Iguanas Home Of The Burritozilla

My first time here, the place is very vibrant and lively on the outside.   You can't miss it.   You can hear the music playing, it's inviting you to come in.  There is plenty of outdoor seating. Inside where you place your order, it's small.   There's 2 small tables and a counter for people to sit and eat.   The soda fountain wasn't working.   There are a lot of items to choose from they even have a happy hour menu. I asked the lady at the register what she recommended, and she was meh.  Clearly, she wasn't trying to help me, and she acted like I was bothering her.   I brushed it off and placed my order.  I watched in amazement as the cook made my food.  It was like art being made.  He was super nice. I ordered: 1.  Iguana nachos no beans - The chips are crispy and fresh.   This was a meal on its own. 2.  Super Iguana burrito -  This was big enough to feed a family.  We literally cut it in half and gave half to my parents.  We ate this at home, which was like an hour away, and it was still hot when we got home.   It was delicious.   Yummy goodness in every bite. 3.  Enchiladas side - I did chicken and cheese and watched the cook make it in the pan.   He lightly sauced the container and then poured the yummy goodness from the pan to the container.   I couldn't wait to eat it.   The chicken was tender and juicy.  Each bite was perfect and flavorful. 4.  Chips and guacamole - Crunchy chips and amazing guacamole. When the lady handed me my food, she packaged it so well my Enchiladas container tipper over, and the juice just spilled out on my vintage a d in the bag.  Lovely lady.  The soda machine was broken, and there was no agua frescas.  She didn't offer any drinks.   The only option was water and Gatorade. Highly recommend this place.   The food was amazing.   Ignore the lady at the register, and you'll be fine.

Great Mexican diner in San Jose Downtown. The restaurant exterior is flashy, especially at night. I tried their veggie tacos and nachos. Loved the taste of the food. Also, the orange sauce was spicy and but tasted real good. Their service was quick and outstanding. Lots of place to dine in and outside the restaurant. Highly recommend!

I haven't been here in years, I'm very surprised the quality of the food is great. We really enjoyed our burritos.

Service was very fast, this place is a must to try for the ones who love burritos and even for those who don't, this people really know how to satisfy the palate and stomach of other people who want to eat well and in abundance. Seen in a Man-vs-food episode, my expectations was very high and not only they really didn't disappointed me, but match my dreams to eat the American way: plentiful and tasty. Not made on purpose, but I preferred the burrito to taco Tuesday on that very day. Taken a super burrito, I've choosen "Al pastor". Highly recommended.

The Asian lady taking the order did not give a friendly invite for a Saturday afternoon.. but the taco was huge and the burrito was very tasty.., 9 out of 10 will try again…

Is it a Mexican food place? Nope Is it the best place in the area? Nope Is it authentic casual Californian food? Yes Can you find comforting, delicious, consistent food at very affordable prices? Also yes Do I think you should stick to their burrito menu? Yes, it has it in its name, and you can have the best experience bite after bite. Do you need to go at least once in your life? Yes Is their orange sauce the BOOM? HELL YES Everything on their menu is worth it, so take the time to place your order and prepare your best first impression. Wait for your food while enjoying the music of the place (a perfect playlist, by the way); I recommend you eat outside and enjoy! You will most likely need that after-lunch walk around downtown San Jose.

I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but I was too famished to remember. I ended up getting it to go anyway. The place was spotless, and I actually loved the entrance. It felt like I was entering a roller coaster line queue – pretty cool, right? I ordered a chicken burrito and a steak burrito. They were quite tasty. But let me highly recommend the horchata; it's so good that I wish I could have it every day. The steak nachos were alright, with generous toppings, crunchy, authentic tortilla chips that reminded me of the ones I enjoy at Superior – similar taste and crunch. The fries were excellent, crispy and not overly potatoey. The service here was outstanding. The guy at the register was friendly, explained everything well, and had a pleasant speaking voice. He managed to be laid-back and professional at the same time. Apologies for not leaving a tip; I think I got overwhelmed and didn't see the tip option. I usually always tip small businesses. I'll make sure to do that next time! Now, let's talk about the orange sauce – it was spicy for me but incredibly tasty! There's ample seating both inside and outside. I typically expect stuffy and humid environments in places like this, but it felt clean and had fresh air. The tables were well-kept. One thing to note is that they don't give you an order number, so make sure you keep an eye on your order. We certainly didn't hear any numbers being called, so a kind customer in the other dining area kept repeating the number to us. I'll definitely return here. The only downside for me is the color scheme inside. I understand it's iguana-themed, but to me, it felt a bit tacky, like a childhood room decorated with a Minecraft theme. I think a cooler, more modern urban iguana theme would be great. The outside looks cool and hip, but once you're inside, it feels a bit underwhelming. Also, note that the restroom door is locked.

First time went to this cute place in downtown San Jose. We had super quesadilla and super tacos. Food was very tasty especially with orange sauce. I love their Mexican food. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended it.
