We had a lovely meal at Iguanas for our last night of vacation. Our reservation was at 6 pm and the place was empty - we would go later next time. We ordered an appetizer of garlic shrimp (delicious), a carafe of wine (should have gotten a bottle), and there was a couple of good rolls on the table with a chimichurri type dipping sauce. Then, we ordered the arroz con pollo and the salmon with a side of yucca mofongo as entrees. All very good. If you are in your 60’s + (as we are), my suggestion would be to order an appetizer or two and only one entree to share as portions are very generous. Other than that, a perfect evening.

Iguanas was fantastic. We ate there one night. The following night we went to another restaurant and walked out after being seated due to the bad atmosphere. We then went back to Iguanas! The food is great! Fresh, large portions and authentic!
