Las Iguanas - Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

The tacos we all ate were delicious.

A lovely place! Rob was wonderful and made us feel very welcome,

Order for Danny tonight. Done it through uber eats. Look at the state of this, you wouldn't give your dog it. Got them supposed chicken bites with a vegi bowl and even that was dry as sticks. Bearing in mind the order came to over £20. STAY WELL CLEAR

friendly service from Rob, food was great and came pretty quickly. Drinks were also good

I was visiting Edinburgh with my sister. We weren't sure where to go to eat and passed Las Iguanas. We thought we'd give it a try and really happy we did! Rob served us really well. Everyone was very friendly. The Nachos seemed to be pricey, but they were defintiely worth trying! The food was freshly cooked and tasted amazing (we had chicken burrito and chicken burger with fries)! Would definitely recommend!!!

Food was great. Service was very friendly.

We’ll come back . Marcela took good care of us Thank you for you and the rest of the staff on board . And not at least thank you for the chefs to make those tempting dishes

We came in late desperate to get some food after a long day in Edinburgh. We were surprised to get some of the best tacos we ever had and a jambalaya as authentic as can be. The staff is great, always with a smile and the atmosphere is super comfortable and hip. We will be back.

Great atmosphere, very nice staff

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Leo was our server and he was wonderful!

Everything is delicious! Lovely staff!

Food: chicken burger was dry , Our waiter Rob was fantastic Music was too loud

Leo was so attentive! We had a great time at boozy brunch.

Marcela was great, we loved our bottomless brunch. Marcela was really friendly and brought me a birthday cocktail to make!! Such great service

Met a lovely guy (Callum) service was great and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. All in all a great place to spend quality time.

Amazing brunch today! Service from Marcella and Callum was fab, lovely food and cocktails

Natasha was outstanding and made my birthday meal extra special. I have visited numerous Las Iguanas restaurants including Blackpool, Manchester, London and my home city of Glasgow but this was by far the best service, and food, we have experienced and would gladly drive the extra 50 minutes to eat in Edinburgh rather than go to Glasgow when we next have the notion for tacos or cocktails. As a couple we have visited a few Michelin star establishments that have not delivered the friendly, attentive and knowledgeable service that we received from Natasha and I believe her to be such an asset to the company. Thank you Natasha you are a star.

Food was excellent and the service was excellent. This should have been the title. The choice on the menu is unsurpassable and even though I’m not a vegetarian I choose wisely with the chimichanga and enjoyed every mouthful. The drinks were fairly fast and the service was great. Two of our parties meals did not arrive until they retook their order. Slightly annoying as I don’t eat until everyone has food. After this it went a bit sour as the toilet was, how to put this, wet and not with water from the taps. It was a good job I put my shoes back on. They were also downstairs which is annoying. Then the bill came with the service charge already added. Not sure if it’s polite to ask for it to be removed. Worked out it was £2.50pp, roughly. Recommend to others; maybe, it might be the way forward that service is added and I have to ‘man up, snowflake’ but the toilets, nah! Return again; gotta. The food was amazing.

Music was a whole vibe!! And Natasha was an awesome server!! Would definitely come back!

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks. Great service by Rob. Definitely worth it. We would love to come back. Thumbs up!

Natasha was fantastic, honestly I have never received better service from a staff member even in mitchelin star establishments. I would come back to eat here solely based on her outstanding customer service.

Food was nice, portion sizes were ok. Don’t like that a service charge is pre populated, where customers have to ask for this to be removed- tips should be at customer discretion. Staff were pleasant.

I've been coming here for years, Las Iguanas never disappoints. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. See you all again soon!

Food was excellent, cocktails were excellent and the service from Leo has been more than excellent aswell. Would definitely come back!! 5🌟

Food was amazing and the service was 5 star by Paige

Started off very well with friendly staff explaining how we would be looked after. Food ordered and brought out in a timely manner. No complaints with food. Unfortunately in this time the restaurant filled up and the service deteriorated massively from there. Nobody checked for any problems with our food, and we were sat for a long time before anybody came to clear our plates. We weren’t offered desert menu and we had to flag somebody down to order the kids desert for our son. Again we needed to prompt somebody to pay and our son’s plate from his main course had still not been cleared by the time we left. To cap this off the restaurant add an ‘optional’ service charge to your bill. Whilst I appreciate that they point it out and emphasise that it is optional, it don’t think many would ask for it to be removed (myself included) even if the service wasn’t at the level expected. I wouldn’t rule out returning but the service really let the restaurant down after a really positive start.

