    Stopped in to get away from the weekend crowds and found a great place to have a meal and drinks. A lot of restaurants tend to seat diners in the same area but this place actually kept the different parties as far apart as possible. They let us enjoy our drinks and meal and didn’t rush us out of there. It was wonderful way to decompress. Food was delicious and the staff was attentive.

  • Review 2 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 4)

    The fajitas are good! This restaurant is really a 3.5 in my opinion because the prices reflect the tourist/Broadway show crowd of the area. It’s fun though and good for large groups. There is also Latin dancing on Thursdays and weekends.

  • Review 3 (2019-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent place for some appetizers and drinks when out late in NYC. The restaurant has the usual Mexican fare and the prices arent bad at all for the area. They make a good guacamole and an even better mojito. Service was good and they even have a dance club area upstairs if you like that sort of thing.

    Recently ate here prior to seeing a show at Studio 54.I was impressed by the food - flavorful and prepared to perfection.Staff was polite and professional.I recommend this place. I will be back

    Call them to make your reservation first. Good service for a Friday night. A lot of empty tables on this Friday night but a nice atmosphere. The food was good. We started with Chips and Salsa which was $8. I ordered the Chicken fajita which was good. My son had the chicken quesadilla and the portions were small. Good service and a nice atmosphere. $120 for 3 of us to eat. Nice place to visit at least once.

    The place is amazing, and the DJ was so good ,he took song requests and put a lot of good music from bachata,merengue, to salsa.The dance floor is huge,so if you want to dance this is the place to do so.

  • Review 7 (2024-03-02 - Rating: 4)

    The appetizers and drinks were okay. The atmosphere was dead. The place is spiraling down. So sorry because they have potential.

  • Review 8 (2017-12-07 - Rating: 4)

    Good food and buss staff alway clearing plates and refilling drinks. The waiter service was a little slow. The mariachi band was a nice added bonus.

  • Review 9 (2018-06-02 - Rating: 4)

    I was suprised to see some interesting things on this menu. I ordered chorizo taquitos and chalupitas stuffed with shrimp and crabmeat. As you can see taquitos and chalupitas look exactly the same. This place is rated $$ but if u ask me it is $$$. Every appetizer was $15 on average and each entree $25. The shrimp and crabmeat chalupitas were good. And so were the chorizo taquitos. Served HOT and flavorful. The restaurant is large and can be a bit noisy but to me all that means is that people are enjoying themselves. 😉

    Fun, loud place for large groups. Two dance floors & Mariachis during dinner. It was a blast for our Holiday Dinner!!!

    Great drinks, strong and flavorful. Food was great too, happy hour specials are plentiful and tasty. Will definitely return.

    A most pleasant Tex-Mex place around the corner from the Ed Sullivan theatre. Great happy hour. Amazing margaritas. Mexican beer on tap. Good a/c.

  • Review 14 (2024-01-19 - Rating: 5)

    We use to go here in the early 2000s cause they always played really great music. It was a millennial dream to go back and dance to some of the hip hop and dance hall that was popular at that time. We had a lot of fun; we haven’t danced like that in ages! Highly recommend

  • Review 15 (2021-11-07 - Rating: 4)

    Food was perfectly cook, i love that they make you the guacamole right there in front of you. Jose luis our server was awesome, excellent service. Food took a little longer than expected.The only bad thing was going upstairs they wanted to charge us 20 for each person after spending almost $800 Dlrs . Then they wanted us to spend $50 dlrs or more for each person upstairs. Dj his music and mixes horrible . But the food and the service in the restaurant awesome!! I will definitely come back!!

  • Review 17 (2019-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    The food and service are both very good. They also have salsa dance classes and bar with DJ on the other floor which is cool.

  • Review 18 (2017-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    5-stars for Vince Giordano. Iguana is VERY, VERY cool. One of the most visually awesome bars, physically, Ive ever seen. Service is pretty bad, to be honest. Dont expect to be waited on hand and foot. However, we really love the food and the atmosphere. Drinks are on-point too according to my wife. If youre there you have to get margaritas! But, theyre not for me. Scotch guy ;).If youre going for Vince, well youve made a hell-of-a choice. His band NEVER disappoints. They are absolutely incredible. Big-band tunes from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. They are worth every penny and this is their home. GO SEE THEM. Mondays and Tuesdays right here at the Iguana.

