    Today we visited Brighton and we decided to have our dinner here. The interior of this restaurant looks great. Their menu have a good selection of Latin American dishes, which were nicely presented and it was super easy to decide on what to eat and drink. We have been offered a bottle of water at the start, which I always appreciate, especially on a hot weather like today. Our drinks were super delicious and they offered us 2 for 1, four drinks in total, which we didn’t realise until they arrived. For the food we ordered 2 Brazilian dishes, Xinxim and the Copacabana Burger, which were both very tasty. The service was great! 5⭐️for Harlow, who was very attentive, friendly and polite.

    four of us went down to brighton and stopped at las iguanas for a bottomless brunch. the service, cost and food were good - but the cocktails must have been fairly weak as I didn't really feel drunk at all after... however back on the food, i went for the fried halloumi burger with curly fries. it was sensational and would 10/10 recommend this for anyone brunching there

    Nice atmosphere. The place looks good and we have been welcomed by friendly waiters. It's nice for a meal with friends and it offers a variety of food and drinks of South American origin. I would say it is slightly overpriced, given most foods tend to cost more than £10 despite quantities not being excessive. They have a promotion for most drinks, which come 2 for the price of 1.

    Nice south american restaurant. Good selection of drinks and cocktails. Serves, Mexican food, Argentinian steaks plus others. Fairly spicy, so not into heat or spice, might be worth avoiding. Had to wait a while for our mains. Went on Saturday night and booked ahead, although still some tables available. Overall would go ahead.

    Amazing food, friendly staff and quick service. Went for the first time tonight, and wow I have been missing out. The cocktails are absolutely amazing, and I was very happy to find out it was 2 for the price of 1 when i went! Again, the food was incredible, and generous portion sizes for a decent price. I will definitely be visiting again.

    Very tasty food. 241 cocktails. Very bright and big restaurant, so it will accommodate big groups. South American flavours, a bit on the pricey side. You can get 241 cocktails every day, second one would be the same one thought. Great service. Good selections of desserts too.

    I am always curious to try whenever we walked pass the restaurant, because it’s always packed. Then today we decided to give it a go. It was quite when we get there, maybe it’s Bec it’s Monday. As soon as we stepped in the door, there’s a weird smell?! I can’t describe but it’s not nice… then we ordered. The order took a bit longer even though it’s not busy at all. I ordered Curry, omg the chicken was tough, it’s like a rubber. I had ate a few and finished off the rice Bec I was so hungry but didn’t eat all the chicken. It’s not worth the price. I didn’t complain because they are all seemed can’t be bothered. I tried to get the attention of one of the girl staff, but she ignored me. I was disappointed. Burger tasted just. The service was bad, but in fairness to the male staff who served us he’s 👍. Maybe they are only good with 🍹 🥤 🍺 🍸 🍹.

    A really enjoyable group meal. Everyone in our party cleaned their plate and loved their 2 for 1 cocktails! I had the classic chicken burger with added shredded chipotle beef. One of the best chicken burgers I've eaten! The flavour from the caramelised onions along with the other flavours from the beef and chicken were superb. I lived every bite. The chicken was slightly overcooked but that really just allowed me to savour it longer! Amazing sweet potato wedges to seal the deal. Service was fantastic, very fast turnaround. Definitely recommend the place.

    Cocktails are lovely. That’s the only reason I’ve given one star. The food is absolute slop and costs a ridiculous amount for what you get. Ordered spicy chicken enchiladas and got one very dry wrap stuffed with plain chicken and topped with unmelted cheese. The wrap was swimming in uncooked rice and a sort of grey/purple sludge of beans. Won’t be coming back. For some reason can’t post photos but you’d be shocked to see.

    Really enjoyed the food, music was a bit too loud so had to shout a bit to talk, no seating available in restaurant area so had to sit in the bar area to eat but staff was friendly enough and wete able to order food via the qr code - recommend bookings on weekends. Food took a while to arrive but staff apologised when served the meal. Quite pricey food but tasted very good.

  • 4/5 Lozza P. 10 months ago on Google
    Staff are always very friendly and attentive. The music is quite loud as I had to really concentrate on what my friend was saying. Not sure if that's because it was Pride month as I've never noticed how loud it is before. Food was good although they had run out of the hot cheese sauce (I love cheese).

    The bottomless brunch was amazing. The triple tacos were delicious I would recommend following the drink menu down so you get to try them all or skip and try what you want! Overall a great time and experience! ☺️ The staff were great and informative of options and drink

  • 5/5 Holly W. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. The food is fabulous and the cocktails definitely hit the spot! Two of us went out and we got the cocktail and tapas deal, plus we ordered some extra cocktails on top. 4 plates of tapas and 10 cocktails between us and we paid £34 each! Also a special mention to our waitress (I forgot to get her name 🤦‍♀️). Her service was outstanding, probably one of the best servers I have ever had.

    Atmosphere was amazing. The staff (Dan, Alice and Bekah) were fantastic, they were so welcoming and provided more than enough entertainment during our visit. Will absolutely be back again.

    Great experience here for our bottomless brunch, great food and cocktails! Would like to mention that our server Alice was amazing and we will definitely be returning because of her 🩷🩷🩷

  • 5/5 megan p. 8 months ago on Google
    Such an incredible bottomless brunch, servers are constantly bringing drinks and making the most of the time here. The food was hot and delicious, Alice and Joe were especially friendly, treating us as humans rather than consumers, definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Alessio P. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good burritos and quite filling. The first piña coladas were absolutely amazing but the seconds were a little weak. The service was fast and attentive. Overall a very good experience.

