We decided to treat ourselves to a Saturday night out. Las Iguanas was our first choice, having not been for ages. The boyfriend called to book a table - 5pm or 9:30pm were our two choices, we picked the latter. Well, only reasonable, the rugby was on and it was a crucial Wales match. Anyhow, we arrived quite early and were directed to the bar where the cocktail menu was vigorously studied and the sangria punch was chosen, boyfriend had a beer. There was a slight mishap with the change, but all was sorted quickly and with many apologies. After rearranging our the tables a large hen do had acquired, we were then shown to our table. Near the back by the kitchen and toilets, we were directly behind one entrance to the bar, not to mention on the main thoroughfare to the toilets and with another large group occupying the table next to us, I did wonder if the boyfriend would be walked in to at some point. He wasn't, so all was good. We ordered, nachos with chorizo to start, chicken enchilada for me and chorizo con pollo for the boyfriend. Everything arrived quickly, steaming hot and very tasty. Service was attentive, obviously not too in your face for a busy Saturday night, but we were always checked on to see if the food was okay, did we want any more drinks etc...IMO, they got the balance just right here. The bill came to a very reasonable £38, which is darn good for two meals, two drinks and a starter, if I do say so myself. All in all, another excellent night at Las Iguanas, of course we will be going back!

4 of us showed up last night without a reservation and received a warm and friendly greeting. We firstly had a drink in the bar. The cocktails were of good quality (around £6.50 which I consider expensive but no more than you would pay elsewhere). A good range of tequilas also which I am a huge fan of. We were shown to our table and within a couple of minutes a member of staff was there to take our drinks order. We asked for a couple of minutes to decide and the waiter obliged, returning minutes later.we ordered a selection of food including nachos, chimichangas, chicken skewers and braised beef with sweet potato fries. Our food was fantastic, and our experience overall was excellent thanks to the warm atmosphere and great team working there. We definitely recommend las iguanas and will be returning on our next visit to Leeds.

WHY WHY WHY have Las Iguanas removed the passionfruit caipirinha from their menu? Travesty. Having recovered from this nasty shock, I settled for the standard caipirinha which is still very pleasing (though not as good as the...ok, sorry, I'm over it now). To be honest, I'd only get the cocktails during happy hour because they are blimmin' expensive otherwise, and not that big. Very tasty though. The food was good as usual, especially that amazing cheesecake. However, the service was a bit rubbish. It wasn't that busy, but we had to wait ages to order, and they forgot to bring us the bill - probably because we were served by a different person each time. The food came really quickly though. Overall, I still have a lot of love for this place, mainly for the food and the atmosphere. They JUST need to brush up on the service, and BRING BACK THE PASSIONFRUIT CAIPIRINHA!

Having been sadly turned away from one of my favourite lunch venues, since it was a Sunday, I came here with a friend for a bite to eat. Having been here before I knew what to expect - Latino, Brazilian, Mexican, Tapas and so on. I glanced briefly over the whole menu and quickly realised that I would be sticking to the lunch time menu, since everything else was getting close to an evening meal in both size and price! They have four or five interesting lunch choices on offer, all of which cost £6.90, and for an extra £1 you can opt for a small starter. Sweet potato fish cakes, a burrito, chilli and so on are on the lunch menu. I was rather boring today and chose a burger for lunch, with a chicken quasadilla to start. The quasadilla was beautifully cooked, and although really rather small, was to be the perfect size to whet my appetite. The burger that followed was deliciously cooked and very filling, with gorgeous mozzarella, a decent salad portion and some lovely fries. The spicy ketchup that came with it was also pretty damn good! Just what I needed for a late lunch. Service, if nothing else, was very attentive and whilst I didn't really mind being checked on quite so many times I can see that this would potentially irritate other people. Nonetheless, it was all very welcoming and smiley, and so it was all fair enough. The environment of the place is bustling, the music is easy listening and inoffensive, and there are hoards of cocktails on offer if you decide to start your night in here. All in all, a pretty good place to visit in Leeds!

I went into Las Iguanas after work one early evening feeling a bit grumpy. It had been a rubbish day. I'd got nothing done. I was frustrated. I came out feeling like Ricky Martin. Livin la vida loca. I do like Mexican food, that obviously had something to do with the transformation. But just being in Las Iguanas, which has real personality in not only its decor but the staff too, brightened me up and got me ready for the weekend. It's about a tenner for a decent main, which comes in a very hearty portion and as I requested, particularly spicy. It's not just Mexican, there are all sorts of latin american dishes from Brazil to Chile and back again via Argentina and the rest. There's something for everyone. Red and green should never be seen, except in Las Iguanas.
