    Well, it's well rated and a difficult getting spot place. We dined inside because during the booking we didn't highlight to sit outside. It was fully booked. Service was great. The waiters were really friendly. Food finally, i liked the drinks and dessert part. Fried 🍦 ice cream was really good. However the pork tacos we took weren't as GOOD as expected. I felt it was a bit salty. The same case was for bf. For this food, the place is overrated.

    One of the best Mexican cuisine restaurants I have ever tried. Keep in mind you need to reserve in advance as its full most of the time. Their nachos and fajitas are really delicious. We were pampered by the amazing service of Soma. Reasonable prices for a good quality food. Would definitely come back

    One of my favorite restaurants in Budapest! Mexican breeze.. I absolutely love the ambiance of the place and the staff! My favorite is the chicken fajitas. You should also try the churro. You have to come here!

    This place is absolutely amazing. I can not say enough good things about the service and the food. I’ve been to Mexico several times, and I live in South Florida. This is one of the best Mexican places I have ever been to. I also lived in Chicago. My point is they all do Mexican well and so does Iguana Budapest. Hands down the best place I’ve eaten from Amsterdam to Budapest. It’s insanely hot out and a nice cold iced margarita hit the spot. Highly highly recommended. Great staff, great service and amazing food especially for the none meat eaters. Oh, and there own beer is the perfect light beer on a hot day.

    (Translated by Google) By far the best Mexican restaurant in the country. Authenticity at the highest level, an outstanding gastronomic experience, all after many experiences. Superlative: cheese cream soup, 5 teeth, cheese quesadilla, Monterrey burrito, chili con carne, enchilada de mole. Maximum score, Viva Mexico! (Original) Az ország magasan legjobb mexikói étterme. Autenticitás felsőfokon, kimagasló gasztronómiai élmény, mindez sokadik tapasztalást követően is. Szuperlatívusz: sajtkrém leves, 5ös fogat, sajtos quesadilla, Monterrey burrito, chili con carne, enchilada de mole. Maximális pontszám, Viva Mexico!

    Really good food, real Mexican flavours and all good vibes inside! The waiters look like they enjoy their job. Nice chat guaranteed! The food: fresh, colourful, options for kids and vegetarians, which is really cool. I really enjoyed myself there and will definitely come back while visiting Budapest 😀

    This place actually pretty nice with a great service! The design are very warm and nice. The food are tasty some of them have a very traditional taste. The price are kinda expensive. Overall it’s a nice place, but I did not taste something that triggered me so I guess it a 4. !!! Must Visit !!!

    The Burrito is very tasty and it fills you a lot since they give you also the extra toppings! Amazing dish! And the best was also the strawberry margarita! My friends had nachos too which you can see from the pic, they’re very tasty! Only side note: if you go with a group of friends, they don’t make you pay separately!

    Found by accident and was told there would be a wait, literally 5 minutes later a table was cleared and we were seated at an outside table. Plenty of options and they even modified dishes to make them vegan for us. Food was amazing as were the cocktails. So glad we found Iguana bar and grill.

    Super friendly staff and waitors. The food was awsome. The best maxican food I have had i Europe. The meat and chicken was super tasty and the salsas and quacamole was seasoned to perfektion. Not to spicy and not to bland. Nice prices and alot to choose from. The chimychangas was the best from the items we ordered. Would eat here at least once a week if i could.

    We visited for an early dinner on a Saturday with a group of six. Reservation is a must. You simply cannot go wrong with your choice, the food is excellent. We especially recommend the fajitas. Also check out the coctails, there are some specials of the place, we liked Iguana Lux the most. The service is helpful and professional, able to recommend if you are stuck with choices. This is one of the best Mexican places in Budapest, we will definitely return.

    We came at around 2 p.m. during a weekday and luckily got a table outside without a reservation. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious and the portions were quite big. I personally loved that my tacos al pastor came with multiple chunks of pineapple per taco and not just one! I recommend trying out the Michelada for fun🍹😅 We paid around 46€ (17000 HUF) including the tip.

