    It is a nice place to hang out with friends and have a few drinks. However, they need to improve their food. We ordered a tapas sharing plate, Guacamole was very dry and tasteless. The mushroom was delicious and it went well with regular tortillas. But the blue corn tortillas were awful. I also didn't like the churros. The good thing about Las Iguanas is that they have great cocktails, definitely recommend the Caipirinha. Also I liked that they have an interesting selection of coffees.

    Food was great as always - thanks a lot Andrei for tha food. The best chef in Leamington. Drinks were perfect, great for a Monday evening with the family. We will come back very soon, looking forward to enjoy the best tapas and drinks in town.

    Good food! Great music! Brandon was brilliant to serve us among other who asked if we were ok( didn’t catch their names). I would say that cocktails are a bit pricey but you get 2 for 1

    Good food and cocktails with good and attentive staff! The phone ordering system wasn't working too well, unfortunately. However, the rest of the service made up for it. The food itself was nice and flavourful. Unfortunately, some pieces of meat were a little dry.

    It was a nice atmosphere and the staff seemed friendly and helpful. The cocktails and mocktails are undeniably delicious. Unfortunately the options for gluten free and/or Vegan food were extremely limited, this was due to the fryer being used for everything else so we couldn't have anything that would need to be cooked in there. So... no chips, sweet potato fries or mash, no poppadoms or anything crispy. Also couldn't have any of chicken wings and a few other bits from the normal non plant based menu. This had a big impact on the quality of are meal and is such a shame as it could be fixed with having a dedicated fryer like other restaurants do. The food we had was underwhelming, the tapas sharing board was ok. The vegan cheese and yoghurt wasn't touched much and we really missed out on the poppadoms to go with them. The refried beans looked like had been sitting for a while but the greens were nice. The vegan curry was tasty and the mushroom stack was too but a shame it seemed like a better version of the tapas sharing board we'd just had. It's a really nice atmosphere i would recommend trying if you're not restricted with allergies or for drinks.

    I can definitely say that this is not a place I would go for dining. The chicken wings we had as a starter came 1 hour later and was cold, and it was obvious that it wasn't freshly cooked, then why we did wait for an hour is an unknown. The main course was also cold, none of them freshly cooked. The food could have been cooked beforehand it is ok but it was unsuccessfully served, cold. The menu looks authentic and rich but the taste doesn't make you feel that authenticity. Unbelievable. You need to revisit your processes and timing. Except the food, it is a good place for drinks and chatting.

    A truly painful experience. Waited over an hour for food with people who came in after us being served before us as our waitress obviously forgot to put the order through. Got sat next to the door on a chilly day whilst large groups of teenagers were in and out constantly vaping/smoking leaving the door open. Had to get up to close it all the time; luckily a family was sat next to us who tagged in with the door closing. It seemed tables just drinking were prioritised over people ordering food. And when we finally got our food I found a bit of metal Brillo pad/scourer in the chips. A restaurant run by children for children to get drunk on cheap cocktails, definitely not somewhere to go for dinner.

    Service was so bad that you needed to insist on someone taking an order (after sitting and reading menus for over 20 minutes). When they did take the order, most options were 'no longer available' or 'sold out'. Food was so basic that i think the 'chefs' either laughed or cried when serving it... and paying became a chore as all the staff had disappeared and almost dared you to leave without paying. Just don't bother.

    We came in for some pre drinks tonight and we’re astounded by the level of service by Reagen and Matt! They were very attentive and made sure we were always satisfied with our drinks!

  • 5/5 Marilena C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, nice atmosphere, 2for1 cocktails. We've booked a table for a party but only had 2 hours allocated, so we didn't have time to order desert. But we had a great time there.

  • 5/5 Amy W. 10 months ago on Google
    I came in yesterday and had a lovely meal. Holly, our waitress, did a great job and was very attentive! I definitely recommend the cocktails!!

  • 4/5 The A. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice place they done their best on putting the atmosphere in the restaurant. Good menu for gluten intolerance guests. Not sure if they where short staffed but there was fair bit of waiting and noticed staff walking back empty handed. Food would have been 5 stars if they wouldn't have put chilli powder on the mixed grill steak ( why ruin steak I've been all over the world and never had this) and in one of the vegan meals we had ( black bean one) way to much chilli powder even though it wasn't stated on menu so it got left.

