I was told that this place was one of the best Mexican restaurants in Rochester, and it lived up to the hype! The chips were adorned with a smoky seasoning, and the salsa was flavorful. My burrito was packed with delicious fillings, and my husband enjoyed his carne asada quesadilla. The house margarita also as good as I was told. I look forward to returning!

5 Stars – A True Gem! The Silver Iguana exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, vibrant, and full of character. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every part of the experience was perfect. A special shoutout to Kate, who made our visit even more memorable with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care — she truly went above and beyond. The menu offered a fantastic variety, and every dish we tried was packed with fresh flavors and creativity. The attention to detail, from presentation to taste, was outstanding. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual night out or a special occasion, The Silver Iguana is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!

Killer margs with fresh lime juice. The nachos are so good and so loaded with queso it’s dangerous. JK. Can you imagine? The birria consomé is so loaded with umami you’ll forget who your family voted for. Come have a marg and try to pretend you’re having a bad day. I dare ya!

First time here, our food was amazing and came out quickly. We ordered a lot of different tacos and each was good and flavoured uniquely. We loved it so much that we ordered more to go home with! We also tried their desserts, and thought those were good too. Prices fair! One of the best parts of our dinner though was our server Ashley G. She literally could not have been better. Attentive, friendly, fast. I swear our waters never dropped below a half a glass. We ordered so much food and she got everything right. Cleared our numerous used plates promptly so the table never felt cluttered. We'd come back again just based on her service.

I can't say enough good things about this place, the food is exceptional! The spice can go from sweet to diablo hot! The drinks, specialty drinks, and tequila selection are superb! If you haven't been yet it should definitely be on your list of places to go.

One of my favorite Sunday brunch spots! Their avocado toast is to die for and their mango tequilas are just amazing, period. Their tacos are decent but there’s a lot of variety in their menu than just tacos and tequilas. Always busy and lively at nights but is a great spot to take your friends out to brunches since it’s never too crowded in the day! Service and the place is awesome too. It’s a house that was turned into a restaurant.

If I could give a place a 6 start review, this would be it. Excellent lunch time service and the food was easily the best Mexican food I have ever had in the area. Not your typical Tex-Mex at all and everything seems to be freshly made from scratch. Drinks were splendid as well. We will absolutely be back!

Sat outside with a group of 9. Server was amazing, even with a cast! Food was packed with flavor, heat, and the drinks were quick and delicious. I would give the food 5 stars, but the tortillas were soaked through, and served cold.

Went there after pride and was craving huevos rancheros. Friendly vibe, food was different, but good, my only minor complaint is that the food could have been hotter. It wasn't busy when we were there. I got huevos and my husband got chicken and churros. We will definitely go back again. Great selection of drinks.

Very good Mexican food with a homemade feel. Flavors are great, and the hot sauce selection is excellent. Portions are small, so get a side dish. I have heard it can be busy but lunchtime on a Wednesday had plenty of seating.

I went here with a friend. We got the queso and salsa for the chips. The salsa and chips were not complimentary. They had a special of ground beef and cheese wontons, these were over cooked and one was completely empty. I got the shrimp taco and the candied jalapeño beef one. Both were very good. I got a side of rice of beans and it wasn’t my favorite. The rice was a little crunchy. Our drinks were good and our service was great!

The food was quite good and the staff friendly. The cowboy candy taco was the best one of the tacos. The chips were really tasty! Four stars instead of five because there just wasn’t enough spice or heat (except the cowboy candy with the jalapeños). The salsa was sweet and a couple of the tacos could use more flavor. Also, a cut of lime to squeeze over everything and some bottles of hot sauce on the tables would have helped the flavor profiles overall. Still very good and worth a trip!

Great place to eat but only if you go at the right time. Do NOT go during lunch hours because it's basically self serve at that time. You'll have a bartender with little serving experience tending to you which results in you doing everything yourself. I came in around noon with my family which includes two small children. When I asked for a high chair the bartender told me. Oh yeah, they're over there. When she finally stopped chatting at the bar and came over to our table. We were informed that the menus were digital. The menus do not contain any drinks besides cocktails and when I asked where is the drink menu she said "oh it's right there under cocktails".... That's kind of an odd thing to say to a family with small children during the middle of the day. When I pointed out that there were no non-alcoholic beverages on that menu she seemed to be upset and then started listing off what else they have to drink with an attitude as if I were to already know what they had. And even though I did consider a beer for myself, that thought left when I asked her what beers they had and she told me to get up and go look at the menu behind the bar. These are just a few of the things that happen during that experience. All in all I would say the food is good, but if you're doing everything besides cooking your own food, what's the point in going out and spending your hard-earned money? Maybe the silver iguana will hire servers for lunch hour instead of somebody who is only good for pouring drinks into a cup
