Iconos Gastro Cantina

I love to come here, sit at the bar, and order the queso. The queso fundido is the best queso on lyndale, I’ve lived here for 8 years. The cocktails are all unique and flavorful, with beautiful presentations. I also like the agua chile, it’s a little spicy so ask for mild if you are sensitive. Friendly staff and good music, which is sometimes live.

✨ Brunch level: FABULOUS ✨ Bottomless passion fruit mimosas in hand, sequins in my sightline, and zero chance of holding a deep conversation because the queens were bringing the house down. 💃🍾 Iconos Uptown’s (monthly) drag brunch was pure joy — glitter, laughter, and the kind of over-the-top entertainment that makes you forget about your phone (well, except for a few videos). 🪩 10/10 recommend for anyone who loves their eggs with a side of sparkle. 🥂💖

I had a great first dining experience here yesterday, and will be going back for sure! Great service, food and such a chill atmosphere. The chips/guac/salsa was so great as well as the birria tacos we had! Also the Hibiscus mocktail was one of the best mocktails I have ever had!

Great food, prompt service, cool restaurant, good music (but too loud, I don’t like to shout while I eat!). We got the guacamole (fantastic chips) which was nummy, Queso Fundido, also delish, so-so (expensive) coffee, to start, then the Iconos breakfast (scrambled eggs, with bacon, fried potatoes, French toast, all OK) and the Chilaquiles Nobles with skirt steak, which was very good. 4.7 overall, knocking off a bit for the LOUD music….it’s too much for brunch, wait ‘til the sun goes down…..

Showed up for happy hour on Sunday. It started at 1:00 p.m. they had a DJ who is mixing decent music, but it was considerably too loud for the speaker system to handle with lots of crackling. When the DJ was done, the atmosphere became a little bit more pleasant and easier to take in without all the noise. All in all a favorable experience
