Long live Iguana! This is possibly the first Mexican restaurant to have popped up here in the city center, and it's been good all these years. My go-to's: tacos al pastor & fried ice cream.

Very good place in town, fresh and deep mexican flavors, perfectly balanced frozen margaritas and friendly staff. I highly recommend. Pricing is in the medium-high range. Ambiance is quiet in summer.

Best of Pest!!!! Excellent homemade tortillas. I am so happy I found this place it is the best Mexican food I've had in Europe and our waitress was great! I will definitely return! Like next week! :D

Good Mexican food for Central European standards. Waiters are attentive and a bit older then the usual 20sth you see in most Bp places (yay!). Very good drinks. Cozy and homey place. Pet-friendly!

Ask for Diána - she took terrific care of us. Skip the margarita and go right for their house beer with salt & lime. Rated on Untappd! Appetizer for two is super, jalapeño soup as well.

Pepino picante cocktail, tacos al pastor & corn chowder soup... I am one happy camper. Oh and the tacos already include guacamole the way real tacos should!!

The best Mexican restaurant in Budapest. The beer with salt and lime is really tasty! I love the combo plates (plate with one enchilada, taco and a burrito).

A very cute place, the food was delicious and the waitresses very friendly, make sure to try the chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert, it was incredebly tasty

I decided to have the two most cited things in 4square: Margarita & fajitas. I can confirm you can’t go wrong with them. Both delicious.

Great atmosphere,great food,great service. Jalapeno poppers are hotter than expected still amazing with that sauce. Iguana brownie is a must! The burrito with mashed beans is awesome!!!
Enrico De MaioJanuary 26, 2016
Nice Mexican food one of the best in Budapest. If you ever never tried Mexican before this is the right place. Try Combo plates to have a bit of everything
Marco MarquezMarch 13, 2024
The food here is delicious, is the only Mexican food here in Budapest that really got the Mexican flavor. I’m Mexican so I approved this place.
Eleonora MartaFebruary 9, 2016
I really like this place. Food is really good, nice service and I just looove their jars of Strawberry Margarita! It is nice to sit outside in the summer time.
József VeszaOctober 14, 2014
Broad selection of foods (vegetarian and less spicy options are also available). The quality of both the meals and the service was great, would definitely recommend the place.

A házi tortilla chipszük páratlan. Kötelező előétel/sörkorcsolya a chipotle salsával. A házi sörük is kiváló! Homemade tortilla chips w/ chipotle salsa 2nd to none!¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba!

Kid friendly! They helped with a high chair and brought extra plates so we could share (my daughter was too small to get a meal on her own). We made a mess but the staff was very nice about it.
Elina StrokinaJune 26, 2017
Portions are enormous, take it into account when ordering or you will end up not finishing really delicious food!
Ilana ZholobovskyJuly 29, 2015
All the dishes were great. Big portions, food and drinks. Good location. Not cheap but fair prices for Budapest.
Lizette PerezOctober 27, 2017
I had the pastor tacos & they came with handmade tortillas... that's how good this place is.
Dávid PélyiNovember 8, 2017
Love the Mexican dishes some of them a little bit overpriced. There is a great choice of tequila. Table reserving is necessary.
Chris Claud DayJune 30, 2019
Starters wondeful. Sweetcorn chowder epic and nachos hefty portion. Rest was below average. Uninspired tacos and burrito, refried beans delicious. Ranked as best Mexican, but could be much better.
Rudi JakobsAugust 10, 2020
Absolutely fantastic, everything. Food, Cocktails, Service. Make sure to reserve a table.
Irass SAugust 20, 2017

Note that they serve Gusto Palinka! Do try one after dinner (or before!). Wish they also had the barak/apricot too.

If you're in the mood for something awesome, order the fajitas! It comes on a sizzling-hot metal plate with assorted goodies!

Classic texmex restaurant since more than 20 years. 7/10.
Anastacia OvodJuly 1, 2018
Wonderful place, great staff. But margarita is the best:)
Zoltán KeresőSeptember 10, 2014
Finest Mexican eat-out in the city. Perfect place to start off the evening. They serve Budweiser too.
Filip CernakJuly 10, 2016
It's not the best American/Mexican restaurant in the world, but it's pretty good. You won't be disappointed.
KrinyaAugust 17, 2011
The best tex-mex cuisine in town. Little bit expensive, but worth it! Jalapeno poppers and the whoop-ass chilli are recommended. :-)
Petr ZavadilJuly 16, 2016
Fajitas, quesadillas, margherita, michelada and many more
R FarmerSeptember 20, 2018
Jalapeño poppers, Cadillac Margaritas, steak Fajitas. Best atmosphere in town.
Petr SkovajsaFebruary 27, 2012

The food is tasty. Big minus for the laud modern music (not even authentic).
Sebastian AndersenJuly 1, 2013
Go here. I was here 8 years ago and it was good. Now its even better. Well worth a visit.
Sakis KotisisAugust 18, 2019
Fajitas were passable, but the person who's prepared the meal has only seen how it from a video. Was given a knife and fork to eat fajitas ffs! Only 3 fajitas included (!), rest were charged extra!!

House made tortilla chips and tequila cocktails are great, service could be a bit friendlier.
