Iguana Mexican Grill

Had a great dinner at iguana’s the other night. Service was really good and was never in a rush for us to leave our table. All the chips and salsa was very fresh with lots of flavor. My bowl was very filling with lots of steak and everything else. Very hidden gem in Okc, definitely will be coming back again to try more great menu items soon !

Stopped in for a late Saturday lunch. The restaurant was clean with a fun atmosphere. Our waitress was nice but failed to refill our drinks and failed to offer a salsa or chip refill. There was one bowl of salsa to be shared at the table. We enjoyed our entrees which were grilled chicken chimichurri and an asada torta. Our sides were extremely disappointing. The green chile corn bread was cold as if it had just been pulled out of the cooler. It was extremely bland with no chiles in the batter. The black beans were also cold and had a strong taste of chili powder. We did mention the cornbread to our waitress but she did not offer another side. It was nice to try something new but it was an underwhelming experience.

I haven't been to Iguana in a few years. This used to be my go to restaurant back in the day. I was overall disappointed. The waitress was very unfriendly and not attentive. Ordered dip trio (was all very good). Husband I ordered the taco plate. My beans and potatoes were very good but the tacos were not. They were not very warm and the chicken fajita had a spice or herb in it that just tasted out of place. My husband got the green chile cornbread and it was ice cold. He asked to have it heated and they brought more that was literally burned black. :( I left sad as it didn't live up to my past experiences.

Food, atmosphere, and service was amazing... but the drinks... they were out of this world!!!!

The margarita was good. A little sweet but they use fresh lime juice and agave. Ordered the cheese enchilada and Burria taco with rice and Elote. Everything was cooked well and tasted amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Although they weren’t busy because I went between lunch and dinner. Would definitely go back. This was a place I stopped in after visiting factory obscura. Glad I did.

Food was off the charts delicious! Service is generally good (this is my second time here). First time service was 10/10…this time we had to contact another staff member to get our tab. However even with that the food was awesome and I will return!

This is a nice small enjoyable restaurant. Carlos was a real gem. He stayed engaged with us as our waiter. The food was excellent. So for this to have a free meal for federal employees as a thank you to us. I will be back again. And thank you for this wonderful way of showing gratitude. I will be back.

The food was flavor full and delicious! Drinks were great! Arrived during happy hour, so even better.😉 I ordered the Sangria Swirl Margarita and the Birria 🌮Tacos. The loaded queso was a yummy app. Already planning on coming back for the patio and drinks 🍹!!

Great food (my favorite is the bowls) and unbeatable service! They also have an awesome dog friendly patio!

Super warm in the restaurant but the bartender turned down the heat .The hamburger taco was soggy and the bartender gave me a fish taco to replace it . I was not impressed with the food . Good service very clean Has a patio lots of parking .

Iguana has great service again! I've always enjoyed the food and drinks, but the new manager seems to sorted out the hospitality side of things. I visited twice over the last month once for Happy Hour and once for dinner. Their HH from 3p-6pm is one of the best values around. I shared margs, queso and the corral snake salsa with friends. I went there for dinner before a downtown event because they're close to the highway and they have plenty of parking. The new management has done wonders for this classic Auto Alley spot!

Walking in on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. The heat was kicking at 78! The bartender was friendly and paid very good attention to us. Started work a blood orange margarita which I thought was too sweet. The perfect margarita was fantastic. The pork in the pork verde taco was dry but the chicken and fish tacos were outstanding. Very clean and located in Automobile Alley. Was spectacular to see the Christmas lights in the nearby buildings. Overall was a good experience and would definitely come back.

Called at 7:30. Said they were closing early. Manager said it was slow to close. Won't go back. That's ridiculous. Literally tried to put in a family Togo order.

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday place was pretty much empty...ordered chimchurri steak and chicken enchiladas...steak was chewy and tasted fatty and chewy....the chicken enchiladas was dry ...had a little flavor the rice and beans had no flavor and the corn bread was dry..chips and salsa was bland but the queso and habanero salsa was good..drinks was not that great! Will I return no! Service was okay! Ambiance was the comfy sofa type seating! Again l, Will not return unfortunately.

The tacos were so good! Tasty margaritas. Nice service. We had a room to ourself for a party. A little pricey but what place isn't anymore?

Stopped in with friends during happy hour. Enjoyed really good queso and a swirl. Servers were really on top of things, and our drinks and snacks were perfectly priced would come back here again.

