Las Iguanas Wembley

Coming to Las Iguanas used to be a great experience — good food, good service, good atmosphere. Today was the complete opposite. I came with my mum for some tapas and it was disappointing from the start. We watched our drinks sit on the bar for around 15 minutes, next to six other trays waiting to be collected. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm — clearly left out too long and clearly not enough staff on shift. £8.50 per tapas item is a joke for what we got. Our waitress mentioned this location is “trialling” a new tapas menu. If this is the trial, it’s basically testing how far they can push portion sizes and still charge premium prices. I work in central London and for £1 more I can get quesadillas ten times the size. The buttermilk chicken was barely a third of a breast, the peppers were fine, the squid popcorn was honestly awful. Curly fries were okay but also lukewarm. My mum’s cocktail was so diluted it was barely drinkable. The spark Las Iguanas had five years ago is gone. The little details they used to get right — cocktail quality, food temperature, overall care — are terrible now. We ended up rushing to leave because it was just that underwhelming. Overall, a terrible experience. You’ve lost a customer, and I’ll be telling friends and family to avoid if they want a good meal out.

Lovely restaurant, love the food and the service was splendid! Having different cuisine options and being able to order a variety made it a great experience personally as a foodie. Claudia and Mala were so attentive, quick, efficient and friendly! Will definitely be coming back!

We initially came here to try out the cocktails which were delicious, especially the zombie passion fruit. We decided on a taco sharing platter, nachos, buttermilk chicken and bravas for four of us and was perfect, we even had some leftovers. Everything was really tasty. Great service and very efficient.
