Café Iguana

Before the Mexican wave hit our shores, there was Café Iguana. Opened at the turn of the millennium at a spot by the Singapore River, the food here keeps its authentically Mexican. Try the grilled chicken quesadillas ($16) to start, and for a fuller meal, go for the red snapper al pastor two-ways ($34) which sources its snapper from the local fishery Ah Hua Kelong; or the chipotle prawn chimichanga ($28) stuffed with aromatic cilantro rice. Get on with the drinks programme too. The restaurant’s famed Tommy’s Margarita (from $10) comes in 10 flavours for you to choose from, and we recommend getting a jug to share with friends. Else, the Iguanarita ($18) – the joint’s signature margarita made with 100% blue agave tequila and Brewerkz draft beer – is another wise choice.