  • 5/5 Amy M. 1 year ago on Google
    I booked this place for dinner as part of my sister's hen do for 14 people. You kindly found space to fit us in when i booked ahead and i am very grateful for that. The 2-4-1 cocktails were incredible and the speed at which you served our food was amazing, considering the large number of us! Everyone absolutely loved the food and the atmosphere was perfect. So much choice on the menu for both food and drinks. Overall a fantastic place for hosting a large group for a special occasion - would highly recommend!!

  • 4/5 M J C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place and atmosphere. Food choices great. Service was a little slow for some reason so leave plenty of time if you have any prior arrangements. The food was delicious. Would recommend. More importantly, if you like cocktails, they do 2 for 1! Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Georgia T. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been searching for a place to take my partner for their 22nd birthday since November and still nothing beats Las Iguanas. Top notch food, fruity and boozy 241’s, and impeccable service. HUGE shout out to Phoebe who was so kind, helpful, and energetic whilst we were her customers. Also, who hooked up us with a free birthday cocktail making tray! 10/10 Birthday, my partner is so happy. Thank you Phoebe & team! ❤️👑

  • 5/5 Matilda K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cannot recommend this place enough! I went for brunch with my boyfriend and we each got the £25 brunch deal that includes 4 cocktails and 2 tapas each! It was amazing!!! We were also served by the most lovely waiter called Charlie,, get him a pay rise! He was so bubbly and such a lovely guy. Would 10/10 recommend if you're thinking of going!

  • 5/5 Tyler D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for bottomless brunch for the 1st time here and the alcohol was amazing and free flowing. Becca who showed us to our table was lovely and friendly and our waitress Ruby was FANTASTIC could not of done enough for us. Was so good at replenishing our drinks and always asking if we were OK! Only downside is the food as the plates were quite small and not filling enough! After 2 hours of bottomless drinks we were all very tipsy but throughly enjoyed our time!!

  • 5/5 Asdfghjkl 1 year ago on Google
    Las iguanas is always lovely; the two for one cocktails taste great and are of great value. Our waitress (El) today at Brighton was lovely, very kind and attentive.

  • 4/5 Kirsty S. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are efficient and welcoming, waiter (I feel he was more management) took our food order by memory and we had 5 dishes Impressed me anyway lol. Great selection of Tapas dishes and sooo tasty! We had 5 between the two of us for £30 and portions obviously were small (you only get 3 meatballs, 4 quarters of quesdilla, 4 prawns etc so we ordered nachos after as actually still hungry. However, the actual food itself was absolutely delicious! Couldn't fault any of it! Cocktails are on BOGOF everyday all day and there's so much choice! I had the mango sour bombs which were lovely! Nice atmosphere! Would go again!

  • 5/5 Adetayo O. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing place to be at. Great vibe, great staffs and great atmosphere. Giving a shout out to Clare who was absolutely fantastic, recommended dishes and made sure that we got everything we needed and also made sure that we were not only satisfied but extremely happy with our order. would be coming back next time and down to Brighton. :)

  • 5/5 Cristhiam da S. 2 years ago on Google
    Joe remembered our entire table's food order without even writting it down and got everything correct with a smile and humour. Needs a raise. Ps-Food and drinks awesome as always but I gotta give 5.5 stars for the music, being a latino musician myself I can 110% recommend. Awesome stuff 👌

  • 5/5 Katharine D. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good food, friendly staff all around, the cocktails I tried were all really good! Definitely coming here again.

    2 for 1 Cocktails : Good Hairs in Burrito : Disgusting If you're very covid conscious I wouldn't recommend visiting this restaurant, social distancing and masks are no where to be seen. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was mostly tasty (when It didn't have hair in it) but the cleanliness could definitely been better.

  • 5/5 Laura G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing but the Pina Coladas are supreme. Highly recommended and the staff is super nice and friendly.

  • 4/5 Ella C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing! Even though it was busy still had a lovely time. Holly who was our waitress was so lovely, attentive and everything was down quickly. Thank you so much! Will definitely come again, thank you to the whole team!

  • 5/5 Vi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Our waiter Joe was so so kind and accommodating. There was a bit of a wait for the cocktails at times but they totally made up for it by giving us multiple at a time during our bottomless brunch. Food was delish. The red headed lady with glasses was also so lovely who sorted our bill, she was an absolute star and our fave.

  • 2/5 Valentina S. 2 years ago on Google
    What a disappointment :( After having a lovely time a couple of years ago, we were looking forward to visiting the place again. This shall be my last visit. Food and drinks took forever to arrive (we were served after 2 tables that were seated after us received their food), to the point that we had to go up to the bar twice to get beers ourselves. The food was average at best. The rice portion for my main meal came on a very large plate…although it was presented as a really thin layer of about 30 gr in the middle, no plantain to be seen. The burgers came with 10 chips each, no sauces. We asked and were charged for sweet potato fries which never came. I’m all on board with reducing portions to avoid food waste, but this was close to ridiculous, especially for the price paid. The 2x1 daiquiri came in tiny glasses, had close to no alcohol but lots of ice cubes, for the cheap price of 12 quid. The cashews on the cheesecake were cold but burnt?! The waiter really did not seem to want to be there, another waitress seemed really nice but also forgot to bring us drinks/water, no matter how many times we tried to ask. I assume that they were understaffed and fully understand that the general situation is not easy at the moment, but this is not an excuse to be rude or deliver an incredibly poor service and poor quality. The surprise on his face when we clearly had no intention of leaving a tip, especially as no word was spent about the missing ingredients in our food even after we explained that why we were not going to pay for it :(
