Absolutely fantastic! The food is delicious, portion sizes are extremely generous, brilliant value for money, excellent atmosphere and happy hour between 5-7pm - what more could you want?! Service is very efficient and friendly! If you want to eat there between 4 and 9:30pm make sure you book, it gets very busy and they quite often don’t have ‘spare’ tables until 10pm on Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays. Highly recommended!

beautifully located you may reach las iguanas crossing the bridge form embakment station, that sets you up for all an experience. i must say it is a bit noisy, and i do hate latin music, but appart from that the place is very pleasing, staff is friendly and helpful, which is cool, being the menu as complicated as it is, even for a spanish bloke.
take your time, there are a few gems hidden in the menu.
the brazilian dishes, xim xim and moqueca resemble a bit the indian curry, but with another concept of flavour. xim xim is a daring and nutty chicken dish...the favourite of pele, according to the menu. moqueca is a salmon dish, based on coriander and coconut that scored high for me.
many people will be tempted of fajitas. well, they are great, served in sizzling skillets, with tortillas for you to wrap it, or bunddle it ,depending on your skills. fajitas are a bit expensive, but you get the joy of handling your food ,mexican style.
then, some grills and meats. among those, lamb is just cool, a chunky shank to wolf down and not mess up wraping your stuff.
last of all, desserts, really really nice, the mascarpone with merengue is delightful. even you can ask for a single scoop of coconut ice cream for the digestion if you had enough. wines and alcohol plentiful. a good place after all. even after the bill, which won't be little

4 of us had a lovely Lunch here, the O2 is nice just to visit and wander around the main concourse, lots of bars and restaurants, we've been a few times for gigs/events and both times have eaten at Las Iguanas. They do a great deal on Cocktails at lunchtimes and a couple of Long Island Iced Teas (recommended) and I was starving...
Try the XimXim, kind of a curry/Satay feel to it, but lots of extras for a hungry person and it was wonderful. (supposed to be Peles favourite and I can see why) My friends food was just as good, dont have starters, the mains are huge. The drinks are not too expensive and the staff were really great, friendly and attentive. The music was good too. I can highly recommend this place.

This restaurant is a real gem on the South Bank. Specialising in Latin food and drinks, it has an amazing menu which contains everything you may want from bar snacks (nachos are excellent) and a variety of tapas to delicious main meals (ranging from an amazing brazilian curry to tender steaks and lamb), all at a reasonable price. Best of all is the fantastic cocktail list (the caipirinhas are fabulous) and the fact that on the 5 or 6 occasions I have been, I have always managed to get a table without more than a 10-15 minute wait. That said, it is still busy and vibey without being overcrowded. Definitely worth a visit!
