Great spot to hang out with your friends, eat, drink and dance . Friday & Saturday night are the best, where you can burn the calories dancing  after eating. The food is great and the drinks too.

Tina Hilll

Very lively happy hour scene. Mojitos are Delish!! Food is reg Mexican fare with great table side guac and chips . Good spot to meet friends and make new ones in bar area.

Tania Platero

We had a fun time celebrating our birthdays here! Waiters were polite and all staff in general were nice, great Latin music to dance , a bit expensive cocktails but there's always happy hour

Anya

Have been a couple of times to this place and enjoyed it every time. Love the idea that you can go dancing ???????? and party right after dinner .

Danielle Nicole

Iguana is a blast. If you like salsa dacncing this is the place to go on a Saturday night. The crowd is super friendly and full of amazing dancers who love teaching people new moves.

Ken Pierre II

Amazing food and great nightlife scene for Latino music . Downstairs has an amazing bar and music

Harumi U

A bit more attentiveness would be nice but otherwise food is good (like it that not every dish is drenched in cheese ) and price is reasonable considering the location. Very happening in the evening.

Iguana NYC

Carol

Cool venue— dinner and then club upstairs or downstairs. Gave a negative review bc the prices are overpriced in my opinion for the quality.

Great spot to dance the night away. Blue long island ice teas are strong as hell! I'm a drinker, I'm no lightweight at all, but I was good with 2 of these lol.

Really enjoyed the pomegranate-Tini! Replace the vodka with Gin and its even better! The staff was super friendly too!!!

Friendly service , nice atmosphere, strong drinks . Salsa dance floor was fairly empty on a Friday night around 10.

Howuf

Spent the nice dancing . Had such a blast.

Maxine Carrasco

come during happy hour for half priced drinks. The food was good but definitely not worth the price for just apps and drinks. Very small quesadilla for $16!

Sonia Gonzalez

This place is beautiful

Good Mexican food & on Fridays and Saturday night you can go to the lower level to dance and burn the tacos you ate there

Mako Ruan

Go listen and dance to Vince Giordano 's Night Hawks on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Donna

Good food but the service is HORRIBLE. Waiters never come by. Often they don't have thugs on the menu (like black beans ?!?) or they forget to make one of your entrees.

Betsy Santiago

Coconut Shrimp , Spicy Margaritas , And Salsa ! What More Can I Ask?.... A BAILARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Heather Eir

went last night w/ a large party & to say I had a negative experience would have been a vast understatement. worst customer service experience. will not be recommending nor returning to this location.

Arnaud

Listen to Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks on Monday's night!

Ana Prince

Ask for Isabel she's the best. I love this place

Liz O'Mara
