★★★★☆ 4.0 Levi Davis · Jan 2026

Haven’t tried La Iguana in a long time and decided to swing in for breakfast tacos. Hostess said I could sit anywhere so I found myself a table and was promptly given a menu. I already knew what I wanted so I ordered one bacon, egg, bean and cheese along with a chorizo, egg, bean and cheese and a sweet tea to wash it down with. It took maybe 10 minutes to get my food. The homemade flour tortillas were spot on, they definitely didn’t skimp out on the size which I loved. Bacon was in strips compared to being mixed in with egg but still a very good taco. They have a red and green salsa, the green had perfect amount of spice as the red had a too much of a tomato taste for me. As of this posting it is my new favorite taco spot in Portland, shout out to Leon for being an excellent server and alw

This hidden gem is a great place for a hearty Mexican breakfast. The service from our server was great. She was very attentive and polite. The host was very polite and greeted us with a beautiful smile. Thank you.

Pretty good, I think they only had one waitress so everything was taking longer then usual. Food came out in parts, but the tortillas were delicious. Pretty decor though

My wife and I usually eat here to get away from life and the stress. We come for the street tacos. They never fail us on their flavors. The service is always on point. Edit: My previous review was from 3 years ago. I believe they changed their staff and cook. Management as well. The tacos aren't the same. Our meals were kind of bland. We went around 1p.m. I give it a 3.

I love this place! It’s been a few years but the lovely atmosphere and the delicious food is stellar as always. The restaurant (and bathroom) was clean and filled with the wonderful smells of great Mexican food. We were seated and served quickly. Our server, Dulcima, was friendly and courteous. The chips (tasted homemade and fried to perfection) and the salsa (definitely homemade and will light you up) were great. I had the cheese enchilada plate with corn tortillas on the side. Every bite was delicious. The corn tortillas are made here and are thick and wonderful. There are taquerias on every corner in South Texas and most are good enough but La Iguana is so far superior to anywhere else. It is such a comfortable homestyle place and the staff made me feel welcome and happy.
