Amazing food and great for a date night. Get tacos downstairs and dance bachata/reggeton as soon as you are done

It's been a while since my last visit most recently stopped by & figured might as well time to update. Happy to see that this place survived the pandemic since one of the best things here is the now 29 flavors of margaritas! The Margaritas are great & after 1-2 u have quite the buzz. So many flavors still the best one is Mango, Watermelon, Banana & Guava to name a few. Nachos with chicken good to share but seems like the portion got smaller, very good Quesadilla with chicken a lighter option is the Garden salad. U finish your dinner & drinks & usually head upstairs or below to dance it off. Drinks upstairs Tito's & seltzer , Jack & coke not bad. Good variety of music but usually a nice mix of Spanish music. Decent service overall, nice ambiance as the restaurant is nicely decorated. I noticed they now offer HH specials which if I recalled wasn't the case before. Price wise ahh they are a bit on the high side but very doable. I decided to up the starts simply because after all these years the Margaritas are always on point & never disappoint it is still a decent spot to grab drinks & dance it all off.

Margaritas delicious and table side guacamole. Who could ask for anything more? Service quick and friendly. Outdoor seating on a breezy summer day. Iguana is trendy and fun.

Came here for food, drinks, and dancing over Memorial Day weekend. There was a cover charge of $20 to get into the dance area. Restaurant is separate. Just because you eat at their restaurant doesn't secure your entrance to the dance floor. We had margaritas which were delicious and a few appetizers. Ended up going to another place to dance because there weren't too many people here. A
