It was post eclipse on our drive back to Tennessee from Conway Arkansas when hunger traversed a path of totality in our stomachs. Forest City was fast approaching, so we pulled up Google and discovered Iguanas Mexican restaurant. I guess that it was appropriate that we chose Mexican food for our dinner fare. After seeing the corona of the sun, it's only fitting that a Corona beer be ordered. But I didn't. I ordered a Dos XX instead. Corona is Mexican Budwieser. We were seated immediately and presented with menus displaying food choices printed top to bottom. And I mean top to bottom! Bring your glasses for there's so many selections from which to choose crammed onto that laminated card stock. My eye managed to ferret out a promising entree. The Burrito Grande. Steak, onions, peppers, beans, cheese, served with guacamole and sour cream on the side. Rice also came with it. When it arrived at our table, I was a little underwhelmed as to its size. Grande, it was not. Maybe it was Grande to the person who served it to me, for he was small in stature. But to a tall, strapping young senior citizen, it fell short of being grandiose in size. However, in taste, it was. So I'll give them a pass on the description. It was deliciously tasty. The grandkids had tacos and scrumptious looking enchiladas. Those left mere rings on the plates after they were done. I think that they enjoyed theirs as much as I did mine. Don't be dissuaded by its location. Iguanas is in a very nondescript strip mall. It's more deserving of a building of its own. But who am I to guess. I have no idea what rental rates are in the hamlet of Forrest City. For all I know, it may be prime real estate for the region. Go there and enjoy. They even have a small store inside where one can find an array of all things south of the border. Quick Tip: When searching for the restaurant across the vastness of the strip mall parking lot, look low for their sign. At the time of this reviews writing the sign over the restaurant looked like it was lost in a windstorm. No worry, though. The food will blow you away.

We really liked everything. I got tacos de lengua. They were really good and not dried out at all. The beans and rice are basic and a little bland but that is almost expected at this point in Mexican restaurants. I really liked the green salsa. We would eat here again if we were passing through. The service was perfect and they have both English and Spanish speaking servers. The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting.

What more could a girl ask for!! HOT WHITE QUESO, Fresh Chips & a tasty salsa!!! Great little stop off the Highway. Staff was quick, accurate order & food was very good! Simple Choices made by our family, but looked like several great dishes!! #authentic #ambiance it swept us away to Mexico for a short while! ENJOY this little Gem during your travels!!

Excellent food and service here. Received complimentary chips and salsa. Had the chicken fajita salad, chile relleno, and chicken tacos. All delish. Would order the same again as our favorites but many dishes to choose from on menu and reasonable prices. The waitress and server were very nice also. Had great personalities.

Mexican food in northeast Arkansas is a risk (for a Texan), but this place was one of the few restaurants open on Sunday evening, so we gave is a try. The food was actually very good, albeit with a white cheese sauce on their enchiladas. Upon review, they did offer a chili-type enchilada sauce, but the white sauce was good, just different than I'm used to. Whatever you order, get some soft corn tortillas. They are fresh, homemade, and some of the best I've had. No margaritas, beer and wine only, but other than that, great!