We were amazed at how friendly and helpful our server and cocktail server were ! They were brilliant !

I was here last night for a meal with friends the service was absolutely shocking we had to wait for 45 minutes for our drinks order and had to ask at least 4 times for 1 beer only for it to come to our table after 1 hour food was OK nothing to write home about I will never be back

Enjoyed a get together for my friend's 50th for lunch. Food was excellent, liked the decor and staff were all really helpful and friendly.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Enjoyed the Caipirinha.

Really tasty food, nice ambience, great fun on a Saturday afternoon.

Table 21 on 21/9/24, went for our friends birthday which we told them when we first arrived and they said they’d sort out a dessert on the house, all was going smoothly until we finished our starters, our drinks was half finished but got taken away then waiting another 50minutes for our mains, or what we thought would be our mains. The birthday dessert came out instead to our surprise (it was yummy though) and when we said we still haven’t received our mains, our server was shocked (he took our orders to begin with) and blamed the kitchen staff for not telling him what was on our order, apologetic but still dampened our evening. We were expected to eat the dessert in between our starters and mains rather than it being taken away. And then an unconditional service charge?? First time there and our last. Even if the food is good, not worth the wait or muck ups. We could clearly see everyone else in this servers section was waiting 25minutes plus. That’s when we discovered the order and pay by yourself QR code that was not shown to us to begin with. Clearly a lot of issues needs to be addressed, nice servers and conversations mean nothing if it’s wasting the customers time.

Best chimichangas ever! This is a casual and eclectic place with authentic Latin food & drinks. Try the Bull in Tequila Shop which has it all. No disappointments here.

Quality of food, fast service, friendly staff, attentive also. I was eating in alone with 2 young children & the staff were super helpful, my daughter spilt her glass of juice which was quickly cleaned up & staff member was quick to reassure my daughter that it wasnt an issue & filled her water bottle with more juice which i thought was a nice gesture. Asked why we were in edinburgh, i said it was my birthday , we picked our mains & deserts, food A* , my brownie had a candle in it & the staff member serving sang happy birthday which was a nice touch. Upon paying bill i was informed that i wouldnt pay for deserts as it was my birthday. Ive only ever had cocktails in las iguanas both in edinburgh & newcastle, so as a first experience dining in, id say it was a positive one! Thankyou to the staff, i will definately be returning in future! My new favourite mexican restaurant . Keep up the good work & positive fun atmosphere! Best of luck

Great dinner Las iguanas… the food was fresh, tasty and the kitchen was very accommodating of our requests. The service was outstanding… Shadi, our server, was super friendly and attentive.

We had great food, some excellent drinks and a lovely time Shadi, our server, was absolutely brilliant, making sure we were having a great experience. Thank you so much

really enjoyed our dinner tonight, the food was lovely! Also have to say our server Shadi was absolutely amazing, the most attentive and lovely person! Had a great chat with her, will be back soon!

We had a really good meal here, really great food and drinks! We were served by Callum and Shadi who were loveley and helpful, making our experience even better. I will be back!!

It’s been a while but the return was a very pleasant surprise! Having moved away from this side of the city, Las Iguanas has been off our radar for a while but we happened to be in the West End and fancied some Latin fare. It was amazing! The menu has been expanded to include new Brazilian curries which were recommended by Natasha who greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome. Having looked through the menu, I decided to take Natasha’s steer and give the Bahian Chicken Curry a try and it was immense! So flavoursome and had a perfect balance of padron peppers, plantain and rice to accompany it. We’ve really enjoyed our time here - the service was excellent with lovely staff and the chilled atmosphere encouraged us to linger for more drinks. Big shout out to Natasha for the excellent service and to our two servers who were also amazing. Whilst we’ve overlooked Las Iguanas for too long, we’ll certainly be making the trip more often. Highly recommended.