  • Review 19 (2019-11-26 - Rating: 4)

    The place was average it has a nice interior for this time of the season, the service was good the bartender was paying so much attention to us maybe bc we are not regulars so she focuses more in the group of people, I had to make eye contact so she should know I was ready for food or for a drink, she made good margaritas for my friend and the negra modelo on tap was good, we got steak quesadillas the came fast and they were good, I’ll come back again maybe the service can be improved a little bit more but good place.

  • Review 20 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place. The food is ok and depends on the day it gets super crowded. Great place to dance and have a good time. If you go to the bar upstairs, Florentino the bartender will take care of you.It’s sad to know they will be closing in May 2024, since the owners sold the building last month 😥

  • Review 21 (2022-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely restaurant, nice decor, delicious food and great service.The basement level is a lounge or club of some sort. It looks like a lot of fun.Well definitely be back!

    I liked the place. It had great ambience and the food tasted great and the waitresses were fun.

  • Review 23 (2023-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    I loved every movement of being in the restaurant. Music excites you. Staff are warm and friendly. Bartender is very knowledgeable of drinks. I wanted strong but sweet and thats what I got. There is a club atmosphere down stairs. The BEST part is the waiter in the back. Oscar and (I forget at the moment). But their services makes you feel like eating with friends and family. Wonderful place.

  • Review 24 (2017-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Iguana makes one of the best Guacamole. The prices is affordable base on the location of the restaurant. However the food servings are small portions. Some of the workers needs to learn how to be pleasant especially the waitress. Other than that the food was great.

  • Review 32 (2021-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent atmosphere, food and service! Will definitely go back again!

  • Review 33 (2023-03-30 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty fun, a bit high price to pay for a dance floor and extra for item checks. Need some circulating air upstairs. Security should usher the creepy staring guys somewhere else, like to the bar downstairs.

  • Review 34 (2019-09-13 - Rating: 4)

    Good environment. We went to celebrate birthday party and I enjoyed the layout and the concepts the bars and dancing areas. Good music and a good time. That said, I find that the food is insanely over priced for someone who likes value for their money I dont think Ill come back for the food. This may also have been an isolated incident but out party was there until closing time up until they were still selling drinks but when closing time came the security guard was pushing all the patrons to finish their drinks so that he could go home. That was kind of a bummer but I wouldnt judge this place by the actions of the one security guard.

  • Review 35 (2023-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best thing in a Restaurant is a Customer service. This place has the best waiter (José Luis) in town from whom we received friendly and respectful service, with full knowledge of the menu, he made us feel comfortable and our trip. I recommend this place and especially the service and attention of José Luis.

  • Review 36 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food and drink from start to finish! Great atmosphere and music, and friendly staff too. Their Mojitos are some of the best Ive have. The salsa with chips while you wait if so fresh and tasty. We had the burrito and the half chicken and both were cooked to perfection (the chicken is cooked fresh so will take a while.....maybe not one to order if you are in a rush)

  • Review 37 (2022-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    This is a hidden Gem on 54th. The food is fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is great (especially if youre coming late enough for the dance club) and the drinks are generous. Carlos and Juan manage this place and you couldnt have two better guys to take care of you. Do yourself a favor and order the guacamole so it can be prepared fresh table-side for you! We visit here every time we are in Manhattan and love it every time.

  • Review 38 (2020-01-07 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place.. nice vibe. Really liked the holiday decor and the holiday atmosphere. The restaurant was brimming with happy faces when we dined Friday evening.A wide range of cocktails to choose from - really enjoyed their cocktails.Food was average. Not too great. The quantity of food servings were very less. For the cost they charge us, they can certainly give more quantities.We explored both the nightclubs at around 10. Not any vibe as such. Hardly a handful of people - Just a few people dancing to themselves. May be it gets better later in the night.

  • Review 39 (2023-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    Update: My 2019 experiences werent as great, unfortunately - I decided to organize a few events there, and while management was nice, they were disorganized+ -- their a/c broke 2 days before our event in July, wasnt fixed, and they didnt solve the problem or tell us ahead of time?!? Another time, we negotiated for a dance instructor and DJ -- the DJ didnt show, and the dance lesson started an hour late. Also, the food became flavorless.Its convenient, ok for tourists - great atmosphere, but the rest... meh. 2018 5 stars => 2019 & 2020 3 stars======2018I came with a group of 15 people, and we loved the free dance lesson (Carmen,the instructor was great, and shes adorable). Of course, we also enjoyed the happy hour, appetizers, and the dancing afterwards. A great evening, whether early or late!

