To be completely fair, it was my first time and it was also a Saturday night so it was quite busy, however, we got there and immediately got served our drinks but then had to wait another 30 minutes just to order starters, and then another 20 to order our mains, the food was delicious, hot and fresh, overall the food was high quality and the portions were big but it's a little bit expensive for me personally, so are the alcoholic drinks (they're average prices is £10 for a cocktail and the mains are average £16-£20) the atmosphere also was a big let down as it was quite loud and a little cramped. (I might change this review if I ever go back for lunch) Ultimately, the food is amazing, portions are big and tastes authentic, however the service was the biggest negative, it's just too slow, and the prices are a little expensive personally. If you want to try authentic Mexican/ south American cuisine with a lovely atmosphere at an affordable price range in Leicester, I'd recommend bodega cantina.

Underwhelming Went here on Saturday morning for bottomless brunch, not a lot of atmosphere. The waiter left us for at least 15 minutes at the start of the time allotted for our booking and we had to ask to get served drinks after this. Every round we ordered took at least 9 minutes to come and the cocktails tasted very strange. Ordered an empanada to start with sticky chilli jam. It came with ketchup instead and when I asked if I could get some of the jam I waited for 10 minutes to be told that they didn’t have any of the jam and hadn’t bothered to tell me prior- clearly hoping I wouldn’t notice. The food for mains was underwhelming with the enchilada being surrounded by unappealing black beans and at no point were we asked if everything was ok with our meal. Usually such a brilliant venue with good drinks so I’ve no idea what happened on Saturday but I won’t be going back any time soon.

I normally like Las Iguanas and I have had many positive experiences there (Leamington Spa and Coventry), but this was not one of them. The service was slow but that's okay because they were understaffed. To begin with, our virgin piña coladas were not strong in their coconut or pineapple flavours. The Mexican poppadoms and fries were fine. However, the mains were too spicy, even for someone who's used to really spicy food. One was manageable (veggie enchiladas) and the other was inedible (no goat curry) because of the spice level. We sent it back after a few bites and didn't wanted it replaced but we still got charged for it. The churros were very delightful but the dulce de leche sauce was to runny. Atmosphere wise, the music was too loud though this expected for most restaurants now. I will probably go to Las Iguanas again, but will give the Leicester branch a miss.

Not much of a celebratory type of person, but today decided to book Las iguanas for the bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday.. They say on their website its the best bottomless brunch in Leicester.. I got to say, spot on and it wouldn't have been without one person who made the experience memorable, Riah! You really looked after us, made us feel welcome and felt more like being with friends at home than a restaurant.. The drinks kept flowing and the whole experience was top notch.. Thank you, Definitely recommend the bottomless brunch well worth the money and the service, what can I say, amazing!
