Las Iguanas, Bristol

Well, this wouldn't usually be my choice of a place for an evening out, purely because of the mass binge-drinking culture that pervades this area these days (which is not my thing). However, I came here with my sister recently and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was intelligent and friendly and we found a comfy nook to sit and watch the world go by.
There are more hen and stag dos here than you can shake a stick at and it's all in good fun. We enjoyed looking at all the various themes, our favourites being the group of women dressed as Virgin airhostesses...'Virgin Oh how we laughed! ;)

It was disgusting. The food was bland to the point of being inedible. Salad looked as though it was leftovers scraped off anothers plate. Table was dirty. Glasses were dirty. Staff werte extremely rude,and tried to charge us twice for drinks. Very unprofessionall,not trained. My meal was snatched from me whilst still eating. All in all we went there for a birthday meal but it was ruined. I will be contacting them tomorrow to complain,although I don't expect much in reply,so maybe solicitors is the only answer.
I can only recommend you do not eat here,you'd be better served in macdonalds. And to think this pleasure cost us £160 + and that's without the champagne that turned out to be Cava for £5 a glass. The biggest rip-off I've ever come across,would NEVER step foot in there again.

Not sure about this place, would not go there again.

Soulless looking Mexican place, the food is unimpressive- it doesn’t feel at all authentic, but then it is a chain. The atmosphere seems to liven up as the night goes on due to the number of large groups enjoying birthdays and work do’s. There’s a decent cocktail menu, which is probably the place’s saving grace. Large jugs of Cuba Libre and Sangria are certainly crowd-pleasers!

Part of the Las Iguanas chain this one is nicer than many of the others as it is large and spacious and looks out onto millenium square and has a huge outside seating area for both the bar and the restaurant. This restaurant, like all the others, has a pretty good sounding menu but the food isnt really all that fantastic, and the restaurant is often overly busyand the staff too strtched making them rude and forgetful. However, if you go here just for drinks and not to eat, the experience is a much better one. They have got a fantastic cocktail menu - and for once you can get a caipirinha made with cachaca rather than rum. They are a little pricely but to sit out in the summer drinking away the evening with good cocktails makes a great way to catch up with friends. Dont eat here though unless you have to.

The food is a pale imitation of anything mexican and it is mostly bland and accompanied by curly fries. The drinks aren’t too bad but I wouldn’t go for the food. I had fajitas once and apart from the fact that the portion was small it was also lacking in taste. I had to add tobasco to get any sort of spice. The decor is fabulous!

Las Iguanas is a fantastic chain, and this restaurant is no exception.

The layout is larger and better than the one on Whiteladies road, so its able to cater for more customers.

The selection of tequilas is great, and its right in the center of Bristol so theres quite a lot of other nightlife about for afterwards.

Very nice food, but some of the prices were over the top. The side of chips is £2.50 and you get precisely 5 chunky chips for this. The staff were nice and the restaurant is clean and well run.

Las Iguanas is great if you like your food with a Latin American , African and Spanish influence. This fusion of different food genres has created some really delicious food ( my favorites the chimichanga , enchiladas or peri peri asado). But lets not leave out the tapas from the nachos to the bolinhos. The food menu is awesome. We move onto the drinks the cocktail happy hour will send you off in the right direction after work ( you can never go wrong with a pitcher of sangria or a mojito. The service is great , the food is great and you will be guaranteed a great experience.

A nice chain restaurant in a good location, situated by the harbourside and next to the x-plore centre with a view of the fountains and weird big silver ball thing.

The staff are very nice and helpful and they were extremely welcoming towards small children, providing my son with crayons and giving him lots of attention. The food was really nice and spicy but not too hot. Portions were reasonable but the side of chips was a terrible rip off.

This is a lovely restaurant with terrific food and drinks! in my opinion it has a lovely, original feel to the place that always gets me and my boyfriend going. i especially love their tropical orange cocktail as its light yet refreshing!

Part of a good chain but there is always a very long wait at the bar. Try the Whiteladies bar instead.

What an excellent place to eat. Even for little ones. We took our two young daughters here for a meal early evening when on holiday. The service was excellent and food very tasty.

Fantastic location looking over the square. And entertaining especially when somebody on the bike slide into the fountain - it was raining so the pavement was like ice.

I would recommend this place to anyone. It has an exciting and vibrant atmosphere, and provides a style and taste which I have never experienced before. The decorations are funky, the music is great, and the staff are helpful and friendly.

PLUS, if you're a student, and you know your www.studentbeans.com - you can grab an amazing 20% discount at this place. :D

I recomended prawn cocktail as an entrée. Nice staff.

One of my favourite restaurants in the world! Really great authentic food, lovely cocktails and a great atmosphere. The enchiladas are my favourite and always great, but the falitas are also amazing and very dramatic in their presentation. A great small chain, that are bringing brilliant food to the masses!

Las Iguanas has a sexy, vibrant and cosmopolitan feel to its Harbourside restaurant where you can take a culinary journey across the entire Latin American continent. There are some fantastic lunchtime and early evening deals, tapas, salads and plenty of veggie options. I'm a sucker for the shredded duck enchilada but the Sweet Potato Moqueca comes a close second; a Brazilian style curry of coconut, plantain, peppers, tomatoes, and palm hearts. Ay carumba!

The extensive Tapas selection is a great accompaniment to the equally extensive and exotic drinks menu. Smoothies and cocktails cha cha along with saucy tequilas and, for something different try a Brazilian Cipirinhas, a cocktail made from Cachacas, a distilled sugar cane based beverage. The deserts are out of this world and surely some of the sweetest I've ever tasted.

In a great location overlooking the bustling Millenium Square, I've sat in their outside dining area in summer watching hot air balloons drift over from Ashton Court against a perfect sunset. Fantastico!
