Had a fab evening here with friends last night. A lovely venue and atmosphere.....everywhere was clean, tidy and well laid out with nice nooks & spacious areas to dine. The food was delicious,plentiful and well presented (we tried just about everything on the tapas menu). Service was excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We finished the evening with some excellent cocktails! Def 10 out of 10, can highly recommend and we will be back soon! Thank you to the team for such a lovely night.
Came for a bottomless brunch- served by Connor. Fab service and attentive with drinks and getting moneys worth. Good selection of drinks and cocktails available. Thank you Connor!! Food was good, nothing overly special but still very nice. Chilli was good but lukewarm warm when served Good vibes and atmosphere. Would recommend!
Las Iguanas – 21 Back Swinegate, York, YO1 Visited: 18 November 2025 We had a lovely visit to Las Iguanas in York. Upon arrival, we were greeted straight away and shown to our table with no wait. Rachael and Shannon looked after us throughout the meal, and both were polite, friendly, and attentive. Our starters and mains arrived in a timely fashion, and the food was very enjoyable — we especially loved the starters and could easily have ordered them again. Each table had bottles of Cholula Original and Chipotle Hot Sauce, along with salt and pepper shakers, which was a nice touch and complemented the dishes well. The ground floor had an easily accessible disabled bathroom, and the main ladies’ and gents’ bathrooms were located upstairs on the second floor, where there is also additional seating and another bar area. All bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained. A friendly team, good food, and a well-kept restaurant made for an enjoyable meal. I hope this honest review helps others make an informed decision.
It was my first time going and Rachel was fantastic! She was lovely when serving me and my partner. We also accidentally booked for main menu but wanted to book for brunch but Rachel resolved this with no issues. Great service, thank you
Simon is the most incredible server I have ever had. We came for a bottomless brunch for my birthday and he made sure our drinks were always filled, food was coming. He made our visit here impeccable. I would highly recommend. Worth every penny
