Been here twice and the first time wasn't that great but the second time was worst. Service is good at the bar but chips weren't warm and tasted straight out the Costco bag. First trip got the pork carnitas which were tender but no flavoring. But this was much better than the Chimichanga. Only could finish half of it. The rice and beans are better. If you don't want a fancy mixed drink and can handle something simple like a whiskey and coke u found tyro pours to be heavy which I like. Only reason they are getting two stars. Totally irritated I wasted my appetite on this place.

Love the sauce that comes with the fresh tortillas and fajitas were very good but if you're looking for a great coctail this is not the stop! I was craving a mojito especially after seeing the drink menu featuring a photo of a traditional looking clear mojito with lime and fresh mint mottled in a rocks glass. What was served looked to be the color of a long island ice tea with a sprinkling of dried mint floating on the top. There was no garnish either. It was very obvious on taste that it was a poor quality, too sweet mojito mix with too much soda. It was literally the most unappealing drink I have ever seen or tasted. A Mexican establishment should be truly ashamed to serve that!

This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite local spots but after tonight i want to know what happened within management that caused the entire establishment to go downhill. Service was beyond terrible -- an hour was lost attempting to have dinner. The quality of food is not what it once was either. The worst part was ordering a banana burrito to go only to get it home to discover it was frozen, drown in whipped cream, missing the cinnamon & sugar tortilla as well as the chocolate. Every other time I've had it -- its hot, in a yummy shell, drizzled in chocolate & caramel with a touch of whip cream. I'm embarrassed that i brought out of town company to this establishment.

This location has recently undergone massive renovations to the interior and exterior. They have also rolled out a brand new menu. The renovated interior is warm and comfortable with tall backed leather booths and polished wood surroundings. The new menu still has many of the old staples like my favorite, the enchiladas suzias with verde sauce. However, it also has dishes that can be customized like nachos, burritos, and combination meals. I found the new menu to be refreshing and innovative. My very picky boyfriend enjoyed being able to customize exactly which ingredients he wanted in his meal. If you haven't been to Senor Iguanas since they renovated I recommend stopping by. Their new menu has certainly raised the bar for Mexican cuisine in Southern Indiana.

Seriously, do not eat here. The food is inedible and the alcohol swill. I had the Tacos Traditionales--carne asada, al pastor and chicken. Terrible. God I wish I had not done that. Anything is better than this place. Oh, and the flying bugs....not so much.

The spicy pork tacos meal is where it's at! Tender spicy pork atop double corn tortillas topped with onions and cilantro and a side of tomatillo sauce...I want more just thinking about it.

A group of 5 of us had a very nice meal here. The portions were decent, the quality of the food was very good and the service was fast and friendly. The size of the beer mug is amazing....HUGE....and the beer was good too. If back in the area again, I'd definitely come here again.

Not great. The service was fine, but the food wasn't really tasty. I got a beef tostada with rice and beans for lunch, which only cost $4.99, but the rice had no flavor, and the tostada was very lackluster. The chips were fresh and the salsa was okay but I've had better.

This is NOT authentic Mexican food by any means and the management is very poor. I am pretty easy to please but have to give this place my honest review. I love Mexican food and know what a tortilla should taste like. Our waiter was completely negligent. The tortilla for my taco was so stale it was inedible. The filling was ok so I wanted to try it on a new tortilla. The manager and our waiter avoided us. A different waiter finally came over to help us. It took forever but our waiter finally came back with my new food in a to-go container as I asked because it took so long to get helped we were ready to walk out but he had the the bag tipped so my food was messed up. My husband's enchilladas were just ok. Fairly bland. The manager who talked to other tables didn't stop at ours. We were given a small discount but very little in the way of an oppology for the poor service and the old stale tortilla. I am being generous by giving this place 2 stars.

