Food is below average, service is an absolute nightmare, who cares about ambiance when the experience is so bad

Hilton stay was amazing but Iguana cafe sucks, staff is very slow and not many servers, expect to wait at least 30 min to be seated for breakfast when half of the tables are not filled, 10 more minutes to order and after that wait your unwelcoming lady hostess will mess up your simple order.

I’m seeing some poor reviews for this place but can’t speak to any huge issues as I was there for breakfast and they seem to be executing that well. Eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and such has been consistent on multiple visits. The one problem I had was with a steak in a steak and eggs platter where it was drastically undercooked. I can’t help but wonder if the staff is more comfortable with breakfast items than lunch items given the experience of others.Service was top notch every time, and my steak situation was handled well.

Excellent place to eat! Didn't break the bank and the fresh food was fantastic.

The server Jeremy Valencia was extremely attentive and gracious. Breakfast was delicious, hot and prompt. The ambiance quiet and calm for a resort and casino experience.

Food is mediocre. Ordered the French dip and it was way too salty! Tacos were gross, Spanish rice was hard and cold. Service was good, ordered at the bar and took to our room. The bartender was really sweet, older lady with black hair. She's always there. Bar was clean.

This restaurant is ok...I was visiting the area for work and the moment I woke up (on 15 Oct 2023), I was starving for some brunch food. I didn't feel like leaving the hotel, so I decided to eat at this restaurant. I checked in with the restaurant hostess and I was informed that it was going to be about a 15-20 min wait time. Although, I had just signed in, it didn't take the entire duration as anticipated.When I sat down, it didn't take too long before my server took my order which was highly appreciative because I needed some coffee immediately and I was starving. After I received my food, the service went slightly downhill from there. I didn't see my server for a while, nor did this person ask if I needed a refill of coffee or even my water. The only time I was asked about a coffee refill is when I was finished with my meal and ready for the check. The service from the time I arrived at the restaurant, all the way to when I received my food was great - it was just unfortunate for me that it stopped there.Coming from Las Vegas, NV, we have so many restaurant options with several top-rated businesses, so at times it's difficult to determine just how good any other restaurants are outside of Las Vegas...but the food quality here is decent. I ordered the Three Egg (White) Omelet with tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, bacon, and red/green sauces. I was also in the mood for pancakes, so I ordered one pancake on the side. My omelet was decent...I wish they didn't smother my omelet so much with the sauces because I couldn't really taste the ingredients that well. Although, the sauces did taste good, it was just too much for me. The pancake was decent as well; I thought it tasted a little too sweet (maybe my tastebuds weren't working that well in the morning). All-in-all, the food quality here is adequate - nothing major that stood out.The cost-to-quantity/quality ratio is reasonable. I know some may be concerned with the prices of the menu items (because I was a little disconcerted of the $7 cost for my one pancake), but after considering inflation and cost of goods and services overall, I concluded that prices here are respectable. Aside from my up and down experience, I still recommend this restaurant to others, whether you're staying at Buffalo Thunder or not.

I don’t mind driving so far for the best chilaquiles I have ever had. One thing about NM is clear, chile is life. Clearly represented in the chilaquiles here. Christmas style was my way to go and it was perfect. The flavor and heat were on point, yes heat. The adage about the kitchen plays out here, stay out if you can’t handle it. A true pride in the representative power of NM’s chile culture is here. Disfrútalo!!!

BEWARE! I believe my husband and I got food poisoning from the loaded nachos. The cheese sauce looked off in color, we should have known. I have never been that sick.

This was my first time ever eating here and I actually thought the food was good! I got the tacos with steak meat which came with beans and rice, all tasted great. The meat wasn't chewy and just perfect. What I did not enjoy was the rude male waiter I had. He was really snobby and inconsiderate. I was talking to him and he just left halfway through me talking with no care in the world... I felt awkward after that.... I had also asked for a house margarita and they forgot to bring it so I asked him about it and he rudely said " I didn't hear you ask for one" in a really annoyed tone of voice and then walked off quietly to make the margarita... I've never had a waiter be this snobby towards me, I honestly didn't feel like tipping him after experiencing how awful his interactions were... The host that sat us down was friendly, idk what my waiters issue was...

Food was damn good. Red chili was delicious. Would come here again when we come back for anything. Service was fast and it wasn't that busy.

We went to breakfast at the Iguana Cafe in Buffalo Thunder and loved it. Yes, there was a wait to be seated, but after that, we were very impressed. The wait staff was wonderful and cool under the pressure of having to serve a packed dining room with several large parties. Our waitress, Jasmine, was nothing short of amazing. She took our orders quickly and with a very friendly demeanor. She attended to all of our requests in the same warm manner. It was great to be taken care of by the Iguana Cafe team. We will be back!

For a family breakfast we went to the Iguana Café and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. The food was delicious with very good portions, but most importantly the service was amazing! It was unbelievable how great our server Jimmy was. He was extremely busy, but still made us feel like we were his only guests. Our daughter has celiac and therefore can’t eat gluten. Jimmy went out of his way to coordinate with the kitchen staff to accommodate her needs. Most restaurants will certainly help, but Jimmy added an additional level of accommodation and made us feel comfortable with the order. Thank you!!!

Excellent breakfast burrito with green chile sauce. The portion was generous and tasted great! Service was excellent as well.
