Veggie fajitas
Bobbie S.

Went for the first time based on a recommendation. The service was good. The food came really quick! But I think it was a little more Tex than Mex.

Frijoles Charros
Jessi D.

I went for lunch.Place was nice and we were seated pretty fast. Our waiter was attentive and really nice. Drink were strong so that's good.Gotta love their green salsa. You can't skip the cilantro rice with charro beans. I ordered from the lunch menu and was very surprised how big the pieces of Chicken a la diabla were.Oh and that butter they come with added to how good the chicken already was.Definitely coming back.

Tortilla Soup!

I went last night with a group of friends. The green dip at Iguana Joe's has always been a favorite of my family. It did not disappoint. . I ordered beef fajita nachos as an appetizer. They were delicious! I ordered tortilla soup for my main course. The tender chicken and broth were enhanced by the vegetables. It was full of flavor! Our friendly server Trinty, was super attentive and well versed on the menu. Trinity made sure we had excellent service!

Chips & salsa Ground Beef Enchiladas with Zesty Ranchero sauce  Mexican rice Borracho beans  Passion fruit margaritas

I ordered the ground beef enchiladas with their zesty ranchero sauce and it was a perfect combination. The complimentary chips and salsa were a huge plus. The service was attentive and even though he was busy he made sure to ask if i needed anything when he could. The atmosphere is very family friendly which i don't mind at all but if you are looking for a quite solo dinner this is not it. Over all my experience was great and i will be back soon.

I had a job interview there and the interviewer was so rude I almost considered never giving this place my business again. When I met her she was late to the interview, had a McDonald's drink, she accused me of a criminal history because she had the wrong application (and didn't believe me when I told her I didn't have a criminal record), and told me my clothes were unprofessional. I came in wearing the same stuff the servers wear to a T . Then she acted like she was doing me a favor by scheduling me another interview, but told me she'd be "too tired for 11 am so let's do noon". When I showed up at noon the next day she wasn't even there. I know it's a weird complaint but again I almost am considering never giving my business to this place again if that's the standard the owners of this place are okay with. I'm pretty sure her name was Ashley. She had dark hair and glasses if I remember. Terrible lady

Meat was good but tortillas de harina needed a bit extra cook time. The place was so dark it was hard to see the menu even though it was around midday. Miche wasn't good but I believe in I paid for it I'm finishing it. Food was average at best nothing that makes you say "Oh yeah Lupe's has the best...." Was expecting more way more since prices ain't cheap. Oh and for some odd reason they don't have salt on the table. I was like oh this food is about to be good since salt is not needed around here.

So, I've got an extra star in my rating for that. However, I can't in good conscience give a good review to this place because of what I witnessed there. This happened years ago but it has been burned into my mind ever since. The shop was very busy, and I guess the young lady working the cash register made some kind of mistake. The owner came over to her and started yelling at her, saying "Are you STUPID?!" and humiliating her in front of all the customers and her coworkers. I've never been back. I don't consciously use my money to support people who treat others that way. I hope the owner has learned better leadership skills and empathy for people when they make mistakes. Maybe he has already, but I probably won't ever know because I am simply not going back there after seeing his behavior that day. :(

One thing that really stood out to me: they made Choripollo for me by request, and absolutely nailed it. That level of flexibility and care is hard to find. My wife can't get enough of the papa nachos, they're a must-try. And the drinks? Always on point.
