Las Iguanas - Authentic South American Food for Everyday Life
Since the very start in 1991, in a quiet Bristol Street, Las Iguanas has become something of an institution.
Bringing authentic South American food to everyday life, it has allowed its founders to develop their passion which is now enjoyed by customers throughout the UK.
Despite an ongoing expansion plan, Las Iguanas is completely committed to not becoming another ubiquitous roll out - every restaurant that opens is treated as an individual - different designers areused for each ensuring an evolution of individuality.
Fajitas, superfood salads, Brazilian curries, Gringas, Churrasco and the Blazing Bird are just some of the menu highlights.
The food at Las Iguanas is absolutely uncompromising. Dedicated to using the best suppliers everything is cooked from scratch and fresh to order.
Even the drinks served are of the highest quality as in the signature Caipirinhas, which are made with Las Iguanas' very own Cachaca, sourced and distilled near Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

You [Las Iguanas] have created a great Latin American experience for your guests.
