Do not waste your time or money!

We went to the branch at Stratford Westfield. We had two of the "happy hour" cocktails which still cost £7 each. They were vile! Some pre-made cheap junk, we couldn't even finish them. But there was worse to come - the food! We ordered two plates of nachos, one plate calamari, one plate beach cheese and patatas bravas. There was scarcely any sauce, cheese etc on the nachos and the nachos had no flavour. Both the calamari and the patatas bravas consisted of tiny overcooked balls with no distinguishable flavour. The cheese was nice. The bill for this pile of rubbish was £75 as the service charge is automatically included and to be fair the waitress was nice. Never ever again!!!

NOT Mexican nor Latin American food

Location: Resorts World Birmingham (NEC).
Food experience: 1 out of 10 (poor towards rubbish)
Reason: They call 2 skewers (one chicken one beef) on microwaveble rice (bag) bed with sweet corn from a can and fries.... ready? Argentinian "Mixed Grill" Price: 27£ for one portion.
They have the audacity to ask for a tip befor being served (we ordered on app).
We waited forever to be seated although it was not busy.
Nobody asked if the food was allright.
Rice was cold.
Overall experience: appalling.

It was relatively busy in the wembley branch and the staff were trying they're hardest to keep up. The staff were very polite and friendly even though they were busy.

I checked the bill after and found that the optional service charge was added to the bill but there hadn't been an option to give the value of my choice when I paid. I do leave a tip but choose to give in cash so the actual staff member can get the tip directly. So in actual fact I have paid a tip directly to the staff member and als9 a tip added to my bill that says optional but clearly isn't optional. I think that this is misleading as it was a low value meal and yet I have had no choice but to pay.

Resorts world in Brum..

Resorts world in Brum... food was super and so was Millie our waitress . She was outstanding and a really hard working girl. Throughout the visit she smiled and was informative on the cocktails.

Las Iguanas: Avoid

Las Iguanas is supposed a restaurant which offers a medley of Mexican and Latin American dishes…perhaps they need to ask Mexicans and Latin Americans to taste the rubbish they churn out. It’s truly disgusting, tasteless crap, hot sauce is not seasoning, plus half the stuff they said they had sold out of, yeah right!
We visited the Milton Keynes branch where we were met with a passive aggressive attitude by the staff with a side order of waitress with the common sense of a donkey.

When their original branch was in the shopping mall, the food was quite nice, staff were well trained and the restaurant had a much better atmosphere. However clearly, they’ve cut back on quality all round and it shows.
The experience I can only liken to if the prison service were to open a restaurant, hired the cleaning staff to cook, take your order and serve your food. Needless to say, we won’t be visiting any of their restaurants again.
FYI, if I could give minus 5 Stars I would.

Went for dinner this evening with some work colleagues. The host was amazing and very good at her job. The waitress didn't seem very bothered with serving. She dropped our drinks on the table which i understand things happen but we already waited long for them. Then waited a long time for the food and wasn't to standard. Wouldn't come back as not worth the money.

Dead mouse on arrival

A recent visit to Gunwharf branch in Portsmouth with the family we were greeted by a dead mouse by the bar,as we were asked if we had a booking I pointed this out and the reply I got was oh its because we are by a port.
We were shown to our table and the dead rodent was never mentioned again.
I saw someone take a picture of it ,then remove it.
I filled in the relevant reports on the website but have never heard a thing.
Obviously not important, will be reporting to health authorities.

Glasgow Las Iguanas - food good, waitress poor

Glasgow Las Iguanas. Food and drink was very good but service lacklustre, impersonal and cold. Waitress called Kate who sounded Australian. We thoroughly enjoyed our mixed grill and cocktails (although spicy margarita arrived minus jalapeños and bottle of beer was served without a glass). Waitress couldn’t care less and was unfriendly. She had minimal manners and treated paying customers with an air of disrespect. That attitude gets a huge thumbs down and due to our experience doubt we will be back again. Wish we didn’t leave a 10% tip now and we spent quite a bit in the restaurant. Train your staff better in customer service! Left a bad taste after a decent meal.

