Good service, very attentive. Not too loud inside and they do have outdoor seating. Clean seating inside. The margaritas are good and you can get them to go as well. I got the beef nachos. They were well loaded with meat and cheese, would have appreciated more fresh veggies for topping, but that's a personal preference. The nachos do get soggy but that's normal. read more

We haven't been here in awhile due to a past not so great experience, but Blue Iguana is consistent on a lower quality of food over the last year or so. I had the chicken and shrimp Diablo tacos and they were dry and very small portions. What surprised me most was that they didn't remove the shrimp tails inside the taco. Also , beware of ordering a top shelf margarita, they'll charge you $18 for the drink and charge another $12 for a shot. Sneaky waiters. Will not be visiting this place again for a long time. read more

Given the time of night that me and my wife went, they were having live music playing (Tuesday & Thursday), the service was pretty good. The food was delicious and so was the Mezcal margarita. The only thing two negative things that I have to say are: 1: this was the first time I've been to a Mexican or Tex-mex restaurant that did not do anything for people celebrating their birthday. 2: the bus boy should not have to help the waitress with taking a customers order. The poor kid was "lost in the sauce" and had to have help to place orders in the system. Other than that, I would go back and eat again. read more

The Blue Iguana has really been going downhill lately. I just removed my 5 star rating I posted from a few years back. In the last 3 or 4 months , it has not been the same. This used to be our favorite place to eat and to take people when they came to visit us . Definite not anymore. It seems like there has been all new staff, young kids , and they don't seem to care about good service . From the hosts to the servers , it is very disappointing. We have had several orders wrong whether we call it in or are there in person. There's little to no attention to customers needs. Hopefully someone turns this place around to how it used to be before it's too late. read more

Food tastes pretty good, but it is pricey for the portions you receive. I did take out, so not too sure about the ambiance.

Excellent Tex-Mex place in Magnolia, Texas. Features quite a bit of seafood and Cajun. Pretty diverse menu, includes Philly cheesesteaks for some reason. My wife really liked the chicken Diablo tacos and cerveche. I had the enchilada plate which I thought it was excellent. Big city food, small town prices. read more

One of better local spots. We live they chips and salsa. The outdoor sitting can be good if not too busy, it does get noisy, but then you talk louder :) read more

This was our first time here and we really liked it. Service was really good. Food was very good. Really nice patio with great weather today. read more

On Friday Evening my Wife and I met up with my Son (Daaron) and Family (Steph, Chris, Tyler & Jaiden) at the "Blue Iguana Taco House" in Magnolia. My Son and his Wife were there once and wanted to check it out again. We LoVe Mexican Food, especially TACOS. It took us a while to get there because GPS said it was only 27 minutes away, but in reality it was more like 45 minutes - but we made it. Walked in and we were the first ones there. My Son is on the way with his Kids and his Wife will join us later (stuck at work). Kike is our Server and we ordered our drinks. My Wife and I are having 22oz Draft Beers, Miller Lite & Coors Light. My Son is having a Jumbo Rita, Chris, my Grandson, ordered a 'Liquid (joint)' (malibu rum, light rum, flue curacao, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, sweet & sour) & water for the two others. When Steph arrived, she also ordered the 'Liquid (joint)'. Before we ordered our food, we enjoyed our drink, ate their Chips & Salsa (spicy), and chatted for some time catching up on everything. Steph arrived and it's time to order. My Wife is having a "Fish Taco"; Grilled Tilapia, Cabbage, Cream Sriracha Sauce & American Cheese. I am having "Carbon Combo Tacos"; 1-Beef, 1-Chicken Fajita Tacos with Pico & Guacamole on Flour Tortillas (choice). Served with Rice & Charro Beans. Daaron & Steph, each, are having the "Chimichanga Beef Fajita"; Large Flour Tortilla filled with Ground Beef, served with Rice & Beans, Guacamole, Chile con Queso & Sour Cream. Jaiden went with the "Enchilada Dinner"; 3-Enchiladas filled with Cheese, Ground Beef or Shredded Chicken topped with Gravy & Cheese. Served with Rice & Beans. "Diablo Combo Tacos"; 1-Chicken Diablo, 1-Shrimp Diablo & Avocado, served with Rice & Beans - and - "Nacho Tacos"; 3-Crispy Tacos, Ground Beef, Refried Beans, Queso Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Sour Cream & Jalapenos - were also ordered but I don't know who (Chris & Tyler - one or the other). When the food came out the Aroma was amazing - time for another round of drinks. The Food here is really, really good. Not just us saying that but this place is packed - and packed - with people at every table and the Bar is filled - and more are waiting to get in. My Wife LoVeD her Fish Taco and said it was one of the Best, if not the Best, she has had (picture is blurry, but you can see how big that fish is). My Carbon Tacos were Excellentlylicious - love the Flavors and Seasoning. Everyone else enjoyed what they had and ate it all. Can't describe it all here, y'all are just gonna have to go and try it yourself. Check'em out on Facebook - Blue Iguana Taco House - and On-Line. The Aroma of Fajitas filled the room - this always happens at all Mexican Restaurant - it's good for the soul. Kike, our Server, earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-&-beyond' the norm - and this place was busy. read more

