La Iguanita — Restaurant in Chicago

By far one of the best places in the neighborhood for great Mexican food! Let me start by the entire business has been amazing to me and my fellow co workers and the entire Amtrak work force. They take care of us. The staff are super nice and friendly, truly amazing people! It doesn’t stop there!! The food is just outstanding. Steak is steak not no fatty grisly steak like other restaurants use, this is true carne asada, the burritos are amazing. Tortas amazing, tacos generous portions, al pastor amazing, chorizo fabulous! The chicken isn’t bad not usually my go to I like shredded chicken and they don’t have that. But overall you will not be disappointed and if you are then you have horrible taste buds. Oh wait! I forgot their Avocado SALSA IS OUT OF THIS WORLD! It’s truly the best thing about them, it’s a trademark for their business. Please give it a try if you haven’t yet, weather you’re new to the area, passing by or what ever it is give them a try, and remember it’s cash only but they have a onsite ATM. Owners are great people! Thank you for keeping us Amtrak guys full, coming back over and over and most importantly being good people. Y’all...

Ventured down to the South side for brick and thought we'd give this place a try. It was the best decision! Service was great, our server was super friendly and helpful. And then the food came. We wept with the first bite. It was the best Mexican food we've had in who knows how long. The steak burrito nearly had too much meat on it (although my friends says that's impossible), the tacos had the best homemade tortillas (like, ever, seriously!), and the homemade horchata? Really, tears. There were tears of joy over everything we put in our mouths! The place might not be much to look at, but this place is one that you shouldn't judge a book...

Service is great. Salsa is amazing. DO NOT GET BARBACOA! Idk if they got a bad batch but trust me, stay away!! My hubby got Al pastor and said it was one of the best he has tasted! Thankfully I got a quesadilla (Asada) it was cute, made with corn tortillas rather than flour. The asada was delicious and full of flavor as well as the pastor. I would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for the barbacoa. I got a gordita which all was well except the meat. Never had barbacoa that was disappointing until now. Maybe a bad batch? I say stay far away from the barbacoa but I would for sure go back for...
