Iguana Bar and Grill

This place delivers a vibrant Mexican atmosphere that hits you the moment you walk in. From the lively music and colorful decorations to the rustic tables and authentic menu, the vibe is spot-on and truly immersive. The food itself was flavourful and well-prepared, offering a taste of Mexico that left us wanting more - literally. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, especially considering the price point, which might not suit every appetite. One notable downside was the lack of customization for spice levels. As someone who enjoys extra heat, I missed the option to dial it up. Service was a bit underwhelming. We arrived about 40 minutes before closing, and while the kitchen was still open, staff didn't seem too thrilled to have us. Understandable to some extent, but as paying customers, a warmer welcome would've made a big difference. Despite these hiccups, the overall experience was enjoyable enough to warrant a second visit. The food and ambiance are strong reasons to come back - hopefully at a better time for a more welcoming experience.

We’ve been coming back here for years. This is one of our favourite restaurants in Budapest. The food is always excellent. My favourite is the Steak Fajitas. Huge portions. And to mention the cocktails, oh wow. I never had better in Budapest. I love frozen margaritas and they always have a wide flavor selection of it. And other cocktails are amazing too. Try as much as you can. (Leo is the best bartender 🫶🏼) The waiting staff is always really kind. I recommend booking in advance cause they are usually really busy.

Absolutely delicious! The 'Fruity' cocktail was amazing, the homemade chorizo was fantastic, and our waiter was wonderful, patient, attentive, gave fantastic recommendations. Thank you for a phenomenal meal!

We ordered the nachos, which were supposed to have ground beef, but there was barely any meat as you can see, same with the burritos and tacos. They were mostly filled with veggies and other fillers, which was disappointing. The taste overall was mediocre. The only solid dish was the fajita, good portion size and the flavour kind of matched the price point. The atmosphere inside was nice, but the service needs work. Our mains didn’t arrive together some plates came 5–10 minutes apart, which isn’t professional. That said, the staff were kind and helpful. Not the most authentic or satisfying Mexican food experience in my opinion.

As close as you can get to real Mexican food here in Budapest, I prefer the carne asada over the chicken but so far everything I’ve eaten here has been delicious!

Absolutely adore this restaurant!! Have been going for over 15 years and it never gets old. The food is good, nothing spectacular, but the atmosphere really ties it all together. It is truly a family favourite Mexican restaurant that we go to at least once a year. The chicken tortillas are really good!!

Cool Mexican inspired restaurant in the heart of Budapest. We enjoyed some tacos for dinner 🌮 The restaurant was very busy, but the food comes out pretty fast. The tacos were tasty and the mojito was delicious. My only complaint was the server. She seemed like she wasn’t in a very good mood and was not too friendly.

Overrated place. The food wasn’t terrible, but the flavors were extremely weak and barely noticeable. I wouldn’t come back here, even if I were hungry. We tried the chicken taco, shrimp taco, and a burrito — all were very mediocre. Definitely overpriced for what you get.
