The Silver Iguana: A Taco Haven in Rochester, NY

I'm really not sure how this place only has three stars on here. This is our third time being here, and if we lived closer, we would be here all the time. Their guacamole and chips are some of the best we've had, their tacos are delicious, and don't get me started on the loaded rice. They have amazing tequilas, draft beer, a huge selection of regular bar items, and it's a really cool vibe. Lastly, the service has always been exceptional!! Highly recommend.

We have been here many times and have never been disappointed! Their special are always creative and tasty! Wonderful cocktails and you cannot beat the prices! We visited today for brunch! I had the Chocolate Churro Martini- delicious! My friend loves their sangria, my husband had the Tia Maria and a couple of us had the tequila sunrise mimosa! The food is great and the setting is quaint!

The food was great, service was good. The wings were amazing for an appetizer. Definitely worth trying.

I had personally been hearing mixed reviews on this place for a little while and I hadn't eaten here myself since COVID times. I had some time to kill at lunch on a Saturday so I stopped in while they were still serving brunch. I had not one thing to complain about. The featured margarita was Apple Cider (five stars all by itself) which fit the mood perfectly on a crisp fall afternoon. I got the brunch special of a french toast Cuban sandwich. It was stuffed full of meat and pickles, and the french toast complimented the flavors better than I would've ever guessed. I skipped on the maple syrup dipping sauce just to not make it too sweet, but the option was there. Finally, I was influenced by another customer behind me ordering churros so I got a plate of those to go. They were perfect. The bartender and server were both lovely and helpful. Service was prompt, friendly, and I thought reasonably priced for the sheer amount of food I got (enough for a whole other meal of leftovers). Worth another try if you haven't been here in awhile.

Overall a net positive. The tacos were the best I've had in Rochester and the house special was good. I also liked the small business vibe and decorations. Was told not to sit at one of the tables because that section was closed which bordered on being laughable because the place is on the smaller end, but practically speaking I appreciate that they were up front about it because I got good service at the bar and would have hated some of the delays I've read about in the other reviews. Will be going back.

Went last night with some friends. Ordered the wings. $12 for 6 of their special chicken wings is insane, I thought it was going to be 10 wings, but just 6. They were the best chicken wings I've ever eaten. When I'm not poor, I'll be going back and ordering as many as I can afford. So good.

I went here on a Tuesday and you know what that means......tacos!!!!! I ordered one beef, one chicken, and one pork. I have to say these were probably the 3 meatiest tacos I've ever had. Perhaps a little too much meat (if that's possible). Not that I don't like meat (I most definitely do!) but would have liked a little more of the other taco components in there. I was there at 4 pm so it wasn't busy. The service was fine. I thought atmosphere of the restaurant pretty cool and it had character.

Smells great walking up Beef, chicken, pork from the taco Tuesday menu and the Baja shrimp and fish (cod) from the regular the regular menu Baja fish taco was the best of all
