It has some the best Mexican food away from Mexico, its loud, fast, always full. The food is amazingly good. We found this place 4 yrs ago when staying at Swissotel Merchant Court, and had to go back and see if it was still there. It was, and still is great.

Standard mexican food but a fun, informal, slightly loud setting. Good for a group of people.

It's very good and delicious with a large variety of starters, so share lots of starters with you're family. I recommend the Seafood Soppes.

Cafe iguana is one of the better places to eat in Clarke quay. Portions are generous and the food certainly packs a punch! Excellent margaritas

I've been to Singapore on several occasions and I always make the Cafe Iguana a must visit. Maybe for a taste of something familiar..but the food is great. A pitcher of Iguanarita's goes down well...but make it happy hour for a cheaper drink. Nothing in Singapore "western foor" is cheap, so take advantage of happy hour. Located on the Singapore... More

This restaurant is nice. Atmosphere good, a bit crowded and seating is sometimes shared which for us from the States is not normal. Margaritas were very good.

Customer service I give it 10/10. My order was taken quickly, food served in good time, wait staff asked me if... More

Extensive menu with plenty to choose from. Food is tasty and decent sized portions. Big restaurant with plenty of outside tables on the evening. Pretty expensive though although this is normal for the Clarke Quay area. Worth a visit if you like Mexican and spicy foods.
