a large scoop of sour cream on top. Only a few jalapenos, but a good amount of chicken and cheese. It was good! For the main, I had something they called a Mexican Blanket. A large 12 inch tortilla folded with chicken and BBQ pork topped with cheese and ranchero sauce, served with a massive pile of salad and a large portion of rice. The portion was huge - as large as you could expect in any American restaurant. About halfway through, I gave up on trying to clean my plate and started digging through the thing for the meat bits. No dessert, but someone ordered a pitcher each of their regular and strawberry margaritas. I thought they were quite weak without enough tequila to taste and way too much sweetness. But maybe that's what they consider a margarita over here. Decent service, though somehow we ended up with a strange £100 charge for tacos on the bill. I don't know if this was accidental or our waiter was trying to pull a fast one with a large group. He took it right off when we pointed it out. I've been told it's a great place for lunch with a decent chicken chimichanga. Perhaps I'll try that next time.

    Being from the States and having tried my share of Tex-Mex (Texas, Florida, etc), I was pretty…read moreimpressed with this place. My husband and I gave it a go after seeing it on Google Maps when visiting the area. While the name seems something more fitting for a Caribbean style restaurant and some dishes weren't the norm for a typical Tex-Mex, this place is worth trying! I had them make me a chocolate and strawberry mixed shake, which was delicious! We tried the Jalapeño Poppers to start and they were okay. Not as spicy as I would have liked, but not horrible. I ate the Ultimate Nachos as a meal (it's an appetizer/starter) with the Cajun chicken and was relieved to find they tasted close to authentic Tex-Mex. There was just the right amount of ingredients and enough to share (I ended up taking some home). My husband tried their beef fajitas and they were surprisingly yummy. They marinated the beef differently than what we've had at a Mexican restaurant before, making it slightly sweet tasting, and came with quite a good amount of beef. It was actually a big enough portion that we could have shared, had we known in advance. Price wasn't too bad and waiting time was just right. Servers were attentive, helpful, and friendly. Not only will we be recommend this to our friends, we will definitely go back to try more of the tasty looking dishes.

    On my first visit to Milton Keynes, I was happy to discover a whole bunch of restaurants right…read morebehind my hotel. There were at least a dozen decent looking places. We looked at a few menus and settled on Las Iguanas with their Latin American offerings. The interior was nicely decorated with lots of bright colours and hanging strings of lights to give it a kinda outdoorsy patio look. They do have a very nice patio also but it was too cool to sit out there. I ordered half a rack of Havana Club & Jerk BBQ Glazed Pork Ribs (Fall off the bone individual pork ribs covered in a sticky rum glaze, topped with crispy onion & chilli) from their lunch menu, served with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. It was very good, just the right tenderness to release off the bone easily. Tasty. My three companions opted for a variety of appetizers, including chicken wings, quesadillas, and nachos. It was like tapas style. It was all very good. Their drink menu features Two-for-One cocktails all day so I tried the Rum Runner (Havana Club 3 Yr Rum, blackberry, banana, lime, pineapple, grenadine). It was good! Nobody else wanted a drink so I had them both. No problem! For dessert, we had the Creamy Caramel Cake, Coconut Ice Cream, and the Banana Empanada. Again, these did not disappoint. They were all very good. Good food and good service - that's what makes you come back. So we did. A week later, we made an unplanned trip to Milton Keynes, directly from Paris, to spend a few hours with a dear friend. We all agreed that we had to come back here for lunch. Again, we were not disappointed. This time, a friend and I ordered the Dominican Goat Curry (A spicy Dominican-style goat & scotch bonnet chilli curry with spring onion rice, fried plantain & pink pickled onions). It was very good but I have to say, it was one of the spiciest dishes I've ever had from a restaurant! HOT!!! Another friend had the ribs that I ordered the last time and our fourth diner went the appetizer/tapas route with wings and quesadillas. Despite all the choices within a few steps away, it was an easy decision to come back here. Again, tasty food and good service wins!

    Can't beat the best drinks and 2 for 1 happy hour all day!…read more Super fun location and an Awesome DJ