Excellent Mexican food. Shrimp taco , cheeseburger taco , avocado chop salad, and fajitas are delicious. Helpful kind staff. Beautiful old restored building.

This was my third or fourth time stopping in! I got the steak and the carne asada tacos. Both were amazing. Service was 10/10 and quick refills. I definitely would recommend--really tasty and great value

Great service and great food. Rachel rocked always keeping our drinks flowing and brought more chips and salsa before we ran out. Fire salsa is the best. Tacos were good and so was the avocado chopped salad--lots of good stuff mixed in. Music playing was classic rock. Not a darn thing wrong until the check came. Wow, two iced teas, avocado salad, two tacos with rice and beans and fire salsa was $55 with tip. So much for a $25 to $30 lunch. Heck Fish Taco Tuesday we used to get 2 very large fish tacos with a small side of rice and beans for less than $10. Thanks Democrats.

Potent margaritas. Super fresh salsa. Guacamole that was made from avocados that were at their 15 minute peak of ripeness. Generous portions of the burrito bowls and iguana special. Friendly and attentive service. Definitely worth a try.

Salsa and chips are super yummy. Salsa is so fresh and chips went super well. Tacos are pretty delicious as well. The queso is lacking for sure. It tastes like melted american cheese slices according to my husband. Main thing that needs to be corrected is that they were slammed and only had One server. That does not seem right. We didn't get water refills and didn't get everything we asked for. Can't blame the server though she was doing her best. Service always seems to be kinda lacking here though

They were probably understaffed, so service was slow, and it didn't help that they were busy during lunch hours. Decent queso, but it's runny. I had the carne asada taco and a side of elote. Our server didn't give us silverware, so we spent a couple of minutes looking for her. I wished they had warmed the tortillas. The taco was flavorful, but the meat was greasy with a lot of liquid. The elote was okay and had a kick to it. Overall, slow and inattentive service while the food was unimpressive.

Iguanas is one of my favorite places in okc! They food, drinks, and service is always good! Great place to pop in for lunch or to celebrate any occasion! They have a small patio that is great when the weather permits!

We always enjoy the food here. The salsa is well blended and has an excellent flavor and I always get a pint to take home. I had the chicken enchiladas and they never disappoint. Service is always attentive. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for drinks. Cute place the bartender Was nice. We had the Sanderson Sisters margaritas.. we both chose Sarah, and they were sweet!!! Chips and salsa were delicious, the salsa was not spicy at all but it was flavorful!

Loved this place! It's very quite and nicely decorated. Has a nice laid back fun vibe to it. Chips and hot sauce were great. I got the two taco plate. One roasted cauliflower and one carne asada. If I knew how good the roasted cauliflower taco was going to be, I would have gotten it for both tacos. I loved everything about it. It was a house made thick corn tortilla with diced up roasted cauliflower topped with pickled cabbage and crema. SO DELICIOUS. The carne asada was also good too but nothing compared to the cauliflower. I got the green (cilantro) rice and retried beans. Also both very good. My boyfriend got the nachos and he seemed to like them! I don't think they stood out as anything special but they were solid. Service was great. I I'll definitely be back here.

The customer service was great! The food however needed work. The birria tacos were okay but the Saudi was thin and watery. The green rice had no flavor and was cold and bland. The burrito was okay but was not what I ordered. Ordered the pork carnitas burrito and received the chicken. The Mexican potato's were cold and unseasoned. Overall 5/10 just because their server was amazing and super nice and helpful.

It was okay. Service was good enough. I had the chalupa nachos. Nachos how they should be but very little meat. The appetizer salsa, queso, guacamole was good. Meh....

This food is always good. Hadn't been here in a while. Not because it's not good, but because I can't be eating all these chips. The salsa alone is almost reason enough to come here. One of the best salsa's you can get in a restaurant. I got the pork burrito. It's so good. Really like it with the rice and beans. We also got some avocado which was good. My wife got a salad and she enjoyed it. Just an overall good place for lunch or dinner. I've never been disappointed with Iguana Grill.

Great food but hit and miss service. They lost a party today because we aren't waiting 10 minutes after opening for them to unlock the doors. Poor management all the way around

Horrible service. I made a reservation and we arrived on time and nothing was prepared for us. The waiter never actually introduced herself and never came by but to drop off orders. We always had to waive her down to receive any assistance. I've been to this place many times and I've never seen such horrible service before. We had to keep asking for obvious things. More plates, remove old ones for the new ones, silverware, etc.

