Senor Iguana's

Senor Iguana's... I know it can have mixed reviews.  My experiences have varied over the years, but I still come back, so it must be good enough... right?

I've waited here occasionally, but generally I have been seated almost immediately upon arrival, which I like.  This is never friendly to my Weight Watchers, because when you arrive, they'll put chips and salsa... and the best white sauce/dip!!!... on your table.  I still have no idea what that white dip is, but it is addictive!  Yum!!!

Fajitas are my personal favorite here, or rather in general.  Nothing different than other Mexican restaurants I've been to for the most part.  Pretty consistent on how they're made, and if you go at lunch, you can get a lunch-sized portion (which is still more than enough).  They do have a lunch menu, which is nice.

However, the majority of people I know get the chimichanga here.  My taste buds have actually never met the chimi, but everyone seems to love it.  Now I think I'll have to try it sometime.

Otherwise... the service varies.  Sometimes they're on it; sometimes they're not.  I drink a lot and like water refills; sometimes I get them quickly... sometimes I don't at all.

I'm between a 3 and 4 on this review.  There's nothing "bad" about it, but it's also nothing super out of the ordinary.  I enjoy it and will go back (soon, I'm sure), but there are better restaurants in Louisville.  But that white dip... mmm...

Not being native to Kentucky, simply a visitor, our hosts were given the task at finding us somewhere tasty to eat. Our first stop, to Chuy's, yielded an hour wait time and, having driven 12 hours, we were hungry and unwilling to wait, so we drove a little bit until we came to Senor Iguanas.

We were in luck, no wait there. Were seated promptly, but that was about the only thing that was prompt. We put in a drink order, we didn't get any of our drinks, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, for over 15 minutes. The restaurant was crowded but not so crowed that we needed to wait 15 minutes for drinks. And we still hadn't put our order in. We put our order finally, after waiting roughly 30 minutes. It took not too long to come out, but we didn't see our waiter again until we had been eating for 10-15 minutes. We were all low on drinks, it would have been nice if we could get  a refill to go with our spicy food.

To finish it all off, we asked for the check and that took our waiter more that 15 minutes to bring to us.

To sum it up, the food was delicious, but if I ever go there again, I would order the food to go and avoid dealing with the service.

Good Mexican food! I like to go here after class with my UofL classmates and they are always able to accommodate a group whether it's two people or twelve. Try the carnitas! Oh, and with the chips and salsa they will also bring you a bowl of white sauce that I haven't had at any other Mexican restaurant. Kinda like a twist on ranch...not sure what it is but it's good!

Drink specials vary by the night, but in my experience, I'd recommend not ordering their mojito...it tasted like sprite with basil in it. Maybe they got mixed up on which liquids and herbs are part of the recipe? Stick with the margaritas or their beer specials.