The Taco Sharing board was delightful. Our waitress Shadi was one of the most pleasant wait staff I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

Great food Shadi was serving was really professional in looking after me without overdoing it. I’m great veggie options and nice wine selection

Super boozy brunch - lots of fun and good value for money

We were well looked after by Stephanie and Paige. Food, range of cocktails and service was excellent!

Went in last week and was served by Paige. She was really attentive and provided great service. The food and experience was awesome

Paige makes every visit incredible. She SERVES every time, she's a star!!!

Was served by Paige & Shadi - really great service and recommendations, would definitely come back again

Honestly great food, great energy and amazing service, Paige is the sweetest person going she made the atmosphere amazing. Definitely recommend.

We come here a lot and we enjoy it every time! Leo was so lovely and very attentive!

Cristian was a great waiter, highly recommended

Excellent food. Awful loud music creates tense dining atmosphere. Avg prices

The food is great! I only needed to wait

A run-down of what I've had recently: the fajitas were good; the margaritas were good but you don't get much; the quesadillas had barely any cheese (to be honest, I looked, and saw none); the nachos are arguably nachos, I suppose, but also arguably not, and the tortilla chips were chewy (never a good sign); the "gooey cheese dip" is not, I repeat *not* queso of the tex-mex variety, and is in fact utterly disgusting; and no one can properly pronounce Jaritos, but kudos for at least carrying it, so that's something I suppose. They're too hit-or-miss to be worth it. Go elsewhere. They do have Cholula, though!

I'd visited the Glasgow branch a couple of years back so wanted to visit again when staying in Edinburgh. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food and cocktails were really good!

Super tasty food, the music is a bit loud.

Rob had amazing service and looked after us the whole night, very friendly l, funny and likeable guy, we will definitely be back

Leo was fantastic! Very accommodating to our needs. Food was delicious and very quick service! Cocktails were lovely!

Friendly staff, good service, great atmosphere, we just had drinks - nice cocktails

We had Paige as our server and she was amazing. She has such a upbeat demeanor and gave great suggestions for the tapas. Spot on for the Cheese and Mango Empanadas!

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 were friendly and happy. A great restaurant to have a meal in a very friendly, happy ambience. Highly recommend

We'd been meaning to eat here for ages and finally did. Very friendly staff who helped my husband find the best lighting. Excellent menu with excellent portion sizes. We ate on a Friday about 2 pm when it was quiet, but it soon began to fill up! Would definitely recommend - reasonable prices as well

Came in for lunch and got the lunch deal. The food was amazing, best nachos I’ve had in a while. Great veggie/vg options as well. All the waiting staff were lovely and the place had a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back :)

We have been here a few times and it never disappoints! Shout out to Paige for great service.

The food is okay but it's unbelievably bad value. Feel like I got scammed

Really polite and quick service. Food was good just need bigger wraps for the fajitas. Mixed fajitas were very good though.

Thank you so much Mr. christian for your wonderful treatment.It was perfectly suitable place for Our office summer party .We were 15 people and they organised the table accordingly and Christian Managed brilliantly .

Great food great staff looked after us so well will definitely return

Nice place to dine. Food good and lots of variety. Prices not too bad for city centre.

Great food, quick service and great staff

Amazing food, drinks and service!

Popped in for lunch today, lovely little place at the end of George St. The sun was out, and it was beautiful. The food was delicious, I had the fish tacos, the fillet steak skewers, and a pineapple and coconut mocktail. My wife had the beachfries, chicken skewers, and an aperol. Everything was perfect and fairly priced, the area manager was up from leeds she was really nice and helpful, and can't forget about natasha she was really sweet and knew her stuff. I'm.sure she was the manager. Nevertheless wonderful day, which well presented food 😋 definitely be back. Thanks to the chefs ,well presented and the kitchen was spotless!

