Tonight I attended an informal tweetup at the Iguana Grill and met a number of new people. The food was very tasty, and Darby absolutely LOVED the salsa. Be forewarned, however, that it is not what I'd call a "traditional" Mexican restaurant, so don't go there expecting that so much as wanting to trying something a little different. If you're open to that, you'll love it.
I have to also say that I'm a bit particular about my chips. I'll eat about anything, but I only LOVE the chips at fewer than a handful of establishments. Well, I think I might have to add the Iguana chips to my list. And not only are they quite tasty, but they give you a very large bowl, so when you have several folks at the table you don't find yourself low on chips after just a few trips to the bowl.
I'd been wanting to visit the Iguana for some time (I pass it nearly every day), but it always seems very packed, particularly on "Taco Tuesday". Today was no exception. We were there for something like ninety minutes and I swear there were people waiting for at least sixty of those minutes for seats. Fortunately there is ample parking in the vicinity.
Right next door to the Iguana is Sara Sara Cupcakes, another tasty local establishment, which we patronized.
While I was very pleased with SSC, in terms of cupcake varieties (though I didn't make a particularly creative choice -- strawberry -- due to a craving), yumminess, and atmosphere, I'd have to say that the previously visited Cuppies and Joe edges out Sara Sara in terms of "coziness" and entertainment value. If you're just jonesing for some cuppies and don't plan on hanging out, by all means head over to SSC. If you plan on taking in a book or some music with your snack, C&J is it.
