Iguana Joe's Caribbean bar and grill — Restaurant in Oranjestad (city)

My experience was terrible because of the rude waiter that was supposed to take care of us. This is what he did, first: he didn't allow my husband to move the chair to avoid the sunlight going straight to his face, he said it was "forbidden" to move the chairs, so he made my husband to move the chair back, even though it wasn't bothering anybody. I was annoyed but still tried to let it go and ordered a couple of drinks to start. Second: I wasn't planning to eat, just wanted some drinks, so when my husband wanted to order some food only for himself, this same grumpy old man (the waiter) was lecturing us, again, that we weren't allowed to share, that we HAD to order something for each person.

🥑 Food : Food was delicious. Totally worth it. Definitely try - Arubiana keshi Jena and jimbalaya. Traditional Arubiana dish. It's pricey, but worth it. Keshi Jena was $22.

💰 Price : Apart from other dutch islands I been, Aruba is expensive. 2 of us ordered one dish each and one Pina colada which totalled to $55. Pina colada was $13😱. 💲Tip: tip is expected everywhere on the island. The waitress indirectly even asked for a good tip. Carry some small changes to tip when u are...

We (local) celebrated my daughter's birthday at Iguana's with a lunch after school. It was really busy, lots of tourists but we did get a table right away (lucky) and the service was quick and good. Our waiter and another gentleman (owner or manager) were very attentive to our needs and wishes! We even got a birthday desert with singing from the staff. My daughter was really surprised and said afterwards that the singing made her feel extra special on her day so THANK YOU for that! The food was also very good, we hadn't been there for a long time because of the pandemic and we are...