    Great food let down by poor service. Waited 10 minutes after being seated for a waitress, but she never came. Ended up using the app instead. Then the drinks we ordered never arrived and I had to chase those. Food was amazing though. Steak was cooked to perfection. Very expensive. £53 for two people. Coke was £4 a glass!. Had to laugh at the app asking if I wanted to leave a tip. For what? Just to seat us. Didn’t actually see the wait staff for the duration of the entire meal.

    Haven't been to a las iguanas for a while, but enjoyed the trip here. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Food came out quickly and was a decent standard, plenty of food on the kids meals. Make sure to download the app and look for current offers

    Las Iguanas is a really nice place to eat. The people there are friendly, and the food is great. They have lots of choices for different diets, so everyone can find something they like. The service is good, and the whole experience of eating there is something I would tell my friends about. It's a good place to go and enjoy a meal.

  • 4/5 Tanya S. 9 months ago on Google
    We came for drinks. There is an excellent deal whereby we can order a #Hotlist drink and keep the glass, as part of the Happy Hour deal! We were welcomed by Victoria, who is a really warm and upbeat young lady. At the bar, we were served by Shaun and Oliver, who are both experienced, swift and friendly. The food is OK, but the people are super nice!

    Always a good time! Love the 2-4-1 cocktails and the portions and prices are generous and affordable! Happy holidays!

  • 5/5 James S. 10 months ago on Google
    Four of us went for bottomless brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Food, drinks and service were all good! They recommended everyone ordering the same cocktail per round and working your way down the cocktail menu in order. This suited us and often drinks arrived as you were finishing the previous ones. Only minor criticism was that upon being seated and ordering, we had to wait 20 minutes for our first cocktail. However, service after this was very swift!

  • 5/5 J. 10 months ago on Google
    The tapas were delicious and 3 tapas between two of us was enough of a meal. I especially recommend the Grande Nachos and Copacabana Cauliflower Bites. The waiters were lovely, and it was a clean, friendly atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Tracey P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to sit at 2 separate tables as half our party wanted the Bottomless Brunch and the other half didnt. We weren't allowed to sit together! Quite small portions included in the Bottomless Brunch, though plenty of alcohol! The main menu meals were also quite small portions but were nice. We also managed to find non spicy meals. Very quiet there at 3pm on a Wednesday! Pleasant and helpful staff.

    Good looking cocktails range but a bit pricy and mostly containing ice from ice machines that are not properly maintained, it had a bit of stale taste.

  • 5/5 Nikki s. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious spicy food with very kind staff who helped explaining menu to us as it was our first time here !

    Had a lovely night of Tapas and Cocktails with my partner, our server Bea had a brilliant personality which made the night even better! Food was great as always.

    A fabulous evening celebrating a birthday. Service was wonderful, efficient and friendly, ( didn't get his name but he had a great beard) . The food was excellent and the cocktails were amazing. Thank you so much!

  • 3/5 Laura M. 2 years ago on Google
    Normally love a Las iguanas but wasn't very impressed with this one, maybe they were having a bad day but seemed to be a few things they couldn't offer as they didn't have the ingredients. Honestly thought it was stuff you could have just walked to tesco to get for the time being. For example sour cream for fajitas, fruit for the puddings etc. The waitress was lovely but considering it was a weekday lunch time (seemed quiet) it was very slow.

  • 4/5 Rob S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely evening although the on line menu was different to what was available (i went originally for the goat and scotch bonnet chilli) but still managed to find something to eat. Staff were very friendly and very attentive. Definately will not be my last visit

    I was baffled that in the midst of a pandemic, in a huge setting, almost empty, all 4 tables of guests were clumped directly next to each other in a corner. The food and service was good but they need to do more to help with the nationwide effort to reduce covid transmissions.

    Walked in with the family on a quiet Sunday evening. After waiting in the lobby for 3 mins, the young waitress told us they were only taking bookings because they were short in the kitchen, and we couldn’t book tonight. Have used this chain many times In many cities over the years, but certainly won’t be returning to this one in Leamington.

  • 5/5 Alex J. 2 years ago on Google
    Sooooo yummy!! The food is full of flavour and I like how the jalapeño is sliced big enough to be put to the side if you can’t handle heat (unfortunately that is me). I recommend the fajitas stack and nachos!! Their mocktails are just exquisite too
