About Las Iguanas Edinburgh
Lisa, Edinburgh
Our first visit to this restaurant, took sister and brother in law too, we were all really pleased. Food was amazing and not expensive. Service a little slow for drinks but it was a very busy Saturday night. Definitely plan to go back soon. Cocktails very strong - BEWARE!!!!!!

Latin American restaurant in Edinburgh city centre
Las Iguanas is a lively and colourful Latin American restaurant and bar on Edinburgh’s George Street. The street level dining room is great for watching the city centre street life while the basement room looks into the open plan kitchen. Rum, tequila and cachaca cocktails are a draw alongside an extensive range of wines, beers and softies.
Food from Brazil and beyond
From Brazilian coconut curries to Mexican burritos, the dishes at Las Iguanas span many South American cuisines. What all the dishes have in common is that they are made from fresh ingredients; the kitchen makes over 30 salsas and sauces each day.
There are taco sharing trays and a wide tapas selection – both ideal for groups of friends. A grill selection features spicy chicken, burgers, skewers and a flame-grilled sirloin steak served with zingy chimichurri salsa. More exotic choices include the xinxim – chicken and crayfish in a creamy lime and peanut sauce with spring onion and garlic rice, fine green beans, coconut farofa and sweet plantains. Veggie, vegan and gluten-free diners have a wider than usual range of options.
