Iguana Bar & Grill Review

Colorfully decorated and always buzzing with activity as an expat hang-out, reservations should be made for lunch or dinner. Opened in 1997, Iguana attracts those who have cravings for Mexican food, although this is closer to Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican. Over the years, the quality of the food has sometimes faltered, but it comes through in a pinch. It is family-friendly, but families with young children should go in the earlier hours. The decor includes old Mexican posters and Diego Rivera reproductions. The menu consists of Mexican classics, including a selection of quesadillas, chilis, fajitas, burritos, and enchiladas. Jenö's Quesadilla is my favorite, but I opted for the enchiladas de mole and was disappointed. (I forgot to read my review from the last time.) The sauce was overly thick and did not have much flavor, so stick with other choices. Enchiladas with especiale sauce usually get rave reviews. An ample selection of vegetarian dishes offered will not make anyone feel left out. There are special parties for Mexican holidays. Friday and Saturday, the kitchen is open until midnight.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
