The setting is relaxed and open-air, but the highlight of the night was the service—truly top-notch and incredibly attentive. We started with the vegan meatballs and the sampler platter, both solid choices to kick off the meal. For mains, the mofongo stole the show. You can choose (if available)between yuca or plantain as the base. My mom had hers with steak, Elliott opted for the garlic shrimp, and both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I went for the chicken chicharrones with a side salad—crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Iguanas might be casual, but the food is thoughtful, and the service takes it to another level. A great spot for a laid-back dinner that delivers on flavor and hospitality.
