LAS IGUANAS LEICESTER REVIEWS

We went for a bottomless lunch on a Tuesday afternoon in the summer. Our sever was Julia and she was so lovely and so welcoming, she really made our visit special. The beef burger was honestly incredible and the staff were so diligent we definitely felt very well looked after. Going at the time we did meant we made the most of the bottomless drinks. Thank you again to our lovely server, we will definitely be coming back!

Great value for money. Lovely food. Our server Eljo was amazing. Had a laugh with him. Really kind and well-mannered. Speedy service with the bottomless brunch. Felt well looked after. He also made excellent cocktails!!! :)

CHIQUITO REVIEWS

We tried Chiquitos today for the 1st time, and we're so glad that we did. We had nachos and tortilla starters and beef burger and chicken burger for our mains. Everything was served steaming hot and was delicious. The chips were crispy, as were the onion rings and the portions were very generous. Andrea was so lovely and helped with our selection as we weren't sure what to order. We will definitely be returning.

Had a really lovely meal here, the food was served within a good amount of time despite them being busy. Most importantly our waitress Grace was very attentive and helpful throughout our meal. She made sure we had all we needed and her manner was friendly and helpful. Also the cocktails were really good, would recommend the passionfruit mojito!

Great location, lots of tables, descent menu options including plenty of vegetarian choices. Friendly staff and excellent service. We visited to celebrate my wife’s birthday and the Birthday brownie was a nice surprise at the end.

VIVA EL BURRITO REVIEWS

Favourite Mexican in Leicester by a country mile. Delicious food. Lots of veggie / vegan options clearly marked. Absolutely lovely staff. Feels like a mama away from home!

Delicious food, lovely owners, nice atmosphere and great prices. The beef quesadilla is my favourite, the meat is super tender and packed with flavour. Truly food made with love and passion. The only downside is that food is super addictive and we will have to visit often now!

Stumbled across this little Mexican today, was greeted warmly by the owners (Father and daughter). The menu was explained really clearly and the server was lovely and chatty. The food was so good, the beef was unbelievable. We will definitely come back again