    Service was on point ✨️ we split a chicken quesadilla and it was absolutely perfect. Hubby had the house wine which was decilious and i had a mixed drink from their menu. Would deff recommend and we will be back.

    Good attention, professional and courteous, amazing dance areas, actually 2 different floors with different experiences, love this place, the bar area is my favorite, ask for Miriam she will go that extra mile to make you feel welcome.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!Never had a bad item here to date.They make the guacamole in front of you, right from the avocado...lol. The staff is friendly, the wings are great & THE FROZEN COCONUT & MANGO MARGARITA???? 🙌 Divine & not light on the alco! Good value for money.

  • Review 44 (2021-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    The food was excellent! Steak was cooked to perfection (medium) in my enchilada & was abundant. The sides were great and the street corn was delicious. Drinks were good, a little on the stronger side. Staff was very friendly & helpful.

  • Review 45 (2024-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    Music was good (bachata, salsa reggaeton). Good crowd, staff was friendly and helpful.Would definitely go again.

  • Review 46 (2022-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    Recently stopped by on a Sunday and it was empty which was great, all staff were wearing masks & they had hand sanitizer available as well... Only had a few drinks so cant speak to the food however Sunshine was an awesome bartender. Its been so long since Ive sat somewhere for a few drinks & it was nice to feel comfortable & safe enough to do so...

  • Review 47 (2021-11-24 - Rating: 4)

    Ive been to the dance floor. Most of the time the music is good. The floor needs a lot of improvement. It is worn and uneven in some areas wich creates difficulties and even danger for dancers. That issue also reduce the dance area as dancers try to avoid those spots.

  • Review 48 (2018-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Drinks are delicious! I hadMargaritas, a variety of flavors. Passion fruit was the best. Guacamole was delicious! Latin dance floor is a lot of fun. The other dance floor is fun too, not as busy. So that can be good or bad depending on your preference. Didnt try any other foods. Was there for the dancing

  • Review 49 (2021-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious, quick, comfy, atmospheric, and very kind staff. Right across from our hotel, was worth the price. The portions are generous with deliciously perfectly cooked steak. Thanks for a great time! Juan was wonderful and timely

  • Review 50 (2022-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    Perhaps they were just low staffed the night we went, so maybe thats something to keep in mind as you read my review, but heres my experience with the service: it took a very long time for a waiter to come to us. Several of us had to repeat our order several times before the waiter understood it. After a very long time, our food and drinks finally came out, and several of them were wrong. He seemed kind of irritated at us, and then laughed at the request to split checks..The food was good with the exception of the pastel from the appetizer menu. Most of it was greens!The quesadilla mexicana was a big yes for us though.They have a long list of flavors that you can get in a mojito or margarita. I got a green apple mojito but I have to say I didnt really taste much of the apple.

  • Review 51 (2019-01-19 - Rating: 4)

    The food was delicious, and the dance floors were very nicely protected which I liked. The food can be some what pricey but the portions are fair. If it is only two people I would recommend the Iguana Nachos and a main dish if you want to leave space for alcoholic beverages. Trust me the food portions are fair to make you full.

  • Review 52 (2018-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Superb Fiesta atmosphere every visit. Wonderful food, great fun servers, excellent, honest drinks and mariachis. The bar, too, is superb. The very best, fun, too noisy Mexican in mid-town and maybe the world. Super table-side prepared guacamole to your taste and mountainous nachos, too.

  • Review 53 (2014-03-08 - Rating: 4)

    I am a very big fan of the decor. The artwork on the walls is very nice, and the ambiance is magnificent. Personally I found the lighting a bit dark; then again, Im very used to much brighter lighting at work and home. The drinks are also delicious, especially their Whiskey Sours (which is one of my preferred drinks of choice). I didnt have a chance to sample their food, but I cant imagine anyone could go there and not be dissatisfied, especially if theyre in the mood for Mexican. Im also a big fan of the location; its close to several subways, as well as Times Square. I can meet a few friends for dinner and drinks here, then head downtown to take in the sights.

    Great experience we had to wait a little bit for the table even though we made a reservation but it all worked out .the food was good !the appetizers were amazing. We all went to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday they had mariachi that song happy birthday for her...and upstairs in the restaurant they had a nightclub which was also really good Great place to have some fun... at all times we felt very safe. Definitely recommend the spot all in one food,drinks and dancing.