    I like this place, food and drinks are good. but I'm very disappointed of the service today. I was there at 4-5pm Saturday, they told me that I can sit just at the bar, though many of tables were free. but it's not a problem. but when I ask to pack my leftover to take away, they just give me a bag and I had to pack myself. i guess next time I'll be asked to wash the dishes. if it will be next time

    This was the last restaurant we visited in budapest and we saved the best until last! We had an amazing meal - very generous portions and the staff were all so smiley and friendly. We had the combo sharer to start which was really nice and huge portion. For main, I had carne asada burrito which was very generous with the meat and had a nice kick to it. The Mrs had tacos which were full to the brim, she enjoyed them. For dessert we had fried ice cream which was delicious and bigger portions than other Mexicans I’ve tried. Highly recommend!!

  • 3/5 Rogér D. 3 years ago on Google
    Cocktail 'Zombie' is a good one. The food is not bad, but not special either. There is just too much sauce on the 'enchilada especial' which makes this dish just too mushy.

  • 5/5 Melinda J. 4 years ago on Google
    Here we had the best chicken fajitas and Monterrey burrito ever! Absolutely recommend the place to those who love vivid flavours and deliciously spiced food. (The fajitas were a huge portion, whereas the burrito was smaller, but still enough if having a soup or a desert, or in case you want your tummy to be comfortably full)

  • 5/5 David D. 4 years ago on Google
    Went here first on a Friday but they were booked out (a good sign). Made a booking for the Sunday evening when it was still busy (another good sign). Food good quality and big portion sizes. Margaritas are excellent. Good prices for wines and other spirits. Overall positive and can recommend.

    A jalapenos sajtkrémleves isteni volt, és jó nagy adag. Utána monterrey burritot ettem, az is hibátlan volt, a felszolgálók normálisak, korrektek voltak, az ételre sem kellett sokat várni + SZÉP kártyás fizetés is lehetséges volt.

    Ha nem zavar a csorba tányér, akkor ott a helyed, remek ételek, korrekt belvárosi árak. Vigyázz, 10 % már benne van az árban. Csúcsidőben nem árt foglalni. A csokoládé szószos csirkéjük fenomenális, ha elég bátor vagy hozzá. Menüt is rendszeresen rendeltem, az sem volt csalódás. Változatos és remek választás a kétszemélyes előétel tál, egy komplett ebédnek is elég egy főre. Most Egy festés után megszépült.

    Iguana is among the best Mexican restaurants I have ever visited for food quality, and it is the best I have experienced regarding service and overall friendliness. I say this as someone who has lived in Oklahoma (which has its own significant number of high-quality Mexican-owned and operated restaurants). There is outside seating, though the sidewalk where it is located is quite narrow (although that cannot be improved because of city spacing). Inside, there are two floors available for seating, and the interior design is pleasant. One feature of this place is that it has the license plates for all 50 US states (and some territories, I think). Iguana offers a takeaway option and delivers within a certain distance. It is within easy walking distance of a scenic park and the US Embassy.

  • 5/5 Ibriksz R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cheese soup was very delicious by default, but the slightly spicy and slightly sour chili rings still threw one at the experience. The steak - which was made exactly the way I like it - was delicious without the two kinds of sauces, and even more so with them. The coffee was simply super .. (Original) A sajtleves alapból nagyon finom volt, de az enyhén csípős és kissé savanykás chilikarikák még dobtak egyet az élményen. A steak - ami pont úgy volt elkészítve, ahogy szeretem - a két féle szósz nélkül is finom volt, azokkal pedig még inkább. A kávé egyszerűen szuper volt..

