Las Iguanas at The O2

The Worst Meal I’ve Had in Over a Decade I visited Las Iguanas at the O2 today, completely unaware it was an event day. As soon as we sat down, I noticed how shockingly high the prices were — starters around £10–£12.95, and mains all over £18. For the type of food Las Iguanas serves, that’s incredibly overpriced. When I asked why, I found out it was an “Events Menu”, which I think is very unfair and misleading, especially for customers who aren’t even attending the event. The drink prices were equally ridiculous. I ordered non-alcoholic drinks, and even those were extremely overpriced. A mocktail was £11.95 — nearly £12 — for a non-alcoholic drink! How disgusting is that? The raspberry crush I usually get for around £3–£4 (normally two-for-one) was suddenly £15 for two, which is absurd for soft drinks. I only ordered a starter — the chicken quesadilla — just in case the food wasn’t great. Unfortunately, it was awful. The chicken had a strange metallic taste, the salsa was bland, and overall it was disgusting for £10.95. My brother’s chicken wings and fried chicken were cold and tasteless, and my sister’s tacos (with beef steak, prawns, and chicken) were equally bad — the steak tasted like liver. We were all incredibly disappointed, angry, and still hungry. I haven’t had food this bad in maybe a decade. This was, without a doubt, the worst food I’ve had in a very long time. Las Iguanas has completely gone downhill, especially for the prices they now charge. If you’re going to ask for high-end prices, at least provide high-quality food. Honestly, you’re better off spending just a little more and going to a proper restaurant where you’ll actually enjoy a satisfying meal. I would not recommend Las Iguanas.