Visited las iguanas leeds on NYE for …

Visited las iguanas leeds on NYE for bottomless brunch which i appreciate is one of the busiest times of the year. We arrived 15 minutes late at 7.45 due to a train delay and we’re told they had given our table away despite paying £20 deposit. They told us we could have a table at 8.30 but no one ever came to get us so had to ask again. Finally got seated at 8.45 and service was so so poor, again appreciate they are really busy but i have visited other restaurants at this time and service has been much better. Was waiting 40 minutes between drinks and food was cold and incorrect order received. Once finished took ages to get the bill and ended up being in this restaurant for 5 hours. Will not be returning at all and especially on new years. Be aware that they will give your table up if you are 10 minutes late!!

Poor quality of service

I was very disappointed with the service at the restaurant from Sheffield Meadowhall. We were asked to use the QR code to place an order, which was not very polite. Additionally, since one of us wanted something from the starter category and the rest of us wanted something from the main menu category, nobody informed us to tick the option to be served all at the same time, not separately like starters and main dishes. We waited for more than 30 minutes to be served, despite having paid for everything we ordered, including the service fee. Of course, it was our fault for not paying attention to something that wasn’t highlighted on the app. Overall, it was a very unprofessional experience. ☹️
A very good food but very poor service! Hope that kind of services to be improved soon.

Las iguanas torquay

Place was virtually empty, was asked if we had booked by miserable waiter, dark hair, small moustache who had absolutely no interest in looking after us.

No attention to us, had really bad vibes so got up and left. No one bothered

Shockingly bad service

Bottomless Brunch

Myself & work colleagues arrived Saturday (09/2023 at 3pm) for a bottomless brunch for works Christmas do. The lady sat us down nearly half an after our table was booked, gave us menus and said enjoy explained how the bottomless menu worked. We decided what we wanted to eat and drink but no one came to us to take our order for about 30 minutes. It was busy, which we appreciate that but staff were constantly ignoring us really poor service when our boss complained about the service the staff were really rude and upon leaving a truthful review on trip advisor three positive reviews posted from staff and friends slating customers saying they were drunk and not been able to handle their alcohol after 3 watered down drinks each somehow i don't think we where drunk it is very poor, the place is a shambles they don't have enough staff for the amount of tables booked bottomless brunch definitely not worth the money paid.

Absolutely disgusting

Absolutely disgusting! I booked a Christmas meal for 22 people, when they arrived there was a table in the centre seating 15 and smaller tables round the sides for the rest. Because we had paid the deposit early we were advised that free bubbles would be available, they forgot this and a party guest had to remind them. They were told that the Christmas meals they had paid deposits for were not available and they had to choose from the main menu, not sure if this was at the same price. When the drinks arrived the waitress didn’t know who had ordered what, so left the tray at the end of the table. She spoke to a party guest with her hands behind her back taking there order (maybe she had a good memory) she was then told to take the orders for everyone and was surprised and someone else arrived to help. Had to wait 1hour 45 minutes to be served, totally disorganised and the party felt like they were surplus to requirements. Totally unacceptable and would never, ever book here again or recommend.

This brunch was an absolute shambles, staff rude and service terrible

This brunch was an absolute shambles. We paid for a brunch between 3pm and 5pm, when we arrived our table wasnt ready until 3:20 so we were just stood in the door way for 20 minutes without a drink.

When we eventually got seated, we were given 2 bottles of prosecco between 12 people which as you can imagine lasted around 10 mins and we ordered some cocktails. 25 minutes later so 45 minutes into our brunch we finally got our first cocktail.

After finally distracting waitress beth from flirting with other members of staff we ordered around 6/7 drinks (mainly soft drinks for the ones not drinking), after beth eventually decided to stop blatantly ignoring us 3 times they still never turned up until 30 seconds before 5. As soon as the clock struck 5 they asked us to leave even though we missed the first 20 minutes.

We expressed our concerns with manager emma who seemed to have a chip on her shoulder and we were bluntly told we couldnt have another round and had to leave (completely going against what the other staff member said).

This was a shambles from start to finish, the service was terrible, the volume of drinks was horrendous, the staff were extremely rude and the food was incredibly average.
