Food and ambiance was excellent. Drinks was also pretty good.
The staff was very polite and accommodating.
Will surely visit next time when we come to Powell river and we will recommend other too.

Iganus Mexican Grill is a fantastic spot for fresh, flavorful Mexican food! 🌮🌯 Everything tastes authentic and made with care — from the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh toppings. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is warm and welcoming. A must-try for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine!

This has got to be the most authentic Mexican cuisine I’ve experienced on the entire sunshine coast. The flavours were absolutely amazing. I recommend the tostadas! They blew my mind 🤤 The food was cooked to perfection. We had zero complaints. They had tons of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Their menu was large, but not so much that you get overwhelmed. A wonderful variation of options and flavors. The drinks are also extremely delicious here! The service is impeccable. The woman who owns this place has the biggest smile when she serves the tables and she always knows when you need something. I’ve never had such attentive service! The prices were beyond fair, and there was really nice patio seating. This has honestly been one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re in Powell River, you need to check this place out 🤩

Great mixed Mexican food from this lovely, family-run restaurant. Casual and very friendly atmosphere. We were served by Craig, one of the owners, who had a great sense of humour.
Genuine home cooked Mexican food. Our daughter had never eaten at a Mexican restaurant before and this was a perfect intro. Thanks Craig…we’ll be back.

❤️ Love Iguanas! Many different items on the menu to choose from, something for everyone, or more if a reason to keep going back and trying things.
I have been many times and will continue.
Thanks for great service and delicious food.

The food was ok and the atmosphere was great - the decor is fun and colourful, with flags hanging from the ceiling and murals on every wall. The service, however, was poor and left us feeling ignored. I really hate to think that all of this is because we were the only visibly LGBT+ couple in the establishment, but I really have no other idea why we received the treatment we got.

My wife and I were seated, our orders were taken, and that was pretty much the end of the customer service we received. It was lunch time on a weekday, so it wasn't too crowded, so I'm not sure what happened. We received our drinks and chatted, holding hands, waiting for our appetizer. While we waited for our food, we noted that every other table in the establishment was visited several times to be checked on, have their drinks refilled, checking on appetizers and entrees, etc. while they never swung back to check on us aside from very quickly dropping off our food.

I wasn't a huge fan of the horchata I received (I was expecting it to be sweet) and wanted to order another drink, but never got the chance. Our appetizer never appeared. Our food took 40 minutes and the server disappeared so quickly after dropping it off we couldn't make any requests, or ask about the missing appetizer. No one came to check on us during the meal either.

Every other patron who went to the till to pay was greeted, asked how their food was, and chatted with in a friendly manner, but we got barely a sentence. The servers also wouldn't look us in the face, which was incredibly strange. We paid, making sure the appetizer was taken off the bill, and left. My wife and I didn't feel welcomed and I don't think we'll be returning. Unless there's a good explanation for the treatment we received, I think we'll be telling our friends and family that this establishment isn't LGBT+ friendly.

Such an amazing evening out! The staff were absolutely great! So many gluten free options and such great service. I definitely recommend the tacos!

Came here during an off peak time so it was easy to get a seat. Got the enchiladas and was greeted by a whole platter of food. I’m not really a fan of beans in general but I must say I tried Iguana’s and had no complaints. Pricing is good considering that I wasn’t even able to finish it.
