Blackthorn _ left this review about Las Iguanas

This is really more of a bar/restaurant than a typical pub, but it does nonetheless have a small bar area at the front with a couple of high tables in the open window which is a pleasant spot.

The backdrop to the bar is a floor to ceiling wine rack with a sliding ladder to get to the higher shelves. Once beyond the bar area though it’s very much a restaurant with a Mexican theme as you would expect from the name. Food wasn’t at all bad, I enjoyed my spiced chicken enchilada and preferred both the food and the ambience in here compared to my visit to their harbourside branch a few months back.

Very disappointing choice of drinks on draught, with no beer or cider, just San Miguel lager. Drinks prices seemed a little steep, e.g.; Corona was £3.40 a bottle. So, do I mark this as a Mexican restaurant (not bad) or as a pub (very poor)? As this is pub review website, I feel obligated to tend towards the latter, so I’m afraid it’s a low mark. If you’re after a Mexican though, give it a go.
