Jean CarlosFebruary 23, 2016Great 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 HilllJuly 9, 2016Very 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 PlateroAugust 28, 2017We 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
AnyaNovember 12, 2017Have 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 NicoleJanuary 6, 2013Iguana 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 IIAugust 7, 2014Amazing food and great nightlife scene for Latino music. Downstairs has an amazing bar and music
Harumi UJanuary 4, 2015A 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.
CarolMarch 27, 2022Cool venue— dinner and then club upstairs or downstairs. Gave a negative review bc the prices are overpriced in my opinion for the quality.- Iguana NYCJune 23, 2013Salsa Dancers.

Dolly WicksJanuary 10, 2015Friendly service, nice atmosphere, strong drinks. Salsa dance floor was fairly empty on a Friday night around 10.
Maxine CarrascoMarch 12, 2017come 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!

Mako RuanOctober 7, 2014Go listen and dance to Vince Giordano's Night Hawks on Mondays and Tuesdays.
DonnaMay 17, 2015Good 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 SantiagoJanuary 29, 2012Coconut Shrimp, Spicy Margaritas, And Salsa! What More Can I Ask?.... A BAILARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