One of my favorite establishments! My husband and I wandered in shortly after we moved to Magnolia. It was a quiet evening. We had great food, I enjoy the white donkey burrito, fantastic margaritas. There was no room for anything else to eat. Service is excellent. We have been back many times, even with a larger party, and have always had reliable service, great food, and a relatively peaceful environment. It's a regular for us! read more

Great tacos and margaritas. Waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. Love the colorful and lively vibe. Some evening they have live music and frequently have specials including crawfish. A hidden little gem in Magnolia Texas read more

What has happened to hygiene requirements for food servers? I see this a lot, not just at this restaurant. Last night our server had 3 inch long fake nails. No telling what was trapped under them. How gross that she touches food people consume. Owners, managers and inspectors need to get back in top of setting hygiene standards. read more

The food is delicious. It was full of flavor and fresh. The service was prompt and professional and friendly. They were attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant was clean and the decor was bright and festive. We will definitely go back. read more

Best fish and shrimp tacos I have ever had. Got them fried. Love the food the wait staff was fantastic. Will definitely be back soon and I live in Conroe. read more

Used to be a regular, 1-2 times a month. Went yesterday with family and requested to move seats due to a large amount of flies where we were sitting and the server then proceeded to make a comment to her friend in Spanish about how there are flies everywhere and what do we expect, thinking we only speak English. Guess what, we speak Spanish. Also my child's high chair broke while she was sitting in it not moving. Poor service, food is ehh, and flies everywhere that they are obviously well aware of. Will not be returning again. read more

The food was horrible. It took 30 minutes to take our order and we asked 3 times to order. The wait time for food was over 20 min . They were not that busy the night we went. The beans were sour. My husband taco was bad (meat). They replaced the taco. My girlfriend's food was cold and she said it didn't taste right. read more

Bartender and bar area service was horrible. Every time he took a drink or food order he had his back turned to us asking what we wanted and after telling him he turned around and would ask "what did you want"? Kept having to ask if he got our drinks or did he forget. just all around horrible service and no personality read more

First time here and the service was very good! Our server was attentive and margaritas I'd say are the best in town! Tried their special appetizer and was so delicious! read more

Stop fooling yourselves Magnolia, everything you are eating at this place came straight out of the freezer and Sysco truck. Ordered the fish and shrimp tacos, where do I start, tortilla was more than like the only thing that was handmade, other than that you get a fried piece of fish that you have no idea what it is, Tilapia? Swai? I don't know... and fried shrimp. Each taco had purple slaw from a bag, no sauce no special spicey anything, just purple lettuce slaw from a bag. Graded cheese also from a bag, a piece of fried fish and some fried shrimp, and that's about the extent of the fish and shrimp tacos. read more

Good food, good margaritas, nice atmosphere. On nice days sit outside on the deck. Usually have good service. Ask for flour tortilla chips they are yummy, with their white queso.... Very good. It typically is my meal. read more

Blue Iguana is my favorite little place in Magnolia. The staff is polite and I love the food. Plenty of space inside as well as out to have a group meal with friends & family. Beverages are Coca-Cola products, beer, a small wine list and mix drinks Great lunch menu and dinner menu. My go-tos are the Señorita and my husband loves their fajitas. Plenty of parking front and back sometimes it spills over to the Tractor Supply parking lot. Best times to go for me are lunch time if I go there for dinner I prefer 4pm or 6pm. read more

We went here because they are always busy and so it must be good right? Went with the kids, and the parking lot was full, but there was no wait. The inside was very spacious and had cool decor. The wait staff was quick and friendly and checked in regularly to make sure you were doing good. The food was amazing and fairly priced. The only thing I wish they had were booths (it's just easier with kiddos), but they only had the traditional tables and chairs. Overall highly recommend and would definitely go again. read more

Crawfish was surprisingly amazing! Perfectly spicy and I didn't have to discard a SINGLE one. I always come here and order skinny margaritas and tacos, but I was incredibly happy that I decided to try their crawfish finally. The food is amazing compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area and the margaritas are out of this world! We just keep coming back!! read more

Both visits...I was extremely disappointed. The drinks were watered down. The food was not good. However the customer service was excellent.

