Customer Review Summary
Bottomless tapas is what most reviewers come for, with the bottomless brunch close behind. Diners name the hot honey wings, pork quesadillas, calamari and Brazilian fried chicken, and one calls every tapas different and delicious. Others praise the chicken empanadas, churros and nachos with fresh guacamole. Cocktails get credit too, including the Paloma, picante and mango margarita. Service is described as quick and friendly, with servers who take the next round of drinks order as they deliver the last, so groups at brunch report no waiting in between. Complaints are smaller but specific. One reviewer found the cod bland and watery, while a burger was the better choice. A gluten free diner says the nachos do not taste gluten free, but the fajitas came on dark tortillas that were dry and tasted odd. Another was told to order three tapas at a time, yet the dishes arrived separately, so one partner watched the other eat. One reviewer adds that the windows needed cleaning, and one returned the next day to try a second dish.

“Lovely food and quick service. Couldn't decide between 2 dishes, so I ended up going back the following day to have my 2nd choice. Both dishes were fantastic, will definitely be returning next time I'm in Newcastle.”

“Dinned in at Las Iguanas for dinner and was immediately pleased with the fast service and fresh food. I ordered the pork and cheese quesadillas, chicken empanadas and padron peppers. The tortillas were fresh and crispy and every dish was filled with tender meat - full of flavour. The padron peppers were very bitter as opposed to the sweetness I was expecting, however they were a perfect pallet cleanser. The burritos were also packed and served with a side of nachos and fresh guacamole. Service was excellent- not only was it fast and friendly, but our servers stopped to chat about our dishes, how we found the food, and checking-in to see if we needed any refills - it’s a subtle touch that makes the dining experience so much more memorable. We were served by Abby, Even and another tall gentleman- everyone was amazing. We also got churros for dessert which was one of the best I have sampled. Would absolutely recommend Las Iguanas. - P.R”

“Had a Bogof offer for my birthday treat . Great service and warm welcome. I had the cod dish which was quite bland and watery but his burger was better choice- substantial and tasty. Will definitely get a burger when here again for another birthday do next month. Prices par for the course. Windows def needed cleaning, could hardly see out of them!”
