Las Iguanas - Deansgate in Manchester

John Joe was a super attentive, friendly and lovely server. The food and drinks were delicious and the portions were very generous. We are both vegetarians and were very happy with the amount of options available to us. Thank you John Joe for making our experience so great and starting off our night so well before we head off to the Ritz to see Sammy Rae and the Friends :) Defo deserve a promotion! 14/10 would dine with John Joe again haha

We came for the bottomless tapas today. Our booking was for 2pm and it was 5pm when we left. Our server only came over once the whole time and we had to ask another server for more tapas. When we tried to order the bill it came wrong with extra drinks on we hadn’t ordered. This then took another 20 mins to resolve. Food was good but service was just so slow and not up to standard

Helpful servers, good food, great cocktail menu and very good vegan options!

Great lunch at Las Iguanas in Manchester today. The food was lovely, prompt and attentive service from John Joe our waiter and reasonably priced with kids eat free in holidays. We'll be back!

3 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service! Our server, John Joe, was incredibly kind and gave us a pleasant explanation of the tapas we asked about. The calamari felt like eating just the batter—barely any actual squid to taste.

Nika made our experience very enjoyable :)

Nika & JohnJoe was absolutely legendary, they were so kind, and JohnJoe was so quick and attentive, always asking us about another round of drinks during the bottomless brunch xxx thank you so much to both for giving us a great time

Don’t bother for bottomless, 4 drinks in 2 hours they barely came over to us but as soon as our time was up they were quick enough to come over and tell us to leave

Arrived for our reservation 10 mins early and waited as expected to be seated. Drinks order taken and then food order taken 10 mins later. 50 minutes of waiting and despite asking no drinks had arrived. Seem to be more concerned to take care f their friends on other tables.

Food was incredible, the unlimited tapas is such great value. John Joe was our server, he was so lovely and quick to get our order.

We had a very pleasant evening in the restaurant. Great food, the staff were friendly and cheerful. Nice bubbly atmosphere.

We came here for the January exclusive bottomless tapas deal and the food was amazing with good variety. There was also 2 for 1 on cocktails and cocktails so great value for money. Our server Peter was friendly, attentive and made our experience better. It was a very pleasant lunch. 👍

Peter was the best waiter ever!! We did bottomless brunch and the drinks were constant!

Peter the waiter was lovely and looked after us well. Food was tasty, cocktails varied and could be a touch stronger. Otherwise good meal - thank you!

Peter was such a friendly and attentive server, food and drinks were great

Amazing 2 for 1 cocktails and food to die for Would 100% come again !

Unlimited tapas. Lovely food and service.

Lovely atmosphere, staff and most of all the food is amazing. Thank you.

The highlight of the evening was the service. The manager was very attentive to our dietary requirements of not liking coriander. Our waitress - a very kind Polish lady - was also spot on, being polite and taking our order very promptly. The food was okay. I mean for 15£ per person buffet was great value for money. The food also arrived very quickly and we went through at least 6 rounds in an hour and a half.

Honestly, we had such an amazing experience. Nika looked after us and absolutely spoiled us with the bottomless tapas. She was beyond attentive and we just had a real laugh with her. Thank you Nika!! The food itself was amazing - an absolute steal at £15 pp considering how much we got! Can't wait to do it again and would happily pay the £25 for that as that's still an incredible offer

The worst experience ever. First time we went there for the 15 pounds tapas and they told us to come back later that evening and when we came back we waited for 50 minutes yes 5 0 minutes and didn’t get served any food so we just left. Second time we went they said we needed reservation while there was only like 2 tables. Literally the worst experience so far. Very disappointed. Don’t do any special events if you can’t handle it!

The food was amazing and so was the waiter! Will definitely be back :)

Went for bottomless tapas for my girlfriend’s birthday. Our server, Jonjo, was lovely and just kept bringing over more and more plates of delicious food. Never eaten so much in my life, and for £15 each, a total bargain.

The lady who was serving our table was extremely friendly and approachable, made us feel comfortable and was very attentive and professional. Only real complaint was that it was just so so noisy in the restaurant and a little cramped but otherwise everything was great!

