Las Iguanas Torquay

About Us

WELCOME TO LAS IGUANAS, YOUR TICKET TO CELEBRATING LIFE THE LATIN AMERICAN WAY.

We started small in a quiet Bristol street in 1991 and became something of a local institution, introducing boldly spiced Latin American food cooked from scratch and a heavyweight menu of premium cocktails. We added intoxicating Latin rhythms and the rich colour palette of the southern hemisphere to the mix and that’s still true of Las Iguanas today. We’re still independent-spirited, with familiar faces running the show because we love what we do.

MENUS

We’re passionate about sharing the authentic flavour and spirit of Latin America. Our travels have taken us to some of the most exciting kitchens in the world, from the beaches of Rio to the Amazon rainforest, from urban Buenos Aires to bustling Mexican markets where we’ve discovered delicious dishes cooked from amazing ingredients. That's what we endeavour to bring back with us to Las Iguanas. Our skilled chefs cook from scratch making our classic salsas, sauces and curries by hand each day, creating your food with love and care just like the cooks we've met on our travels.

Our Ethos - Our ethos is refreshingly simple. We want to celebrate the flavours, pleasure and joy of Latin America every day – in a place that lives and breathes Latin. We source responsibly and have been with some of our suppliers for many years.   We proudly support Latin American businesses like our cachaça partners, Magnifica de Faria, a family business who grow our very own sugar cane which is mixed only with local spring water during distillation.

We are also proud to work with grass roots charities throughout Mexico, Central and Latin America through our partnership with the LATA Foundation, alongside a number of charities at home including End Youth Homelessness, Women’s Aid, Orchid Male Cancer charity and A World With Friends.
