User Comments:

Went for 2nd time to Los Iguanas, had to send back jackfruit tacos due to porkrind stuck on dish. Waitress said she had no clue how that got there, passive agressive chef?, as there were no dishes up with that ingredient. She took back and credited the bill. The other order, including hibiscus salt Jicama exotic radish salad, was old, pre-prepped so early thatnit was wilted. Never going back again. Horrid.