We were celebrating my sons 21st Birthday, the service was excellent with lovely staff, the right balance of being around if we needed anything, but allowing us to enjoy our food & drinks. We had the bottomless Tapas deal and the food was great, a good choice and plenty of it ! It was my fist time, but will defiantly be back

John Joe is an awesome server. Super friendly and attentive ! Checked in with us all afternoon. Food was delicious! Had the Jambalaya and Enchiadas, spot on. Full of flavour and not great portions!

Perfect service and we liked our waiter JohnJoe - good job bro

Visited on a Wednesday 5pm. Good service, but very quiet at this time. Food, I had the Nachos and the Brasilian Chicken strips. I thought these were very poor. The portion size of the Nachos for around £8.10, was very poor value for money and the chicken at £8.70 for a few strips of chicken (that didn't come with the said habarnero dip) was again very poor value. Taste wise, I would give them a 4/10. I didn't want to make a complaint as my friends fajitas were good as he found, but at £20, were a bit pricey for what is relatively cheap food. I also didn't want to spoil the meal. I would probably not visit this chain again and would go to a more authentic restaurant next time. On the positive side, again, the service was good.

Despite it looking so empty. The decor was lovely and the atmosphere was ok. Went for the unlimited tapas £15 per head for January. Had about 3-4 rounds. You order 3 dishes per round. Some taco items were not available on the menu. Majority of the tapas were deep fried or smothered in cheese. Even the corn equites I assumed was supposed to be refreshing salad of some sort was just filled with cheese and mayo. Maybe I don't know what tapas is. But each dish was jusT really heavy on the palate. The patatas bravas can be described as soggy microwaved cubed fries. Waiters were friendly, decor was lovely. Food was jus not nice. I guess you can't complain since it was cheap. Bill came up to £50 for 2ppl including drinks.

We came for a visit to celebrate the new year and had the £15 tapas offer which was lovely! All the food was absolutely delicious though the churros were my favourite! John Joe was wonderful, so helpful and friendly, a real asset to the place in our opinion. Thanks for a lovely afternoon!

amazing experience! we were served by john joe who was super friendly and helpful. couldn’t recommend enough :)

John Joe was lovely to us He was very attentive, he made us aware of all the things that were in the menu within our dietary requirements and he always had a smile on his face. Thank you John for an amazing visit.

Went for the £15 tapas deal (£25 usually but this deal is in January) and it was soooo worth the money- almost too much. You get to try the entire £15 tapas menu that’s shown which is insane and went home with two takeaway boxes. Staff were lovely and the passion fruit nojito was a very good mocktail for anyone who doesn’t drink. If you’re a 7ft athlete you still may struggle to eat all the food but all the dishes were tasty. Very accommodating to dietary requirements which is great to see.

Best qualities were: - Team friendliness/attentiveness - Price/quality/speed of food - Great Atmosphere One of the best places I've visited in Manchester. Definitely recommend.

We came for the bottles brunch left very drunk and happy 😀 Food was amazing and cocktails were very tasty and strong! Our two servers, John Joe and dannie were great! Thankyou

Expensive place but worth visiting ✨️

We been there for cocktails and drinks cocktails are overpriced comparing to other bars and pubs and the quality of it’s not up to the mark the amount they are charging for it’s not worthy better avoid these place if you going only for drinks

We had a table booked, though the restaurant was very quiet. We had a wonderful waitress and she was very warm, welcoming and very helpful. I asked if part of my dish could be changed as I struggle with really spicy food. She went and asked the chef if it was possible to swap the very spicy curry in my dish to a less spicy one. The staff were brilliant and sorted it out for me. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We didn't feel rushed but we also didn't feel ignored. It was a lovely evening.

Great food and service 😊😊 we will be back.

Love love love Las Iguanas! Always super friendly service with amazing food and drinks - their £15 bottomless tapas deal is to die for! Shout out to Anna and Danni for a fantastic evening!