  • Review 55 (2018-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    Omg wow!! I just absolutely loved this place the food is delicious and fresh. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful. The prices are a bit high, but it is expected in that neck of the woods. Definitely worth a pretty penny. The club is also great, the music and crowd is fun and pumped. After dinner we danced all night! Definitely a place I would visit again.

    I go here for Salsa dancing on Thursdays when they have the La Clave event organized by Joel Salsa. The dancing takes place upstairs, sometimes they have live bands. I really like the atmosphere, its like a club but with two decent sized dance floors and a long bar connecting both. The bartenders are attentive, prices are what they are in midtown, its not cheap. The crowd for salsa is really all ages and very welcoming. You can sit by the bar and watch the great dancers or take a class in the beginning if you are new to salsa.

  • Review 58 (2014-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    Food: The food was amazing. The portions are large and there was so much food leftover. Their drinks are definitely worth checking out.Service: Very quick. We went in thinking that our wait would be well over 30 mins but they were able to squeeze us in within 5 minutes.Cost: Very reasonableWould I go back: Absolutely.

  • Review 59 (2017-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    I work upstairs, in the adjacent building so its great to stop by for a quick bite before work or a refreshing cocktail after Ive completed my days tasks. The music and guest service are great and I love it in here!PS. Get the wings! Theyre great!

  • Review 60 (2018-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite place to go for Mexican food and salsa dancing. Always ordering fresh guacamole. yummy!!!! The cook preparing it right in front of our table!! The drinks are amazing! Margarita’s choice on every choice and mood!, love it! Trying to make it after Broadway shows with friends!! Highly recommend.

    Went at 10:30 am, Sat, was the only one there and ordered the breakfast burrito... Wow awesome. I great server, friendly hostess and terrific bar tender. I rate it five stars because I wanted-for-not during and after my meal.

  • Review 62 (2014-03-13 - Rating: 4)

    I attended Iguana for a Google event. I did enjoy the setup and layout. Im gluten sensitive so I didnt get to try much of the food. However, the first floor seemed nice and classy for a great dinner for business or personal dates.The second floor where the event took place was nicely spaced out. You had a back area where there was a live band and a standing room or dance floor in front of it.Near the staircase, there was a spacious area for those who just wanted to mellow out and chat.I would like to revisit this place and have dinner with friends on the first floor. The staff was courteous and I would like to revisit.The Google+ event gets a +1 for me! I got to meet a few new folks, play around in the photo booth, and watch the live band play. Overall, it was a nice night.Insider tip, for those who are google+ fanatics like me, go ahead and turn on party mode at the event you RSVP. It automatically uplaods photos you take into your Google+ events page. Win win for all! Go Google+! This is a more interpersonal approach than Yelp. Its a smart way to have folks visit areas across NYC, bring local businesses some foot traffic, and have everyone use Google+ for social and business.

  • Review 63 (2021-06-21 - Rating: 4)

    Went their the other night to celebrate my birthday and the staff was very nice and accommodating to my small group and I. The food was delicious and fresh and the drinks are HARD!! The mango mojito was so delicious and the passionfruit frozen margarita almost put my friend to sleep it hit her so hard lol. The only reason I gave it four stars is because after we spent almost $500 on dinner and cake cutting fees. They wanted us to pay for the upstairs dance area $20 per person. When before the pandemic it was free. Ummmm no!

  • Review 64 (2018-12-24 - Rating: 4)

    Made a reservation through the Google listing with Open Table. Arrived at said time and the host looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. Waited in the bar for only five mins before being seated though. Drink orders where taken but forgotten. The manager stopped by to ask about our drinks and brought them immediatley. Drinks were large and strong. Food arrived quickly thereafter. The Guacamole was made fresh at our table. The stacked steak enchiladas were fantastic as were the beef burritos. Half way through the meal the manager came back with two more drinks on the house. Needless to say, we were stuffed. Great lively atmosphere with a Mariachi band. Pricing is $$ to $$$.

  • Review 65 (2019-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere, waiters and waitresses always ready to help n accommodate you for anything and theres a mariachi band playing while you eat. There are also dancing floors upstairs and downstairs depending on the day so theres everything for everyone.

