What Alfie Mercuri likes about Las Iguanas:
Arrived at restaurant and was seated in 2 minutes by a pleasant staff member. Chose our drinks which arrived within 5 minutes. We both chose the Mixed fajitas with curly fries and Sweet Potato Fries. The meals arrived and were well presented and freshly cooked, they were very tasty and filling. We were served by a waitress called Paige who was very attentive and friendly, nothing was too much bother for her. Al staff... View all feedback. What Paul DeMarco doesn't like about Las Iguanas:
Salsa and guacamole are not fresh (think doritos or Heinz and low in quality, which is a real shame. Great decor and staff more than helpful but the food is average at best. Our main dish was the sharing tacos platter, ok, ,the starter poppadoms(purple were dry and were not again fresh. Location excellent for George Street and the bars. Should be better...

Las Iguanas, located on George Street, is a popular Latin American restaurant in Edinburgh that offers a good selection of Tex Mex style food and a vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant has consistently received positive feedback over the years for its friendly staff and delicious food. While some reviewers praised the huge portions and affordable prices for cocktails, others appreciated the vegetarian and vegan options available. However, some diners mentioned issues with the layout of the restaurant, music volume, and food quality. Despite some mixed reviews, Las Iguanas seems to be a popular choice among locals and visitors alike, with many customers planning to return for more tasty food and refreshing cocktails.
