If you are about to drop after a long day of shopping in the UK’s biggest shopping centre, Las Iguanas can be your saviour. It’s a great place for a spot of lunch to refuel for an afternoon of some more shopping. With panoramic views overlooking the London Stadium (the Olympic one), you can reminisce about the summer of 2012 while you enjoy cuisine from all over Latin America.
To get you started, choose from its exciting list of starters and enjoy them tapas style. Go for the cheese and mango empanada, dadinhos – crispy Brazilian cheese cubes – or chicken wings. If you’re extra hungry, go for all three.
For mains, you have a lot to choose from. Try the Cuban sandwich, a selection of different burritos or the Peruvian truffle mac and cheese – a tasty spin on the classic dish – or go for the blazing bird jerk chicken with your choice of spicy sauce.
If you’re one for a lunchtime tipple, head over to the bar area and enjoy two-for-one cocktails all afternoon at its Big Island bar. Go for the Caribbean Clover Club, Gin Smash or Pom Pom Patron. If you’re in the mood for sharing, the tropical fishbowl or zombie skull will keep you busy for a while.
If you have the kids with you (and therefore won’t be able to make it into the bar), the kids menu is good enough to keep them occupied while you enjoy your food in peace. They can chose from chicken crunchies, tacos or calamares with two sides and a dessert of fruit, jelly or churros.
Whether you decide to go to Las Iguanas to recover after a long day of shopping, treat the kids or enjoy an afternoon beverage at the bar, this restaurant and its many exciting cuisines will be sure to help you discover something new.
