I didn't realize how much I missed Mexican food, until our friends brought us to Iguanas…read more I grew up in Southern California which happens to border Mexico; hence the great multitude of Hispanics that reside there (Spanish is California's second most spoken language). I LOVE Mexican food! However, the "Mexican" food I grew up eating was actually Americanized Mexican food, and that's what you will find at Iguanas. Surprise, surprise the owner is American. Did I call that one or what?! When you walk in the door, you're met with lively Mexican music playing in the background. Feel free to seat yourself. Staff are wearing pretty embroidered blouses, speak English and greet you with "Hola" (Hello). They are friendly and hardworking. I TRIED: - Nachos - was topped with olives and pickled sliced jalapeño peppers served with spicy nacho cheese sauce on the side. The chips were thin and crispy. They tasted like they were made in house: a perfect start to our meal. - Mahi mahi was underwhelming: sauce on top didn't compliment it well, and the garlic chips were overpowering. - Beef Fajita - came with delicious Mexican rice, grilled onions and bell peppers and flour tortillas. This was served hot on a sizzling platter. Meat was tender; we enjoyed this dish. - Puerco (pork tenderloin) Vera Cruz - tasted awful, hubby thought it tasted fishy. I wouldn't recommend this. - Chicken Enchilada came with Mexican rice and refried beans - the sauce was lacking heat, as evidenced by the brown color (it should be red); but it was a tasty. Refried beans were on the runny side. Mexican rice was DELISH! - Shredded beef taco (a la carte) came with pico de gallo: I added their salsa instead. It was a good size and filled with tender beef YUMMY! - Iced tea was frothy, it was ok - Virgin Piña Colada - thick and frothy, it was decent Iguanas just relocated from their building on Don Juico Ave, so everything is brand spanking new. It's hard to miss, look for the bright yellow building on Fil-Am Friendship Hwy between the bridge and McDonalds. I love the vibrant colors of yellow, green and red that are used in their decor, makes for a photogenic background. If you look on top of the aircon units you can even grab Mexican hats to wear for your pictures. If you are chilled by their strong aircon, you can grab a serape (blanket) from the corner by the bathrooms. Food that sticks to your bones, good portions and reasonably priced OH YEAH! I can't believe we've finally found Mexican food here that reminds us of home. My tastebuds have been deprived for way too long, bring me one of everything on the menu!

I call myself a first world foodie to remind me that no matter how many stars align for my experiences, they are a million stars for some in this world. Save yourself and stop here. The huge drain pictured is where I came across a family of 6 Somalian refugees encamped just 2 days earlier. Eating, sleeping there. No amount of money I gave them was enough. It's since been roped off. So tonight, my meal was a million stars comparatively. From my Yelp perspective? 5 stars. These were some delicious, spicey Filipino/Korean seasoned crunchy tacos. Almost kimchi, almost adobo. Trust me, completely amazing. Curly fries reminded me of Arby's. The sweet tea, by Libertea. By itself would beat most teas in the south USA. Service, standard Pinoy, but that in itself is super dooper amazeballs. No way to describe it. Some put in 14 hr days $4 a shift. Basically .29 usd per/hr. Plus tips. Perspective. Take care folks. Find a charity to your liking. We're one world. If you can Yelp, please, you can help. Peace, and taco grease.

What they do well is large portions for a decent price. Plus it is in SM mall so nice and cool from A/C. The large Nachos was a huge portion and they had pickled jalapenos on it which is another hard to find item sometimes . The tacos come in small (20 and large (3). The tacos are very big. I would recommend the crunchy shell, even though I prefer soft shell. Their soft tortillas are very soft and fall apart so you end up eating your tacos with a fork. Like I mentioned no traditional Mexican served but a decent taste of Mexican food kind of like your mom would make if she wasn't Mexican.

Wifey had a Filipino fish breakfast. She also approved. We left very full! We plan to come back again and again. I think I'm stuck on the country fried steak and can't imagine ordering anything else... ever! The price was a little more than the average breakfast in town but it's definitely worth it. I wish I would have tried this place sooner. I had 4 other places in town I'd go to for breakfast. Not anymore. This place outshines them. Service is also very good. You are left alone to enjoy your meal. But with just a glance they will be at your table side and accommodate you. This is the closest I have felt to eating in a genuine American diner. low key.
