Located right in the heart of London near the London eye, it's a great spot for Mexican food.
I love Mexican food, and really enjoyed their tacos and veggie quesadilla. We also tried the Brazilian Curry with Halloumi and it was a pleasant surprise. It was my first time having it, and while it reminded me of a Thai curry, it had its own unique flavour that I really enjoyed. (I still prefer the Thai Curry though :p)
The only thing that disappointed was the loaded nachos and the cheese went sticky really quickly. But an amazing experience and would eat again at Las Iguanas.
We had booked for a late saturday night dinner after a concert at the Royal festival hall and everything we ordered hit the right spot! My favourite was most definitely the Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread)..honestly i had gone to have mainly that , an di was SO relieved that i wasn't disappointed. Will go back just for that maybe! :)
The calamari was very good too. The quesadillas and empanadas were good though not as 'crispy' as i prefer, but i recognise that is a personal preference. The churros with salted caramel sauce were crispy , light and yummy! The service was fairly prompt but Marios was the high-point - accommodating & helpful , with a cheery disposition even while being super busy!
The outside seating on a summer night was ideal - open & breezy!

I wanted to visit this place for years since it's based in such a great spot and today was the day.
I didn't expect authentic flavours but at the same time I didn't leave disappointed. It's decent food which serves the purpose and because I was very hungry and it was my first meal - visited after 5PM - I can't complain.
It's quite pricey, you'd get four tortillas for 22 quid but considering it's a premium spot, restaurant and the fact I could seat outside and observe people walking by, don't think it's expensive for whole package. Steak was a little chevy, onions tasted flat, and overall dish was missing some deeper flavour and distinct tastes, something to be remembered.
Place looks really cool and welcoming, they weren't super busy. All the best for the service, I could tell they still care and doing their best. Sorry I don't know your names but I was impressed with your work ethics.
Edit: Visited again 20/08 and it's still decent food. Good service from Jadwiga but not sure was she that sad, she looked like it, or was it famous polish smile. I should have asked.

Had a fantastic bottomless brunch at Las Iguanas in the Royal Festival Hall. The food was really nice, drinks were consistently delicious, and the churros were absolutely incredible, huge portions and genuinely some of the best I’ve had!
A special mention has to go to Linka and Rebecca, who were both incredibly attentive throughout our visit. Even though we were seated outside, we never had to wait around for drinks or service, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.
The atmosphere was great, with a lively but comfortable vibe that worked perfectly for a brunch with friends. I’d definitely recommend it for both small and large groups looking to have a good time, enjoy good food and drinks, and soak up a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

I went with a group of people on Sunday lunch time. It was very busy, but the service was good and accommodating.
The venue had a lively atmosphere. Great for friend and family get-together.
I had king prawn fajitas (£23) and a Diet Coke (£4.50) and both were sufficiently good. Fajitas would be better with more salsa sauce and guacamole.