    Pretty nice Mexican restaurant. It’s located in a very quiet street and even when sitting outside, you’ll have a relaxing meal. The tables outside are protected by trees, which during hot weather, is a nice plus point. The Lemonade was very good and nicely refreshing on a hot summer day. We also had one of their wines, which was very tasty. The food was very delicious. Unsure what the point of half a plate of lettuce, which had no dressing or seasoning, was. The tomatoes unfortunately weren’t fresh and must have been from the day before or so. All of the waitresses seemed very bored and unmotivated unfortunately. Bit confused why non of the staff had masks on!! Cash and card payment possible. English menus available. Prices are reasonable.

  • 4/5 Zsuzsi B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great location with wide selection of delicious food. The special Margarita is highly recommended as well the nachos. The food worth a 5 star. Other coctails were decent. Unfortunately the floor was sticky and slippery towards the toilette and the manu cards were old and dirty which made me feel uncomfortable to touch mostly during COVID-19. However... Tables had alcogels. All together for good food highly recommended but a bit worn down the place. A bit.

  • 3/5 Susan B. 3 years ago on Google
    Eh. Expensive for what it is. Had the fajitas and the sauce they grilled the veggies in dominated everything and not in a good way. Came out sizzling, which was nice, but I've had better Mexican food and sangria from a food truck. The ambiance was eh too and we felt mushed, not to mention that the waiter kept bumping into my friend and not even saying sorry. I guess he was used to it ?

    We love the kitchen of this place. We visit this place about 15 years ago and want to go back again and again. The waitresses are so stressful in the night time. And as the 10% tip is the fix part of the bill, they afford to push this stress to the guests. Thanks to this and the narrow place between the tables I cannot feel myself as a guest last time rather than an annoying obstacle of the waitresses.

    I've avoided having Mexican food while living in Hungary because I try to eat locally and I don't expect the food to be very good. I finally gave Iguana a shot because my friend was craving Mexican food. I ordered a burrito, he the fajitas. His dish came out like a soup and he told me over and over again that the taste and texture were "no bueno." The burrito was okay. It would be nice to go back someday and try something like their tacos, since fajitas and burritos are more Tex Mex than real Mexican food. I should add that i grew up in California and have traveled throughout Mexico. The customer service is good.

  • 5/5 Remco V. 3 years ago on Google
    Finding good Mexican food in Budapest is difficult, but this is by far the best spot to go. Reservation is recommend as it gets very busy. The Margarita is to die far. Home made guacamole and salsa are very good, I had the enchiladas and my partner a deep fried burrito. I asked for extra spicy sauce and got something very proper. Service is a bit bad though, didn’t get cutlery and the starter was served at the same time as the mains. Other than that highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Devyn S. 3 years ago on Google

    Iguana is a nice casual Mexican place in a nice location in central Budapest. Reservation is recommended and welcomed and seating is available inside and outside. Very diverse menu with options for vegetarians and otherwise. The shrimp fajita was lovely, and Iguana beer paired it just right. Might return.

    (Translated by Google) I feel overwhelmed! A bite of chicken meat and a serving of caesar salad for 3,100 HUF. Caesar sali do you know what it consisted of ?! Iceberg lettuce + croutons. NO OTHER VEGETABLES! Not even a dressing! From this, a caesar sali is more hearty than the yellow letter "M"! They said it was a very good place, so I tried it. It received 1 star because the system does not allow less. (Original) Átverve érzem magamat! Egy falatnyi csirke hús, és egy adag cézár saláta 3.100 Ft-ért. A cézár sali tudjátok miből állt?!

    (Translated by Google) The food was delicious, the service was good. There were several of us, it was hard to pay. Although we could pay separately, they could only bring out the bill in one go, and we had to calculate to whom how much to pay. I could really spare the dear guests from this. (Original) Az étel finom volt, jó volt a kiszolgálás. Többen voltunk, nehézkes volt a fizetés. Habár tudtunk külön fizetni, a számlát csak egyben tudták kihozni, és nekünk kellett kiszámolni, hogy kinek mennyit kell fizetni. Ettől igazán megkímélhetnék a kedves vendégeket.