Consistently good meal. Our office is across the street & we frequent Iguana. For this trip, we were celebrating a collegiate who lives out of town. We ordered drinks, queso, guac & salsa for the table. Usually, I have the avocado chop salad, but today ordered a couple of tacos, carne esada & fajita chicken. The carne esada will be something I order again, it was so good! The fajita taco was packed, but mostly with peppers.

The service was friendly and attentive and atmosphere was fun and inviting. Since it was a Friday during lent, I ordered a fish and a shrimp taco with a side of fries. The fish taco was colorful and had a nice blend of textures with the soft flour tortilla and the crispy fried breaded fish. However it seemed to lack flavor. The shrimp taco was ok too. The fries were thin, crispy and tasty.

Been a fan of iguana for a long while! Visited with some friends last night and wasn't disappointed. I absolutely loved my cheese enchilada with sour cream sauce (highly recommend!). My friends had the tacos and chicken enchiladas which they enjoyed as well. The complimentary chips and salsa is always fresh and the perfect start to an iguana meal!

Salsa is great. Service was almost OK. Food was above average. Five of us went for lunch. We wanted to sample the salsa trio (with great names, I might add) but it never showed up. Our waiter did notice this when he was finally tabbing us out. I had the skinny burrito which was A-OK but know it is more of a wrap than a burrito. I would order it again especially with the sides of the elote and grilled veggies. (Seriously, you must order the elote here.) Others had the nachos (HUGE), enchiladas, a smothered burrito and the chopped avocado salad. I would order the salad on my next visit. I do love the surroundings and the vibe here. But, given the chance to eat lunch anywhere in this area, I would choose elsewhere. That is not necessarily a slam against Iguana, there's just a lot of great places in this area. (Just reading they're under new management so I will give it another try.)

Not sure what happened but food is not as good as it used to. Got the coral snake and it smelled and tasted really bad. I have had a bad stomach ache since I ate here and another person got food poisoning. Will not be eating here again which is unfortunate because this used to be my favorite place.

This is our favorite place to eat! Never ever disappointed! The food is amazing, great cocktails and margaritas, the ambiance is great, and the service is outstanding! You can't go wrong!

After waiting an incredibly awkward 7-8 minutes at the hostess stand and being ignored by at least 4 different employees - one server noticed us, started to walk away, came to address us and then left us again to see who's "turn" it was to get a table. I could understand all of this if they were slammed - but the restaurant was empty. Needless to say, we left and went to another Mexican restaurant about 3 minutes away. I had read reviews that Iguana isn't as good as it used to be, but was willing to give it a shot - sadly, I'm afraid those reviews were right.

Located just a few miles from the State's Capital, this is a great stop for a bite to eat!!! The salsa...the first item I judge a Mexican restaurant by...was delicious..uniquely seasoned. Our table ordered the dip trio: I tried none of those as the salsa was enough for me. The waitress assured them none of the dips were fiery hot...well everyone has their own opinion as to what that term means and those who indulged did not share the opinion of the waitress we all ordered tacos...I didn't hear a single complaint. The beans were scrumptious as was the fresh pineapple side. Our waitress was patiently informative and all ten of us was served in a timely manner. I'll be back for a visit when I'm again in the area.

Good food and cute ambiance! I liked that we came in on a Saturday night and there wasn't a wait!

Delish! Great queso and salsa, and the chimichanga was fantastic! Highly recommend the elote as a side as well! Would go back again for sure!

We love the iguana grill. Food and drinks are yummy. We have experienced great service here and slow service but we will still return as I know it's hard to get waiter/waitress these days!

Had dinner on Feb. 27,2024 Ordered 2 Fajita Tacos, one chicken one steak. Meat was bland and no taste. Worst Fajita tacos ever. The need to rethink how they grill their meat for tacos.

This was my first time here. Food was bland, not something I'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. Had three different tacos; fish, shrimp and chicken, beans and rice, none of which stood out and said "Come back and eat this again!". I usually can say something good. Unfortunately, C- is about as good as I can do. With all the great choices of restaurants, I'll try another restaurant next time I'm in Bricktown.

You really can't beat the prices here. There's rarely a long wait, the food is good, and the service is usually fast. I usually skip the menu entrees and go for a side of beans, rice, tortillas, and guac. The vegetarian menu items are limited. I'm a HUGE fan of the guac and tortillas- I could eat just those two items every day and not get tired of them.