This was our first visit to last iguanas, and based off how much we enjoyed our visit we will definitely be back, We popped in before a theatre show and decided the bottomless tapas would be perfect for us, we were amazed at the portion sizes as we were expecting them to be much smaller and all the ingredients were so fresh! I've never had nachos that tasted so nice that I wanted to finish the whole lot! Our lovely server (sorry I didn't get her name) was great at explaining how best to order the dishes and was always on hand when we were ready to order more, I can't wait to introduce family to last iguanas!

Not one for leaving reviews but lord was this an exception for awful. Staff were amazing mind, lovely people and great service but the drinks and food were even below takeaway standard for me. Couldn’t bring myself to pay for food we barely even touched. Strong no from me. Also had about 6 cocktails and not even tipsy must water the drinks down. Travelled an hour on the train to leave as hungry as I entered. Sadly never again :( had a feeling wasn’t going to be great with how dead it was for a Saturday night. Should have trusted my instincts.

The food was very good for merely 10£ with drink included! The only down side was the bathroom which was dark and dirty.

Really great place for the Mexican food lovers. Deserve to change your way for it

Was in on Thursday and we had the from the menu a Brazilian Chicken, and I've not stopped thinking about it since as it was absolutely outstanding...really tasty,one of the best meals I've ever had

Do not do the bottomless brunch here, the service was quite slow when there was hardly any customers in the restaurant, some of the quality of the food was not up to scratch compared to the normal menu, we had to send stuff back such as the chicken burger which was burnt and tasted like charcoal, in addition they stopped serving us drinks when we still had 20 mins left, we would've stayed and paid for more drinks but it's felt like they wanted to get rid of us as we were such a large group so we spend our money elsewhere. The guy who was serving us was nice, it was that the manager that was very cold to us, not very welcoming.

Surprisingly very nice and Xmas menu food was tasty

Delicious food. I recommend them 100%

All lovely, but it was a Tuesday night and very quiet. My only negative is that it was quite cold, heating needed turning up

The street advertising attracted me. Very stylish shop. The selection is great and so are the prices. Cocktails 2-4-1 Attention: the advertising is not entirely clear, the fries cost extra!

Lovely service from John Joe, very helpful. Amazing food

Great staff and great service. Couldn’t ask for more considering how busy it was. I would recommend.

We had a wonderful time at the restaurant and our waiter, James, gave us fantastic service. Advised with the size of our party would be better to order a pitcher for the cocktails.

Great cocktails made by Dylan, very cute, decorative and tasted great ! Even better service from our waiter Boon, they were brilliant. All the staff are lovely, would recommend a visit :)

Best ever tex mex place. I tried the branches at London too and they never disappoint me

Amazing brunch, I will be back! Fantastic service and lovely food with even better drinks! John Joe made us feel so welcome and is an absolute credit to the restaurant. Thank you John Joe for making our night!

We loved the food, the atmosphere was great, service was good and quick and the price was good. 😊

Fantastic food and service, will definitely be back.

So good - John Joe was a star!!

John Joe had the best service!! Was so kind and polite! He’s the best!!

A lovely evening at Las Iguanas, great food and our server JohnJoe was so attentive and friendly, which really made the whole experience so enjoyable. Thank you JohnJoe!! :) xx

John Joe made sure we were looked after from the minute we arrived! Food was delicious and drinks were great, with super quick service as well 😎😎

Juliete was attentive to our table, showing empathy especially towards our children. She took the time to ask the children what they wanted to eat and what kind of chips they wanted. For a family, when a waiter pays attention to the children, it makes all the difference. Thank you. The food was excellent, delicious, the kitchen staff needs to be congratulated. Well done. I just didn't like that one of the waiters when bringing the food to the table, was with the plate on the top of a child's head. Accidents can happen, he needs to be careful about that. As for my meal, I had stuffed chicken breast, which was enough to make me want more. Super delicious and tasty.

Great service from Juliet really quick and friendly. Would defo come again drinks were lovely really great atmosphere

Really nice restaurant, and the staff were nice. Thankfully the service charge is optional as although they were really nice staff, they didn't ask how our meals were and didn't ask if we wanted a dessert menu. The starters were really tasty and everyone enjoyed their meals but the burrito bowl was a disappointment, bland slop, wish I choose something else; and had they asked was everything ok with your meal either while eating or when they came to collect my barely eaten plate, I would have said it wasn't great. Everyone else enjoyed their meal though and everything else looked a lot nicer than mine!

