Details

Once upon a time, while vacationing somewhere off the coast of Mexico, a band of would-be "restaurateurs" were caught in a storm and shipwrecked on a small tropical island. Left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a few barrels of margaritas they managed to salvage, they soon discovered that they were not alone. Could it be a dream? Here was an island populated by Iguanas just as human as ourselves, with the exception of the green scaly complexions and long tails. The Iguana People had created a mystical land of fun and leisure and accepted the castaways with open arms! At the center of their culture were wonderful gathering places that offered food, drink, and merriment. Although these places had no names, the Iguana's fondness for the rescued margaritas, especially with salted rims, soon gave way to the nickname of "Salty Iguanas."

Sadly the day came when it was time to leave this oasis of pleasure. The Iguanas helped build a seaworthy vessel to send their friends safely on their way. Before they left, the castaways managed to acquire the franchise rights to the gathering places in exchange for the remaining barrels of margaritas. In memory of their new found friends the restaurateurs name their franchise "The Salty Iguana." And so ends the tale of "The Salty Iguana" with our promise never to disclose the location of this beautiful, mysterious land, somewhere off the coast of Mexico.

I would like to know if anyone has been there recently that thinks the food is good... I was there last weekend and I got chicken tacos, and the meat was sooooo dry it crumbled, and I ordered it with no lettuce or tomato and got both on it. Also weirdly even though the chicken meat was so dry my tortilla was super soggy so the thing was not good and I couldn't even eat it. The margarita was good though. This was only the second time in 6 years I have eaten here because it was not good the first time either, but I decided it was time to try again. Yeah, its not gonna happen again.

Their food is gross. I have been to that place 4-6 times, the first two (god, around 04'-05') times the food was good but the last few years it tastes (rhymes with pit) and don't get me going on their salsa. That junk tastes like Ortega and that is not a complement. My advice, go for the drinks and watch a KU game, if you go to eat, have a cold so the nasty taste of the food does not come through as well and get home to a bathroom quick as all that grease will go right through you!!!

I went here for the first time and loved it! This is different because I normally hate mexican food but after eating here I wanted to eat it everyday! Plus, the decorating of the place is really neat and fun and the service is terrific! I highly suggest this for any occasion.

My family and I absolutely love this place! I get their Spinach and Cheese enchilada a lot, also the spicy burrito con carne is spicy and great. They've got a good kid's menu, and plenty of low carb choices as well.
