Los Iguanas Newcastle - A mixed bag. Location over quality.
Los Iguanas Newcastle
On walking in I felt slightly unwelcome. No real welcome at the entrance just a curt request on whether we had booked a table and a rapid request to follow the person to a table. The person who served us was patient and helpful without being overly attentive.
Our drink arrived. My friends liked their beers and was I surprised to get 2 cocktails for one which were good and strong. The food was not great. It's not the worst Mexican food I have had in the UK but overall it was not anything to write home about. The Burrito and the Enchilada were packed out with rice, something I've never seen in either of these dishes and I'm guessing saves money on a filling of beef. the sides of sour cream, guacamole and salsa were pokey and small in a single dish on the side. The rest of the plate was filled out with a leafy salad.
Personally if you have a hankering for Mexican food I would say this is not the place.

Expectations exceeded- thank you Sarah, Newcastle Las Iguanas!
One of my favourite people and friend whom I’ve worked with for over 5 years is having her leaving do this evening at Las Iguanas Newcastle, sadly I was unable to make it due to being poorly. I called Las Iguanas Newcastle Grey Street to buy a drink for her, but as they can’t take payment over the phone, a wonderfully kind member of staff Sarah offered to give my friend a complimentary drink on my behalf. I’m both amazed at the level of customer service offered (on what sounded a very very busy night in the restaurant) and grateful for this really kind gesture, expectations exceeded - it has really made my night.
Fantastic service and as soon as I’m well, I will be there for another meal with my friend to celebrate her new exciting job. Thank you Sarah! You’re a star and you’ve made my night :)

Amazing waitress!
Olivia (Birmingham las iguanas temple row) is a really good waitress, she was really welcoming the last two times we came and she even remembered us! It was nice to be served by same person twice especially
Someone who is quick, efficient and lovely. Would definitely come back, especially to be served by Olivia! X

Newcastle restaurant
Went to the Newcastle restaurant. Staff were fabulous, really attentive and polite however, the restaurant was too noisy and an uncomfortable environment to actually eat in. Constantly being knocked by passers by and couldn't talk, as it was so loud. Can't fault the staff though, but the actual venue needs looking at. Food was lovely, but couldn't enjoy it due to the noise and movement around the table.

Overpriced (salty as hell) fast food
Only after taking an order they advised no discounts (cineworld or any other) would apply and they only offered a set menu. Having ordered, a salad for starters was clearly frozen and covered in sugary syrup or dressing I did not request. The main (chicken with amarillo sauce) was so salty it was unbearable - they did offer another dish but what’s the point, everything is covered in sauces and did not want to risk a night of constant trips to drink water. The total came at nearly £60 for 2 people - very overpriced for the kind of fast food kitchen this is.
If you want a cheat day your wallet is better off elsewhere.

A nice evening to cel rate the 2nd anniversary of our little girl.
Warm place and nice service from a lovely Spanish lady named Gail.
Awesome
Awesome food and drinks. And the waitress Gael was lovely, she can put a smile on your face even in your worst day. Loved by the kids as well.
Will definitely come back!

Nice place and lovely food
Nice place and lovely food. Our waitress Gael, was awesome and even try to speak in our language.
I totally recommend this place!
Where's the rest of my drink?
Will avoid this establishment in future. They made my drinks and took payment before informing me that they didn't have all the ingredients advertised. Surely half the content should mean either take it off the cocktail menu or sell it at half price...

Poor Service and food
I had dinner with my partner in the Bath Restuarant. Starters were microwaved and rubbery (nachos and mussels). We didn't chance the mussels as didn't fancy food poisoning. Staff were nonchalant and not really bothered whether we enjoyed the food or not. Our order was taken wrong and not rectified and no apology was forth coming. Mains were unremarkable and tainted by the poor service. Not one member of staff asked if the food was ok or came to check if we needed anything further. After paying our bill at the table there wasn't a member of staff in sight when we left the deserted restaurant. £80 well spent....to be ignored and avoid food poisoning!
Very clean
Easy, hospitable and spark off Mexican eating place. an amazing choice of dishes became subsidized up by means of the quality and taste you preference. The simplest area I wish to mark it down for was the antiseptic, artificial Latin soundtrack performed throughout the meal. The menu become so promising we would go back thankfully go back for a second visit.
