The only reason for 4 stars is there’s a funky mold smell at this place.

Authentic Mexican restaurant, very warm and friendly service. Sangria is excellent, love the shrimp fajitas, Mexican coffee really good too. I would suggest offering chips and salsa and if the music could be a little lower and less club like.

This Restaurant is the real meaning of an authentic Mexican food. We went on Sunday night for dinner for two people. When you enter the place you feel the touch from the decorations. We were seated and a menu was given to us. The waiter and staff are very polite and professional. The food were served 10 minutes sharp after we ordered. So here you will not wait long if you are hungry or in a rush. We ordered iguana tacos which were the best tacos i have ever had in my life for affordable price and fajita mix (beef, chicken and shrimps). The presentation is very good and the taste are perfect. Fresh ingredients is the key for the taste I believe. It was hot and full filing. The prices are little bit high for the fajita plate $28, but why to blame them with this high inflation and trying to make a profit. I would totally recommend this local business who is owned by a family who is working hard to give the best fot Staten island and to make a living. If you are near by Staten island or you are a resident you should consider trying this amazing place. And you will not regret it.give it a try

Party of 14 for my brothers birthday dinner at 6pm. Didn’t want to ruin my appetite so I didn’t eat all day looking forward to eat here. Arrived and quickly ordered the mezcal margarita and the best part of the evening. Margarita gets 4 stars. We ordered the calamari, chips and guacamole as starter. Calamari was bland and was like chewing on fried flour bitters. The guac needed salt,lime, and cilantro.cause it was also bland. When a Mexican restaurant can’t get the guac right says a lot about their food and a warning of what’s to come or expect. I ordered the shrimp fajita and to be honest it was decent after I added some salt cause it lacked flavor. Looking around the table and other families expression of their food they were not impressed. This establishment is a solid 3 stars but they lost another star for their service. One element I noticed here is that service, the waiter and servers were kids. I asked one of them how old he was he was and he said 16. I respect and commend kids wanting to work and establishments giving them the opportunity, but not on a Saturday night. How much experience can a 16 year have when asked for recommendations, not that I did. There were other staff that were older walking around from table to table kind off supervising. Not a place that left me wanting to come back.

La Iguana Azul was a great restaurant. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The food is amazing. The steak burrito is to die for. My son had the steak quesadilla and my wife had the chicken breast with rice and black beans. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing experience, from the atmosphere to the food. The prices were not bad at all and very affordable and for the amount of food and drinks you get it’s very worth it. 10/10. Will definitely be going again

Very delayed service with food that gave me an upset stomach. The place looks nice but dated and needs some maintenance. I would not go back again. There are many better options on Staten Island.

Went here for Cinco de Mayo, made a reservation for 23 people. We arrived at 6 pm and didn’t receive a menu until we asked for one at 7:15pm. It took an hour to get our first round of drinks, we finally got food at 9 pm. But this is all expected being how busy they were and it was cinco de Mayo,but then this is where it got worse… they had a DJ and about 4 tables of people including us were all just getting food hours after waiting, and they turned on smoke machines that blew smoke right in our faces. The older adults at my table couldn’t breathe and I am pregnant and had to stop eating and take my food to go because the restaurant became filled with smoke so bad from the outside it looked like it was on fire. Why would you fill a restaurant with smoke when people are just finally getting their food? The table next to us had to go outside for air as well and they still didn’t get any food at all. All they cared about was the 15 people at the bar having a club experience rather than the 5-7 tables of people paying good money to have a nice meal. Holiday or not, I will never eat here again. The manager or whoever he was knew I was pregnant , he walked by and hit me in the head with a chair he was trying to carry above me and didn’t even stop to apologize, and he never tried to consider people eating over making it into a club scene. I used to love this place, after spending $1500 on tonight’s meal I’ll never go back. Terrible experience from start to finish. .