    As I was waiting by the hostess stand to be seated, she went around me to speak to the white people behind me. When I interrupted to not that I was waiting first and arrived prior to them, she got frazzled and walked off. I had to wait for another staff member who observed the interaction to be serviced.

  • Review 72 (2013-03-20 - Rating: 4)

    The service here isnt excellent, but I was there on Cinco de Mayo so they might have been super busy. Theres lots of great Mexican cuisine and drinks. They have a dance floor underneath and a separate room upstairs, so its very spacious. Theres lots of dancing and lots of different stuff going on cause there are so many different parts of the restaurant. A fun place to go to, but lots of loud music.

  • Review 73 (2019-02-15 - Rating: 4)

    Drinks are top dollar. Music is a little too loud. Place could be cleaner. But what really matters. Music is good. The vive is good. Top floor costs extra. Coat check is in basement.

    Best Mojito I had in a long time. Great service outside and out of the sun, thanks Carlo. Food was good and plentiful. Went for lunch before seeing play at Studio 54 (50 feet down the block) and will definitely return.

  • Review 75 (2014-03-09 - Rating: 5)

    Iguanas is great! I went here for the first time for an event last week. The service was really nice. Its important to have good costumer service but whats even more important is the food! You cant have great costumer service and terrible food. That is NOT the case at Iguana. Their food was great! Especially the quesadillas! They were mouth watering! Just thinking about them makes me want a plate! The restaurant was also really clean which is a plus! It is very spacious as well. The event I went to was upstairs. I really enjoyed my experience here and would go back again!

  • Review 76 (2018-03-02 - Rating: 4)

    Im not Quite sure I will describe this as a Mexican restaurant. Its more like a Tex- Mex meal option. They do have open bar I believe for 2 hours, not a bad deal. We came on a bday celebration, the service was definitely amazing, they always made sure we had everything that we needed. They have some sort of singers that walk around the tables trying to sing for you. A good place to finish the night after dinner you can go on the 1st floor or second floor and have the night club experience. Not a good place for young kids they ID at the door. A good Place to hang out with friends.

    Omg! Where to begin... The food is BEYOND DELICIOUS 🤤🤤🤤 I wish this place was on LI because I would eat here all the time. The service was fantastic. The drinks were on point and again the food was sooooo good. Guacamole made FRESH at your table and made to your liking. There’s even a club downstairs and a nice size bar. Seriously a great place to go for great food and dancing. Will DEFINITELY be returning.

    Always a good time. The place is loud so forget about answering your phone. Fresh guacamole at your table and 29 flavors of Margarita, what else could you want? The food is great. Love the coconut shrimp and the chalupitas.

    Love the decor. Food is delicious. Great place for dancing, 2 floors. Really enjoyed the music and vibe of Iguanas. Friendly staff. We visited 3 times while in NY.

    I had a great time here for the DISCO LIVES! party on a Wednesday night. This is a very unique place for NYC as it is BIG. The people were so nice, the drinks were strong, the bartenders were quick and the guac was amazing. The whole vibe of the place was just fun.

    Fantastic food, drinks, service and ambiance. What more can you say. We eat here on the fist night as it was the nearest restaurant to our hotel and turned out to be the best in the area that we tried. Big choice of food and drinks with some twists on the standard Mexican cuisine. Definitely recommend the Margarita Iguana drink :)

    Came here late night after my bday party one Friday night in early September and it was a perfect place to close out the festivities. Drinks were overflowing and downstairs there was a dancefloor for those who wanted to keep going. I think nachos were involved and those hit the spot too. Look forward to going back soon.

    Great time meeting with my best friend.

  • Review 87 (2017-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    This is a good spot for dancing a on weekend nights. The top floor has Latin music and the bottom floor has top 40/hip hop type music. The cover isnt to much and there usually isnt a line.

  • Review 88 (2019-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    The food was great, the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the pre/post theater pre fix menu which included taquitos, an entree, and a dessert. I chose the medium rate steak fajitas which were cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable in what flavors of margherita would pair with our choice in entree. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who likes good food, good drinks, and great atmosphere.

    We went to hear Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. They NEVER disappoint. They were really wonderful. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food and service were, too. We will definitely go back. For Vince AND the food.

    Great downstairs bar & dance floor for after work happy hours. We followed the dress code, but very few others did (lots of jeans), so I think theyre pretty flexible with it.