Sat on the new patio. Wait staff rarely came by. No silverware or napkins. No one seemed to know who our waiter was. Food took a good while. No chips or salsa for about 25-30 minutes. Drinks took 25-30 minutes as well. read more

9.23.22 My hubby and I tried the Blue Iguana tonight for the first time. It is a cute restaurant in Magnolia, TX. (Very clean too) They were busy and the staff was very attentive. We were seated right away. They have a large outdoor patio and it was quite full when we showed up. The service was good. The food was also good. I ordered fajita beef tostados and sliced avocados (since the guacamole has tomatoes) The tostados had quite a bit of fajita meat and were very good. I would order them again! My husband ordered Diablo tacos. One with shrimp(bacon wrapped around it) and a chicken taco(bacon wrapped around it) with rice and beans. He said the shrimp taco was very very good and chicken one was good as well. He liked the shrimp one the best and would order both again. My hubby said the rice and beans were like every Tex-Mex restaurant good but not great. We did not order drinks this time but they did look delicious. We will definitely be eating here again. read more

The food was amazing. The service was fantastic. And the ambiance was very welcoming. And the price was right. Highly recommend.

This place is AMAZING!!! Great food Great Service Good lunch Specials I was referred by the girl who works at the Lone Pint Brewery down the street. I will definitely be back there soon to both spots. A definite visit to both places if you like good craft beer and great Mexican food. read more

We had a great time. The server was friendly. The drinks and food were really good. People do smoke on the patio, but didn't bother us.

I had the fajita combo lunch. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The beef was flavorful, but just too tough to enjoy. The entire plate arrived just not quite warm enough. I have difficulty blaming the waitstaff for that, because they were always in motion: attentive and responsive. On a positive note: The green sauce is pretty good. I probably will not return here. read more

I don't know what has happen over the last 2-3 months maybe. Or it was the change in management but not happy. We used to come 1-2 times a week. Now I don't know if I will go back. Since management changed. First time we went was ok, service wasn't as good but no other issues. Second time we went back there was a large bone in my husbands boneless chicken. They apologized, management never came out waiter did it. Ok that can happen, so we went back a third time to see if ok maybe a fluke. Went back a third time and there was hair in my son's rice and that isn't ok at all. read more

I don't know if it was because it was a Friday night,or because the Astros were playing or maybe a combination of both??? But I called the restaurant 20 minutes before i got there to place my to go order. The girl that answered the phone said it would be 15 minutes. Cool,right??? But when i got there,the parking lot was packed and I ended up waiting about 45 minutes more for my food,we might as well should have dined in! I had already paid while I waited,so i couldnt just leave....And I felt like the girls at the counter were SO busy they forgot about me because the 45 seconds it took to walk back to the car,the food was ice cold. I know this because the boyfriend and I were so hungry,as it was now 8:45 at night,that we decided to eat in the car instead of take it back home. read more

The service was horrible. I ordered chicken with shrimp on top and a cream sauce. The shrimp was raw and ice cold in the middle. I almost threw up after the first bite. I sent my plate back and explained that the food was raw and I am now at risk of food poisoning. They had the nerve to give me a bill after sending back the food. They are lucky I'm not filing with the health department. I have been feeling sick to my stomach all day now. Happy Easter!! read more

Stopped in here for some tacos and margaritas on a Thursday so it wasn't too busy. We sat on the back patio and our service was friendly and possibly maybe even too attentive... All of the tacos we ordered were good, but my favorite was the shrimp Diablo! They were flavorful and filled nicely. Our margaritas were tasty but not too strong which I guess we should have expected during happy hour... The stand out for both of us were the chips (and salsa)! Their chips are thin and crispy with a nice balance of corn flavor; they're not greasy and had the perfect saltiness! I'll be going back for the chips alone! read more

The top shelf margaritas are rediciculously priced at 17.00 And I watched as it was prepared with about a half shot of patrons. It tasted like a regular margarita. So I ordered a shot of Quervo to make it better and the shot was 9.00 so 26 dollars for my beverage. It's just crazy pricing in this horrible economy. We ate alacart and wife had 1 crown and coke. With tip , total was 70 dollars. Just crazy..I will never order there weak over sweet margaritas ever again. Don't waste your time and money going there. The owners are rarely there so there is no one to complain to. ​ read more