Very delicious and great place for Mexican food, they had gluten free option, I ordered taco GF, very tasty

I had high hopes for my recent visit to Las Iguanas, but unfortunately the experience left a lot to be desired. The service was the one bright spot - our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. However, the food itself was a major letdown. We started with the chicken wings, which were just terrible. The seasoning was off, the texture was rubbery, and there was little to no flavor. Things didn't improve from there. The chicken skewers and meat skewers we ordered for our mains were equally disappointing. Both were shockingly bland and devoid of any real flavor. It tasted like the chef either completely forgot to season the proteins, or they just didn't know how to properly prepare them. Even the drinks were subpar. The cocktails we ordered seemed watered down and lacked the punch you'd expect from a Latin American-inspired menu. I'm not sure if this was just an off night for the kitchen, or if the chef needs some serious retraining, but the overall food quality was very poor. It seemed like we may have been one of the first customers in for the day, and the kitchen just hadn't "warmed up" yet. But that's no excuse for serving such subpar dishes. At the end of the day, I expected a lot more from Las Iguanas based on their reputation. The service was good, but the food and drinks were just not up to par. I can't recommend this location and I'm unlikely to return. For the price, there are so many better Latin American dining options available.

From the minute I walked in, I felt looked after. My friend was late to arrive so I had an awkward solo wait - the staff noticed this, brought me water and took my order for a drink and periodically came over to check in with me. The staff were fabulous from start to finish and are an absolute credit to the restaurant.

Brilliant service, lovely drinks, not any more expensive than what any other bar in Edinburgh.

Cristian the best waiter 🤟🏻 very delicious food Long live Argentina! 🇦🇷

Paige was absolutely lovely, with excellent service. Had an amazing time for my birthday meal

Paige was a delight! Super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!!!

Great service and Robert was a amazing host, had a really great time!

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say that our experience was exceptional, thanks to our wonderful waiter, Paige. From the moment we were seated, Paige made us feel welcome and attended to our every need.

Had an amazing time in Las Iguanas. Just went for drinks and snacks and it was great. The food was very good and the service was great, thanks Cristian!

This was so amazing and our server (Christian) was so fun and nice! If you go then definitely ask for him :)

Food and drinks are amazing. Five starts for Christian who made the experience even better.

The fastest table service I've ever received!! My burger was a bit burnt.

Warm welcome, attentive but not pushy staff. Great recommendations and service from Leo our server. Will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and the staff was really nice and friendly. We really enjoyed our meal there!

Very good attention from Cristian

Order some food an drinks, everything was good. Cristian one of the severs was really good and happy to explain us the menu.

Cristian was an amazing waitress! Always trying to make us comfortable with our order. He is an excellent worker! Glad to come back.

First visit on a midweek rainy night. We had a warm welcome. Quick service. All staff very friendly... due to it being midweek bar was a little empty... I guess that a weekend the place would be jumping... Our party reflected that this would be a great place for a work night out or big group meal...

Food and service was amazing! Natasha is top notch, super friendly and welcoming

Amazing food, delicious fajitas! Cocktails are good for the price and the choice on the menu is huge. Thanks to Paige for the lovely service! Will be back.

Great Restaurant, charming and fast Service. Would come again👍

Had an amazing meal with my wife today. Cristian was a fantastic host making sure our drinks were topped up at all time and so knowledgeable about the food. One of our favourite places to eat in Edinburgh will be back again and again.

Great food, great service! Loved it here!

I had the lunch deal for £9.95 based on the picture of the meals outside. I ordered the ‘ensalada asada’ which when it arrived I thought was a joke. After some further looking at the menu the salad is actually a tapas dish being sold as a “main”. It was so so small! I asked if I could have some tortilla chips as it was so small and was charged £5 for ‘chips and dips’. £15 for a draught Diet Coke, 1 tapas dish and a small cup of tortilla chips. Daylight robbery

Wow, wow, wow! What a gem of a place! I am speechless, I have never received such gold star service. Paige and Emily were on top of their game, what superstars!! Will definitely be back!

5… 5… FIVE!!!!!! Nothing but 5 star reviews for this place and its gorgeous staff. Paige is such an attentive and glamorous team member and the ambience is like no other. Perfect place for me and my bestie to grab a cheeky glass of vino. Will be returning! Thanks Paige!

Great that they fitted us in on Saturday with Taylor Swift in town. Tiny Portions and average taste certainly not authentic Left hungry and couldn't pay using their QR code as kept getting error messages. Tried won't be back

Paige was great! She was really attentive. We would come to Scotland just for her.
