Iguana's Restaurant Reviews
Very nice dinner. Food selections were properly prepared and served in a timely manner. Our server was Prajerio and he did a nice job. He has been a server there for several years and we have had him many times before.
What an incredible dining experience. Amazing authentic Puerto Rican food.

Iguana's Restaurant, located in the beautiful Rio Mar hotel premises and near El Yunque, is a hidden gem that offers exceptional food and service. The menu features standout dishes such as Mofongo, arroz con pollo, and the must-try Pigeon pea risotto, all of which have received high praise. The steaks are cooked to perfection, and the chocolate lava cake remains a favorite for dessert. The restaurant also provides vegetarian options, including vegetarian nuggets and vegetarian meatballs, making it a great choice for health-conscious families.
Guests have enjoyed appetizers like the cheese appetizer, presented in a fun way that delighted children, and the shrimp appetizer, which was fresh and flavorful. The Rio Mar Salad with Caribbean cherry vinaigrette and fresh papaya has been highlighted for its vibrant and tropical flavors. The sides, including sweet potato fries, cassava sticks, and fried plantains, showcase the rich culinary heritage of the island.
The Iguanas Punch has been popular among the teens, and the wine selection is noted for its exceptional quality at a great price. Desserts like the banana foster cheesecake, which many wish they had ordered individually, add a sweet ending to the meal. The staff is accommodating, and the service has been described as warm and attentive, with specific praise for servers who provide excellent suggestions and cater to requests with care. Overall, Iguana's Restaurant is a five-star dining experience that promises to impress families looking for a delicious and memorable night.
