    Absolutely beautiful place for a special evening. I felt the ghost of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard burton, it was sort of an out of body experience. Regardless if you have some extra pesos in your pocket, I really do suggest eating here. Ambiance, architecture, the vista, the waiters and of course la comida, todos fueron maraviosas!

    My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday and we had the best evening ever! The ambience was incredible, the view was beautiful, the service was attentive and warm, and the food was delicious. It’s pretty expensive but well worth it for the experience.

    Food and atmosphere was on point as always. Our Server was pushing and rushed us even though there were several open tables. There was a table of very intoxicated and very loud men that made it impossible to hear the person next to me. Meanwhile group of four staff standing there not managing that group. It was a different experience than what I have had in the past.

    We had a great experience. The food was excellent and the tempo and service was perfect. We enjoyed a nice meal until ... Let me explain. While there is a dress code it should also ask folks to refrain from using "excessive" perfumes or colognes. Two gentleman entered and sat near us and the scent of their cologne gave me a headache and it was so strong you could almost taste it. It ruined the perfection of the evening.

    I truly enjoyed the food. Nothing was too hot to eat. The spices and peppers were used to add flavor. I enjoyed the ambiance and the waiters were all pleasant and willing to share their knowledge of the meal components. I will go again when I return next June.

    The place is beautiful and iconic. My wife and I arrived and were greeted and show up on to our table. As one chair was not facing the view, the we asked for it to be moved to the side with a view. Waiter went on to clear another table late in the day where no others were sat. Did not help with the request. Dropped the food on the ya le and never checked back for food or drink. Passed our table 4x on the way to another table of 4. Waiter was ip at the bar chatting with his colleges all night so tip was minimal. after telling him the % and completing the purchase, he said he just turned and left, and said nothimg. We get better service at the local taco stand, along with a smile.

    Eating at The Iguana was a fine dining experience. The venue is stunning! I just kept looking around as it was truly breathtaking- from the fountain in the courtyard, to the chandeliers, to the crown moulding. The service was great- the waiter was very attentive. He recommended the mango or cucumber-line margarita. I got the latter and it did not disappoint! The meal was well-paced and I didn’t feel rushed. For an appetizer I got the Stuffed Squash Blossoms- they were filled with ricotta, on a bed of fried panela cheese. Mmmm! For the main course I got the crab tacos- also very good. I didn’t think I had room for dessert, but I ordered the Chocolate Tart- it’s made with caramelized hazelnuts and has blueberries on the side. I savored every.single.bite. After dinner I took a closer look at the courtyard, as the restaurant is part of Casa Kimberly, which is a hotel. If you’re looking to treat yourself to a beautiful night out with what I call white-glove service, this is the place!!

    This was the second time i have been here for dinner. The first time was with a large group and the service and quality was amazing then. Today was 2 of us and we had a lovely time- the pulpo appetizer was beautifully served and prepared. We had the crab tacos and the Chile relleno which both dishes were outstanding. Flavor profiles were spot on and just the right portions to leave room for dessert. We had the chocolate torte which perfectly ended the dinner. I had the pana cotta previously which was stunning. Give yourself time to meander through the courtyard, take in the vistas and thoroughly enjoy yourself.