    (Translated by Google) For the first time in my life, I ate Mexican food (s); won my favor. Value for money is also good. However, it is worth booking a table (we did) because the place is quite popular. (Original) Életemben először ettem mexikói étel(eke)t; elnyerte tetszésemet. Az ár-érték arány is jóféle. Viszont érdemes asztalt foglalni (mi is így tettünk), mert elég népszerű a hely.

    A great place for some Tex Mex cuisine. We've been here many times and have not been disappointed. The food is excellent and never disappoints. The Iguana is usually busy so reservations are recommended but the staff are very friendly and help seat you even if they are busy. Courteous and helpful staff make for a great dining experience, we highly recommend this restaurant.

    Iguana is a jewel in Budapest. The food is always delicious and the staff very friendly. This time I had the Tacos Al Pastor and my partner had a Burrito. Both on point with fresh ingredients, even those hard to find like cilantro, avocado and pineapple. Then with had churros for dessert and that's where they caught me forever. I love churros and this were perfectly crunchy and the chocolate thick, not too sweet, not too bitter. Just perfect! It's a bit more expensive than other Mexican restaurants, but it's worth every cent. Totally recommend it 👌

    I recommend the fajitas. Really tasty and big portion. The guacamole and the pico de gallo are super good too! They prepare good michelada beers.

  • 3/5 István S. 2 years ago on Google
    Be prepared for a little above average prices. Food seemed just regular, though. Waiters seemed to be a little impatient. Despite that it's located in a very nice area, close to beautiful spots of the city.

  • 4/5 Ivonne H. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m confused as how to rate this restaurant.. I’m Hispanic, not Mexican, but I know true Mexican food, even Mexican American - and the food tasted more like Mexican Italian. We got the quesadillas and chicken enchiladas and both had what tasted like tomato sauce that goes on lasagna. It wasn’t bad, it actually tasted very good, but it’s not Mexican ! Then they topped it with Parmesan cheese, not Mexican blend, not cheddar, not any type that goes on Mexican food, but Parmesan 😄. Once again, tasty, but not Mexican. Now, the portions were great, the frozen margaritas were delicious, and the service was fairly fast- because we had to sit at the bar due to lack of sitting, which I recommend. We got our food faster than other people who got there before us - which is great! The bartenders and staff were overall very friendly and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. Would I come back ? With the variety of restaurants in Budapest, probably not - but it was pleasant experience - so - You decide.

  • 5/5 Rok S. 2 years ago on Google
    They craft their own beer 👍. OK food was good, but I'm giving them 5stars because their food is different then they serve at home. Damn, I should order what my wife had....Monterey buritto. Some spicy wouldnt hurt.

  • 3/5 Anastasia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Would have given 4 stars. But the hostess didn’t seat us at the table, although place had at least 5-8 free tables for 2 people for like 2h while we were there. We sat at the bar.Normally I come there for frozen margaritas (best in town) and sit at the bar, for food sitting at the bar was a bit uncomfortable. Didn’t like the dish with shredded chicken and chocolate. Chimichanga were delicious.

  • 5/5 Roland K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and great service. Food is delicious if you want to eat great Mexican food in Budapest you should visit this place. Highly recommended! 😋 And do not forget to mention that the prices are reasonable.

  • 4/5 Brian D. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Mexican in Budapest so far. Amazing tacos and everything. Highly recommended, the portions are also very huge. Also ask for their super spicy sauce if you like your Mexican food hot 🔥🔥🌶🌶 Downside is staff are not very friendly, girlfriend complained they stingy on tissue. But hey I guess good food is the reason to go back

  • 5/5 Chris H. 9 months ago on Google
    Very good Mexican food!! Great atmosphere, you can find all kinds of Mexican dishes on the menu. I've had the empañadas and they were amazing!!! We did not have a reservation when we went and easily got a table. But if you are more than two people I would recommend reserving beforehand

  • 5/5 Ema F. 8 months ago on Google
    Great good, we had chicken quesadillas and burrito with strawberry margarita. The place looks amazing. Would recommend a reservation because a lot of people without could not get a place to sit.

