    Chicken Pesto Pasta & Monte Carlo
    Ashley C.

    Had to run it back and go again. Definitely shared the pasta and the crepes. Service was awesome and the music was soft

    I stopped into Iguana Bistro and Café and walked into a space has that cozy, relaxed charm that makes you want to sit back, sip, and stay awhile. Now let's talk food.......the pasta portions are no joke. Big, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I had one of their pasta dishes and it was delicious from start to finish. Comfort food done right! The dessert was another win..... just the right balance of sweet and satisfying without being too heavy. And the drinks? My French martini was perfection. It was smooth, balanced, and the kind that makes you immediately say, "I'll have another." The service was friendly and warm, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. It's got that genuine European hospitality that feels hard to find these days. If you're looking for a spot with great food, generous portions, and a relaxing, European-style café feel, Iguana Bistro + Café is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back!

    I stopped in with my friend last week and they didn't disappoint. Their service was quick and efficient, ambiance is low lit and cozy, and the food was really good. I loved that menu had so many different options. Spicy four cheese dip, 3/5. Seafood Mac and cheese, 5/5. Florentine, 6/5. Chicken pesto, 5/5. Brownie a la Mode, 10/5. European dream waffle, 2.5/5. Martinis, 5/5.

    There is a reason this restaurant has so many 5 star reviews! Service was great and the time to receive food was fast. The blended mojito and iced latte were very good. The portions were large.

    The Napoli Sandwich
    Casey W.

    The food was good but it's less of a cafe and more just a restaurant. Not really Conducive to getting work done.

    Sparta Crepe
    Serlina K.

    The sparta crepe ($15) was like pancake texture, on the softer side. Chicken was dry. The chipotle mayo was nice though! They let us stay for an extra hour to do work, smooth wifi

    Seafood Mac   Cheese
    Dalia D.

    The seafood Mac and cheese was advertised as an appetizer. It was so large I could barely finish it. It came out piping hot and was soooo savory. Each bite was of heaven but I had to save some for later. Try their pumpkin spice cappuccino! It's like a cup of coffee made from home. I'm not sure how long they'll have it for. It's very European/cafe/bar modern inside. Mood lighting always, letting in just enough sunlight on a sunny day.

    Amsterdam Crepes
    Simran S.

    Went to Iguana Cafe today to try some new food! I was very excited about the crepes. We tried: 1. Espresso Martini - this was super nice! Very well made and I enjoyed it a lot 2. Bloody Mary - presentation on point. 3. Amsterdam Crepes - I am vegetarian so this option was nice! It had a lot of red bell pepper and tomato, and I added some mushrooms as well because I love them haha. Service was super quick! We didn't even have to wait to get a table. The ambiance of the place is very nice and cute. Felt very European.

    Beets & burrata salad with grilled chicken
    Dewi A.

    I have been coming here on business every year since 2017. The pastas here are generous and delicious! However, this time I decided to order the fig, beets & burrata salad and added grilled chicken. It was unfortunately a let-down -- though the chicken was well-seasoned, it was overcooked and hard. The salad, which came drizzled in balsamic, lacked sufficient dressing. I had to ask for additional dressing. My friend who ordered the smoked salmon salad enjoyed his -- I took one bite and was immediately jealous that my salad paled in comparison to his. I typically order an espresso martini with my meal every time I dine here, because in the past, it had always been good. Sadly, my martini was too creamy and lacked the punch you get from the espresso. It hardly tasted like espresso at all! At such a milky consistency, I couldn't even finish it. It was disappointing. Hopefully better luck next time!

    Seafood cheese dip
    Tori H.

    Great spot for a casual meal! I went for lunch and it was the perfect portion and pretty good food! We started with the seafood dip and I got a sandwich. The bread and pita for the dip were fresh which was a great touch! The dip itself was good, a bit fishy tasting though. I got the Napoli sandwich and it was great! The food is also priced super reasonably compared to places in the area so it makes it an easy spot to just pop in for an easy meal. The pastas also looked very good and I'd love to go back and try a crepe for breakfast! The atmosphere is a bit dark inside and outdated but the servers and staff are so friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be back, I'm excited to try breakfast!

    Went for lunch ... first time visit. The room is lovely with it's dark tones. I ordered the tomato basil soup with crumbled feta and the Amsterdam crepe with ham added. My husband ordered a bowl of the chili. The chili was very good. The tomato-basil was good but the crumbled feta was actually large chunks. The major fail was the crepe. The taste was overwhelmed by the peppers and the olives. I could not taste the Gouda or cheddar (of which there was a minimal amount). The service was okay 'though when the server saw me "deconstructing" the crepe at the end of the meal, she asked if everything was okay. When I replied that I wouldn't order this again, she just turned and walked away. Maybe I'd go back for a drink because the bar looked nice and cozy, but I wouldn't rush back for a meal.

    Chicken Pesto Pasta
    Erika P.

    Lovely cozy restaurant! I'm surprised I didn't try it earlier. It might look super discreet from the outside, but you will be surprised with the amazing food and the friendly staff. Our favorite was the pesto pasta and the croissant sandwich. Will definitely come back to try more things on their menu!

    A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for…read morea casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

    Stopped by La Malinche Coffee & Tea House in Pilsen to try something new. Place is nice and quiet…read more Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
