What People Are Saying About Iguanas Taqueria

The Scene
Located near San Jose State University, just below a tattoo parlor, Iguanas is incredibly popular with downtown dwellers looking for lunch, dinner or a late-night gorge.
The Food
One word: burritos. The authentic Mexican wraps served at this downtown taqueria are monstrous. Luckily, they are every bit as good as they are huge. The carne asada is the best. Iguanas also offers excellent Mexican-style tacos with all the fixins'. The torta sandwich, a toasted French roll stuffed with meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream and guacamole, is a worthwhile venture away from tortilla fare.

I seriously don't know what that girl below is talking about. I've been going here for years and not once have I had any problems with their customer service. In fact, I would say that the person behind the register has always been friendly, outgoing, and cheerful. I love this place because of their hot orange sauce. I like it better than La Victoria because it's spicier and tastier. It is the bomb yo.

My favorite place downtown. The Nachos, Burritos, and Tacos are all excellent. Never leave hungry and great tasting. Don't need to cover up your bad tasting food with any color sauce. Also the employees are always extremely fast and friendly. I don't know what the girl's problem is other than she probably works at the other place around the corner and is jealous her food isn't as good.

I tried, I tried, and even tried a third time-I love Mexican Food, Absolutely LOVE IT...Love the idea of live music, outdoor seating...Lots of fun...But the customer service is less than ....ANYTHING...the first time I went in there- the girl was making out with her BF at the register [I am not one to get upset for waiting a few minutes, but I was about to scream]...I waited a good 3-5 minutes for them to stop slobbering on each other- I didn't say anything, just ordered...The next time I went in there, the guy was like a brick wall and was dumber than a pile of stones...The third time,- yes I tried them a THIRD time...I had a special order, STEAK, ONIONS, CILANTRO, TORTILLA...That is it... Paid the extra 50 cents or whatever- told her EXACTLY what I wanted...when my plate came out, and I had received ground beef that made me want to Ugh..I couldn't believe these people...I told the woman what I wanted AGAIN and it was like I was asking for her to make me a plate of Spaghetti or something..She finally offered me my money back very RUDELY- and that was it, I told her to keep the money since I didn't want their trash...Stay away from this place, they are rude, and their food is terrible....You are better off at McDonald's...Seriously...

Iguanas is a great place to visit before catching a flick at nearby Camera One or Camera 3.
After Midnight:
This is a prime spot for late-night eats. Iguanas is open until 3am on some nights and makes for a nice alternative to Jack in the Box.