  • 4/5 Daedalus 8 months ago on Google
    Good burritos, good beer. The only thing I didn't like - the tips are included. As usual, this is the sign of a bad place. This one is really good - but adding tips to the bill without asking client always looks like cheating.

  • 5/5 Csaba M. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic food and service, is going to become a go to place for me every time I'm in Budapest.

  • 1/5 Preeti S. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas and it came with a ton of pasta sauce on top. Very wrong. The sauce tasted so off and there was so much of it. Definitely not Mexican food at all. No flavor either. Just canned pasta sauce vibes. The mango margarita was bad too and didn't taste at all like mango.

  • 4/5 Ashley G. 10 months ago on Google
    Good food and a nice atmosphere inside. Waiters are welcoming and friendly. The fajitas were tasty and I especially liked the choice accompanying garnishes that were served separate. We came as a group of 7 and the waiter was more than happy to arrange splitting the bill seven ways

  • 5/5 Veronika S. 5 months ago on Google
    That was my first time here, but I have love it. Nachos is amazing. I have actually had a mexican in town which was my favorite now I cannot decide. The only thing is that prices are quite high even in the town center. Anyway: it is highly recommended to go!

  • 5/5 Marcell B. 5 months ago on Google
    It must be the best Mexican in Europe I've been to. Attentive and knowledgeable waiters, great food that tastes just like in Mexico, large portions and comparatively reasonable prices. This is not the type of restaurant where you want to order 3 meals, nono, one main dish will be more than enough for most! We've tried multiple soups, chicken wings, enchiladas, burgers and quesadilla, it was all amazing. If you ask they give you hot chili sauces (for free). I can only recommend it!

  • 5/5 Ane G. 4 months ago on Google
    The restaurant is very well located. The decor is really pretty and the ambience is really nice. They also count with a terrace which is where we had our lunch. Everything we ordered was really good (nachos, tacos and quesadilla). The staff was very friendly and I would really recommend if you are around Budapest :)

  • 4/5 Silvia C. 6 months ago on Google
    Iguana Bar and grill+restaurant is a pleasant surprise in the heart of the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary. They offer cocktails, dishes and even the whole service platters make you feel that you are having lunch at a Mexican place! I truly recommend this Bar and restaurant when you are walking at downtown Budapest.

  • 5/5 Salma M. 7 months ago on Google
    The place has a great atmosphere and it is ver lively! The food was amazing and the margaritas were one of the best (both strawberry and mango). Akos was our waiter for our dinner and he took care of everything and prioritized customer service in a great manner. I would definitely recommend the place for a nice, fun Mexican night/good. Can’t wait for my next visit! 😄

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 4 months ago on Google
    Five star Mexican food from the perspective of an American living in Slovakia. If you just came from the US, well, why are you getting Mexican in the first place, go try some central European cuisine. But it was good, a bit pricey, and the idea of "spicy" definitely isn't what would be spicy in a Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. Again, if you haven't had real Mexican food in months or years, I've never had better in Europe; just a bit more spiciness would be 👍 Also, if you want to sit at a table, you probably need a reservation, but you can eat at the bar as we did.

  • 5/5 Mila H. 4 months ago on Google
    This is our second time here and it's absolutely the best place in Budapest. The food is amazing, waiters are so helpful and kind. I celebrated my birthday here and they were so kind to organize a little surprise with my dessert. Definitely my favorite restaurant.

  • 5/5 George F. 6 months ago on Google
    We had Carne Asada Enchiladas which was great. Also had the Monterey Steak Burrito which was average, maybe my expectations were too high. The churros and the brownie with ice cream were also really good. It's kinda pricey, but worth it. The service was quick. It's usually full, but we managed to find a table outside. It's recommended to make reservations ahead of time.

  • 4/5 Belle K. 2 months ago on Google New
    Get a reservation to avoid long wait. We stumbled across it with no prior booking and was placed facing a wall. Still great with the music and lit up bar, though!

  • 5/5 sarah h. 2 months ago on Google New
