I'm not quite sure why people reviewers are comparing this with tex-mex available in California/Texas or even Mexico. Clearly it can't compete. However, now that I am living in Eastern Europe, I've changed the scale to find what's good for out here. And this is it. I've been to several "Mexican" places in Eastern Europe now, looking for a good... more

Went to it based on a review in our guidebook and were not disappointed at all. It was busy on a Friday night and we had to wait a few minutes for a table. The waitress mentioned we only could keep the table until 8pm (about 90 minutes) as there was a large group coming in. Even though we were... more

We've been living in Germany for 1.5 months. We're tired of sausage. We make our own Mexican food at home sometimes, but are so excited to try another place... well, we did. My husband ordered a margarita and it was quite strong and good -- but with table salt on the rim (okay, so it IS Hungary, not Mexico). I... more

This was fine for me as a vegetarian as it mostly up til here I had been eating cheese and vegetables but nothing here was great. Don't go here if you have ever tasted good Mexican food as you will be disappointed. more

Food is good (try the Fajita's), Margarita's can be excessively sweet, decent beer and wine selection. Inside can be smokey (the non smoking area sometimes is upstairs & smoke rises), and this is one of the few places I've seen people bring their dogs in with them for dinner. Have been a few times, mainly because the people we hang... more

Mexican food is not a highlight in Budapest and I guess you shouldn't expect it to be either. But if you have to have a Mexican fix, and you are not a gastronomic expert on Mexican food, this will be the place that you should come to. If you are an expert on Mexican food, then do not eat Mexican... more

Tourism hubs like Budapest are being invaded by standard, pre-packaged and processed fast food, tailored for one time visitors. This place, like many others, exploits the ignorance of the public and takes advantage of the tourists obsession with low prices over quality. If you appreciate fresh ingredients ove things unfrozen, coming out of boxes and cans, you will not eat... more

We stayed near the Parlament and tried Iguana because of its location and the fact that I love Mexican food. Well this was Mexican at its worst. I grew up in Southern California eating Mexican food from childhood. I don't think they use any of the typical Mexican spices at Iguana. The food was very bland. The salsa was not... more

I love Iguana! The chili is amazing, there's always good tequila and the atmosphere is lively and friendly. That said, it's gone down a bit in my esteem over the past few years, since more often than not, we had to share our space with 20 British meatheads on a stag tour. Also, seriously, why would a tourist go to... more