  • Review 91 (2019-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Partially great food nice room decoration. Prices are quite high. Look for special menus. The Margaritas are great... One of the few NY places that is still what was for years.....

  • Review 92 (2019-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    I only had some apps at the bar and some drinks...decent price and service. Went downstairs to do a little dancing, the crowd was great...no issues, everyone having a good time doing their thing. Coat check was a joke...$3 per item (had to pay for my umbrella separately...really?) Other than that waste, a great night all around 💃🍸

  • Review 94 (2023-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    The atmosphere is excellent for any occasion, the margaritas are the best part, be prepared to go to bed early after a few margaritas.

  • Review 95 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    Has a club downstairs which is fun but if you show up earlier bring an Aux cause no DJ till later

  • Review 96 (2011-08-31 - Rating: 4)

    Ive been here on a few occasions: after-work happy hour, lunch, marg-ups and dinner. Its decent, but I feel like its a bit more expensive than I would like.But, I do LOVE their mojitos, which they serve with actual sugar cane!

  • Review 100 (2018-09-15 - Rating: 4)

    This restaurant was right across from our hotel during a little vacation in New York. The food seemed authentic, but Im not the right person to judge that! The guacamole was made tableside and was delicious. I ordered chicken soft tacos and my husband had the red snapper. Both were absolutely delicious. I had two Iguana Lean drinks (only 75 calories each!) and they were strong but very good - I was glad I just had to walk across the street to my hotel! My husband had two Brosmopolitans, and he really enjoyed those too. If we are in that part of New York again, we will go back there again. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We were there fairly early for dinner considering it was a Saturday. Im sure it gets much more lively as I believe theres a club upstairs.

  • Review 101 (2020-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    I have only given a couple of Five stars. This place had good to more then good food. The drinks were correct and full of what you pay for while maintaining a great taste. The service was spot on, being attentive to the changes to the table while not being annoying. This would have deserved four stars, but the extra attention given by the staff pushed them over. Come for a good meal, bring people you want impress, bring families, bring a romantic prospect. Great place. Worth it.

  • Review 102 (2023-01-19 - Rating: 4)

    Food has changed over the years. The nachos and chicken quesadilla. It was ok but not as good as when first started going. Bartender is always friendly

  • Review 103 (2021-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Service was exceptionally awesome. My first visit to this location. Ive been to several others Woodland and San Jose CA but this location was my favorite. Coincidentally our server was from the bay area. We had a fantastic brunch!

  • Review 104 (2019-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to dance the night away 2nd floor was crowed for the latin music so we stayed the whole night in the lower level. It was awesome. Too bad we missed church the next day.

    Went -- at last minute -- to TxGvg dinner (really lunch at 2pm).Had a phenomenal experience all around: the restaurant is tastefully and completely decorated for CMas; waiters are attentive and entertaining (kids saw maguc tricks and got great light sticks); AND food was abundant and great. We ended up taking lots of turkey and pie to-go!We will go back for sure.

  • Review 107 (2017-06-04 - Rating: 4)

    Crowd of mixed age group. The music on both floors was goof enough to get you moving. Drinks a bit over priced, but I am used to Jersey prices. Lol, overall fun experience.

    I enjoyed this restaurant. The menu has all the Mexican staples. The ambiance of this location is very nice. There is also an upstairs which turns into a dance area which was fun.

  • Review 111 (2018-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Went on a Monday to see the “Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks” performance (they perform on mondays and tuesdays). What an incredible experience. This kind of concert and specially with this high quality is harder and harder to find. The concert is on a small room, Vince Giordano is a real showman and the band is incredible. A must go if you like jazz from the 20s and 30s. The food is good, delicious margaritas and service is ok.

  • Review 112 (2019-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    The food here is excellent and the service is outstanding. I would recommend this place. I had their chili and it was the best restaurant cho I have ever had. The salsa was very good as well.

    Well, Ive always been treated with respect, and have fun.I like dancing. Like everything else in life, sometimes better than others, Id say...generally... its a fun place.

  • Review 114 (2018-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    I went to see Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. Theres nothing else like this great band anywhere else. Iguanas second floor is the perfect place to see this band. Food and service at the Iguana is really good and prices are reasonable for Midtown. Great night of 1930s style jazz.

    Excellent place to go out for some afterhours dancing, drinks and latin music. Had fun having several tequila shooters and drinks as well as lots of dancing on the club level.
