    The Iguana Restaurant was perfect! It was a beautiful building. The food, drinks, and servers were all the best. The mariachi band were so entertaining. We will go back for sure.

    Music or noise from adjacent church was obnoxious during first part of meal. Ultimately Iguana mariachi group performed and was quite good.

    So romantic and tasty. Be sure to try the squash blossoms and short ribs dishes. Very delicate and flavorful.
