    If you have the time and patience of a zen master, Señor Iguanas is the place for you! The food was absolutely delicious--every bite transported me straight to the heart of Mexico. But the service? Well, let's just say they were channeling their inner tortoise. I watched in envy as margaritas paraded past me, destined for every table but mine. By the time my enchiladas arrived, I was ready to join the fiesta and dive into one of those margaritas myself. But alas, it was lunchtime and I had to get back to work. If only they served speed as well as they served salsa!

    Have not even made it to my entree and I LOVE this place! Hot salsa is spot-on, fresh chips and awesome guac... Now the entree

    So glad I found this place!!! Thanks Yelp... From the amazing hot salsa, fresh chips & guac to to amazing el pastor tacos this was a find! Authentic for sure, service was great - live music, couldn't ask for much more on Friday-eve... If you've not been, you are missing out!

    Authenticos tacos. Amazing.

    This place was amazing. New to Louisville and I don't think I'll look any further for a great Mexican meal. My husband also loved it and he is super picky about his Mexican food. I had the Authenticos Tacos and he had the enchiladas. Both were awesome. Huge portions and great prices. Definitely don't pass this place up!!!!!

    Very good Mexican establishment. Love love love there white creamy chip dip they bring out on the complimentary chips and salsa. Hands down best I've had. I always get the Cardinal special which is just grilled chicken rice and queso all blended together. It a very large plate and very tasty. Between that and the mystery white salsa it keeps me coming back. This particular location is very tiny but yet you still do not feel over crowded. Service is always solid. Senor Iguanas was absolutely a great addition to the okolona area.

    I work near this location frequently. I am so happy to have found a Mexican option. The service was great and the lunch menu was a great value. A large group of us came in for lunch on a week day. There was no wait. They have chips and salsa and a yummy creamy sauce too! I will for sure be back!

    Chips and salsa, corona premium

    My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Always get seated promptly, atmosphere is relaxed and has outdoor seating as well. Awesome drink specials, and the food is killer. I always just get three soft tacos, but they are so good! We always have a great time here and definitely tell our friends about it.

I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

When we arrived we had a brief wait before we checked in, and were seated on the second level. Our server was excellent, our service was quick and he was always around without hovering. It was bitter cold outside so instead of my usual margarita ($14+) I opted for a beer ($6). We started with the salsa trio, one of my favorites with handmade assorted chips. It includes three salsas, somewhat spicy, sweet tomato and tomatillo - the spicy and sweet were my favorites. Next we ordered the tacos el carbon and carbon burrito - pricing is expensive! We both ordered our steaks medium rare. My tacos had a beautiful presentation, the meat came out on a skewer and smoking from the hot coals. All toppings were repeated on the plate. The steak was overcooked and tough though. Had a nice smoke to it, but very chewy. My husband enjoyed his burrito but wasn't the best he's ever had. They also had a mariachi band walk around but they had "tips" all over their instruments and clothes. Overall we had a nice meal but the price point doesn't equal the food quality.

We were leaving for the second leg of our trip and were running late, as usual. We decided to run across the street for a sit down lunch, what's another hour? Two smiling faces greeted us at the door. They offered a high top but my hip was absolutely not digging it nor a table up the flight of steep stairs. Once seated, we were greeted promptly and had water in front of us almost immediately. We each ordered soup and then a sandwich to share. I had the Sopa de Pollo . A hot bowl thick with thin noodles and lots of chunks of chicken. The chunks were too big to eat without being cut up which was a challenge in a bowl of broth. It was so hot that I had to wait a while to try it and even then had to blow on it. It was delicious. Unless the soup is your meal, order a cup. I still took nearly a pint of soup back with me. My husband ordered the Frijole Negro - a huge bowl of black beans that was served with a large pile of raw onions on top. Like the chicken soup, it was burn your mouth hot and a very large serving. He said it was good but he'd not order it again. Moving on to the sandwich. We had the Cubano. I'm not even going to describe it - just trust me - order the Cubano. Do not look at the rest of the menu - order the Cubano. Don't even bother looking at the ingredients, just order the Cubano. Have you ordered it yet? Do it already. The Cubano is huge. We split one half and had the other when we arrived at our next stop. Do consider that we had soup first; otherwise, we'd have eaten the whole thing. The accompanying plantain chips were worthy of their own review. They were wonderful. Who knows if and when we'll be back to Louisville but when we are, La Bodeguita will be the first place we stop. BTW, have you ordered the Cubano yet? What are you waiting for? Put your phone done and order it! Enjoy!!