Senor Iguana's has seen better days. At least I'm hoping that it isn't standing proudly in all its glory. The restaurant looks faded and sad as though it is slowly giving way to the tons of exhaust from the highway off ramp just outside its doors. I had to sling my foot under my backside to prop me up to the table as the springs in my side of the booth had given up the ghost. Standard for Mexican restaurants, a basket of chips (of the thicker tortilla variety) arrives promptly at your table along with a bowl of salsa and a small dish of white sauce. I still don't know what the white stuff was, but it tasted like Essence de la Cool Ranch Doritos. The entree's were alright. I had the Especial la Casa hoping for the best. The steak was good though fatty, the chicken dry. The vegetables (cactus, onion and tomato) had excellent flavor, as did the beans with more spice than I'm used to; very tasty. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very cheerful, polite and helpful, came by to check on us a number of times, though not excessively.

This place used to be the spot! Ever since the renovation and I'm guessing new ownership, it's completely changed. The food tastes different not nearly as good as it used to be. The service is not as good and today when I went, will be my last time. I'm over it. It took forever to get our drinks and the restaurant was pretty much empty, when we asked for more chips and salsa (because the salsa was in a little butter cup), it took him 10 minutes to bring it. Food took forever when it arrived, my soup was warm not hot, my husbands quesadilla was not good, and they charged me a dollar for a side of fresh jalapeño w/o telling me.. Really a jalapeño?? So WACK, not going back.

I have never written a negative review and feel bad about doing so... BUT I have no choice. I ordered the taco and burrito combo. I did ask if i could have shredded beef and was informed it was not an option. What was delivered to me was some form of poor quality ground beef saturated in some form of sauce. (Think sloppy joe in a tortilla). I attempted a bite and was repulsed. Other issues... The benches in the booths are either ripped with stuffing showing or falling apart. The server tho nice was extremely inefficient and not paying attention. Requested silverware 3x and had to repeatedly ask for the check. I gave the restaurant one star b/c the salsa was fabulous. I love fresh cilantro in salsa. If you are looking for a cold beer and salsa give it a try but avoid the beef tacos.

Try it, you'll like it! I expected average Tex Mex chain restaurant food, and was surprised to discover that Senior Iguana's is "authentic" Mexican! The salsa was homemade, the chips fresh and the food was above average. They say eat where the locals eat, and the restaurant was filled with local Hispanic residents. In my experience, if the ethnic restaurant has people of that ethnicity eating there, I've found a winner.... and I will be back to Senior Iguana's!

It was.... okay. Went with a group. The salsa had a nice flavor, the "white salsa" they give you is fine, but I still can't really get into dipping tortilla chips into what is essentially ranch dressing. There's just something wrong about it. I ordered the arroz con pollo, remembering a dish full or cheese sauce that I love at El Camino Real in Plymouth, Indiana. Though cheese was included in the dish on the menu, I didn't see any stringy, gooey stuff on my dish. Even without it, it was good, but the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots in their vegetable mix really throw me off. I'd be happy with just the onions and peppers, thank you. The hubs ordered a mole chicken dish, and got chicken enchilladas with mole sauce. He didn't say anything, and liked the enchilladas, and we were charged for the $3 less enchillada dish, so no harm there really. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. The service was nice, and the atmosphere was fine. I can't see myself getting back here anytime soon, with so many other Mexican places closer.

mucho gusto! I love everything that I've eaten here! best chicken taco's ever. enchiladas are great. fajitas are good. love their queso and salsa as well. great prices too. I have been going here since they opened. it's the original location, now there are -I think- two other locations. since I'm a regular the wait staff knows me and they are great! always nice, and always attentive. always smiling and saying hello when we come in =]

This is the best Mexican food I have ever had. Anyone whom I have ever taken here has enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service.. They have been around for 4 years and during that time the food and service have not dropped off at all. I enjoy the steak burrito and also the nachos supreme both dishes will fill you up as they are large portions. There is a lunch menu with portions that are more than enough and a dinner menu with even larger portions. The service is great and staff are friendly. This place gets my vote and if you try it I am sure it will get yours.

Good, fresh salsa - could be a bit spicier. I sat at the bar, and service was a bit slow, but not annoyingly so. The Chili Colorado was excellent - dark red, with deep, rich flavor. Would definitely come here again.

Excellent service. Chipotle pork borrito was flavorful tender moist and huge portion.could of shared it. Carne asada tacos perfect spice not overpowering. Would of preferred to have corn tortillas instead of flour. Ask for sour cream to complete the meal. Very attentive waiters . Just north of Louisville on Louis and Clark highway. Great food

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
