The "bad decisions make better stories" sign truly says it all! If you're looking for a brand new & unexpected pipeline to explore this summer, we highly recommend hitting La Iguana Azul before a coquettish splash in the pool at Great Kills Swim Club. Nothing could have prepared us more for a celestial evening dip than an order of guac and chips for the table, followed by al pastor & chicken tacos. To top it all off, the Miami chic interior decor is intoxicating (as were the gargantuan frozen margaritas). With a disco ball & highly literal neon sign in our midst, we were unstoppable.

I've come here many times and the staff is always very friendly, music is always great, and food is very good! I usually get the steak with onions and a side of rice and beans which is delicious. This time I got the pork and pineapple tacos which I wasn't crazy about. However, the rice and beans were very good as usual. Also, the chips with guacamole is a must have, it's so delicious and creamy! My partner got a mango margarita which came in a super cute skull glass, he said it was very good and strong! I will definitely be back to try some other options!

The food here is 5/5 delicious. I've always had amazing food here. I highly recommend ghe fried calamari appetizer- it comes with the most creamy green crema sauce to dip. I also love the steak and onions dinner and the steak tostadas. Sangria is a great drink choice. My only complaint and only reason why I give it a 4/5 total is because I've had bad service experiences such as slow serving experiences. BEAUTIFUL restaurant great ambiance

Attentive service. Great food. Beautiful decor. Large portions. Reasonably priced. Traditional Mexican fare and some Tex-Mex selections. Great ambiance. Don't wait like I did, go soon!

Fantastic dining experience. The layout of the restaurant makes you feel like you're in Mexico without having to travel. I always order the chorizo sandwich which is amazing but this time I wanted a hamburger and it was enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I once had a shot of Don Julio 1942, not only was the tequila great tasting but not as expensive as most would charge. They'll see more of my business in the future.

This place has some of the best meals you will ever see, its so amazing along with the customer service. A side note, one of the workers decided to show me a place i didnt know where it was, himself. would recommend the place

I was looking for a new place to eat while visiting my family in New York and took a shot with Iguana Azul. When you enter they have a lot of cute decor and interestingly EDM music blasting. They were very accommodating with our food requests. in terms of margaritas - they didn't have agave which was a little disappointing. We ordered the nachos, Tostadas, Huarache, enchiladas. Everything was delicious and fresh and portions were amazing. My only complaint was the enchilada sauce was a little too acidic/sour. Also the bartender was not as friendly, given we were a large group ordering a lot food. overall this is a 4 and I found a new place for my parents to try.

La Iguana Azul is one of Staten Islands best kept secrets. I found out about this spot from a friend and glad I did. We randomly tried it out on Fathers Day and it wasn't crowded at all. Located in Great Kills you really wouldn't notice it, and it's actually so underrated. The food is authentic Mexican and plain delicious. I didn't happen to get the name of our waiter but he was so friendly and funny, he also made a killer Jalapeño margarita. This is definitely a place I would frequent often, and the prices are great. Most of the island frequents another Mexican spot (which I frequent too) but this is definitely a must go.

Cannot rave enough about how much I LOVE this spot!!! La Iguana Azul is the place to be for authentic Mexican cuisine, as well as getting that real feel of dining in a Mexican Restaurant. The decor is on point and the staff is super friendly. We dined outdoors in their backyard seating which was beautifully decorated with colorful banners and plants. We had to start off with drinks, we specifically went for Margarita Monday. We ordered a Coconut Margarita on the rocks, as well as a Mango Margarita on the rocks and let me tell you, these were the size of our heads!!! & were one of the best margaritas we've ever had. We started with chips & guac as our app which was A1, the guacamole was so flavorful and creamy. As for our entrees, we ordered the Enchiladas and the Mexican style Quesadillas (Tika aka Chicken and Sauce). The food was delicious with every single bite, filled with so much flavor. We loved our margs so much we had to order another round of drinks, this time I tried the Strawberry Mojito which was just as incredible as the Margarita, with super fresh mint. Overall 10/10 experience, I cannot say enough good things about this spot. Check it out ASAP!!!