I went for a bottomless brunch and the service was superb. It was unbelievable how fast they would bring the drinks out. The atmosphere was amazing and if I remember correctly my waitress was called Hannah! I would highly recommend booking a bottomless it’s defo worth the money and I left very tipsyyy Thank you team!!

Fab food and fab cocktails. It’s always 2 for 1 too which is never a bad thing. Great service from John Joe. Me and the girls had a great time here :)

Genuinely love it here - great vibes great energy, and very conscious on allergies which I appreciated - waiter John Joe made sure to check things for me which is really helpful

We had a nice experience thanks John!

The food was great and the staff were lovely and very accommodating. Offers via the app and vouchers were an added bonus, as was the birthday treat!

Lovely place to have food and cocktails. Well recommend for big parties or just for a casual meal.

We came here on Saturday with friends after visiting bowlers for the horror convention. Service for drinks was very, very slow. We were quite disappointed at how few drinks we actually got each compared to other bottomless brunch providers. We do not feel in the slightest that we were given the experience Las iguanas put forward for their bottomless advertising. Food arrived quickly and was very nice, which is really the only good point we could take from our experience.

We didn't have food but the cocktails were divine 😋 it had a lovely atmosphere and lovely decor

Only in for drinks nice place, thank you

Service started great and we was attended to well for bottomless. Issue started when a fly was in our drinks. We informed staff member who responded to us 20 mins after we asked for her assistance. She was swift in bringing the drink back to the bar. We watched as the bar laughed and then didn’t replace the drink, but took the fly out with hands and no gloves and then diluted the drink. Wouldn’t recommend after this, but the general service was good but clearly don’t take major issues with urgency. Competitors such as Turtle Bay and local bars the experience was below standard.

We LOVED our visit !!.. We celebrated my wife's birthday & my brother and his fiance were over from LA too to celebrate .. We had an awesome time , food & drink was brilliant value & staff superb .. Bottomless brunch is EPIC :-)

Excellent food for a reasonable price. Friendly and fast service. Two for one cocktails, although the cocktails are not cheap (all over £10) to start with. But overall, a very good place for dinner.

Our server JJ was really helpful and explained what was available and adjusted to our personal wants really nicely! Our food was great, and the cocktails/vibe and easy comfort of the seating areas are always the reason we get drawn to coming here. Always happy with the staff that serve us, JJ is one of several servers that has really made us feel welcome and happy!

We arrived for bottomless brunch to be told the menu was half of what was advertised meaning it was pointless, not one thing on the brunch menus anyone of us liked forcing us to use the other offers on the menu. Unimpressed with the options available and the lack of accommodation for our party upon discovering the last time menu changes Had this been communicated in advance we would have gone else where Paid alot of money to get to the venue so we stayed against our better judgment Would not return

Yummy food- Anna’s service was brilliant. Lunch deal was cheap and delicious :)

Very bust for bottomless brunch, bit slow delivering drinks, but had apology off staff who were nice. Food is basic but nice.

Jena was lovely, would come back due to her service. Speedy and attentive!

Jena was absolutely amazing. she had an amazing aura and was so polite. i really recommend requesting Jena if possible when you go for a bottomless brunch here, she was extremely polite, easy to chat to and gave fast service

Very fast service and delicious food

Excellent food, amazing mocktails and very friendly and efficient service. Thank you to John Joe for looking after us the whole evening. We will definitely be back.

Excellent- we did bottomless brunch n speech of service and quality of drinks the best we’ve had on any bottomless brunch - servers were fantastic

John Joe served us. Exactly the kind of service you would expect. Very helpful!

Rosey was an incredible waitress and is an asset to the company, very grateful.

JJ served us and they were amazing with their service, defo will be coming back here!

Jj was an amazing server for bottomless and very friendly. Really impressed with the service :)