This is the queso I needed in my life so good gewey goodness The salsa trio is super hot food was great loved it

Absolutely amazing food. I am someone who usually does not like Mexican food but I genuinely enjoyed the Spicy balanced with other great flavors. The atmosphere is very trendy and there are many drinks available as well. Would definitely dine here again!

Tracey is the best waitress at iguana always smilin and never do we need anything, always meets our needs. Makes some awesome drinks also

Iguana has really grown on me. You have to know what to order. I tried the traditional Mexican items, like enchiladas, and I wasn't impressed. Here, you have to order nontraditional food. The chicken tortilla soup = excellent. The salads are fresh and delicious. The restaurant is huge, and they can fit a lot of people. They don't always have enough staff at lunch, so the servers get bogged down and forget little things. It's one of the best Mexican food options downtown, as long as you ignore the little flaws and skip the enchiladas.

Delicious variety of tacos with really quick and friendly service. Iguana has a hip vibe and delicious margaritas. We would definitely return if we lived closer. It was a great find that had a pretty decent sized lunch rush.

Been coming to Iguana for years not sure why I haven't wrote a review yet! First and foremost their queso is amazing PLUS if you check in using your yelp app - you get a free cup of it! This is definitely better than their salsa which used to be much better than it is today. I usually always go on their taco Tuesday special which is now $2 tacos for mini tacos get yourself at least 3 or you're going to be leaving hungry... their chicken taco off the $2 menu is amazing that orange dressing whatever it is, don't let it fool you - you'd eat a side with chips if you were able to! the pork one I got was awful I only took one bite it was just all fat. the chips are great not overly salted or overly greasy. customer service is always attentive and just an all around safe spot for a casual lunch or dinner.

Great food at great prices! The place is cute, clean, and our server was top notch. I had a beef quesadilla and my friend had a fish taco and a shrimp taco. The chips were fresh and the queso and salsa were yummy! It was a funky little place that is definitely worth the trip!

Used to love this place before Covid, this was my first time back and it's seems really bland with small portions now. Almost 60 dollars(with tip) for some queso, a two taco plate and an enchilada(super small enchiladas) plate seems a little much. Food was definitely seasoned by a white guy or gal, very bland. I get a chance to go out once a paycheck and pretty sad I spent my money on this place. Plus getting constant eye rolls every time I needed something from the waitress was pretty infuriating. I would recommend San Marcos off of 59th to anyone that wants to pay for food that's worth it and not get eye rolls constantly.

Went for Taco Tuesday! Plenty of seating in this deceiving spacious restaurant. There is demand for a larger parking lot size. Tried all the tacos on the Taco Tuesday menu which not only included tacos but also nachos and drinks for a great price. The complementary chips and salsa were great! We had a heaping bowl of salsa contrasting to the typical ramekin Carne asada Taco 5/5 - definitely worth the extra cost. Balance of flavorful and juicy steak with a slice of fresh avocado and sauces Chicken Taco 4/5 love the light taste. Not much sauce if you're not a fan of it like I am! Ground beef Taco 3/5 a tad too salty and saucy for me. Much rather prefer the other 2 tacos. Looking forward to coming again

Service wasn't very good , maybe short staffed and food was not very good. Waited forever for drinks and food. This place use to be great and it has gone downhill unfortunately or we just went on a bad night.

One of my favorite OKC spots for Mexican food! Anytime I'm in town I try to go here for a great meal. Their queso and salsa are absolutely delicious. I typically like queso more but their salsa is amazing. They have some great vegetarian meals, including a large avocado bowl complete with rice, black beans, avocado, corn, cheese, and you can have meat added if you wish. The food is flavorful, the service is great, and their cocktails are well mixed. It's also a fairly "hip" place to have a meal if you're showing a visitor around OKC. Very cool aesthetic and bar area as well.

I love Iguana Grill! I got their Chalupa Nachos and they were DELICIOUS!! The fajita chicken was juicy and fresh and I loved their guacamole... The only downfall is that we came as a large group at lunchtime (with a reservation) and the wait staff took forever. But they were still nice and we all enjoyed our food! The atmosphere is edgy and youthful, you can come here with a small group of friends or a large party. Their menu items are traditional Tex-mex but with a twist-- they have different assortments of quesos, tacos (street tacos, too!) nachos, burritos, enchiladas, and more!
