    Good but expensive food, not authentically Brazilian.I enjoyed the "Gaucho Burger" – it is not inspired by Brazilian or "gaúcho" gastronomy, but it was big and tasty, something difficult to find in Cambridge; the fries were a little bit hard though. The burger and fried chicken were quite spicy, despite being labeled as "Brazilian" food (i.e., no spicy). I confess I might have overlooked the menu regarding this. Overall, despite these points, the food was plenty and good.I found the caipirinha drink small, with a very small quantity of cachaça and without enough sugar... Considering the price, I was expecting more.Chicken and sea food (including shrimps) are fried in the same oil, which means that sea food and shrimp allergy restriction may extend to the fried chicken as well. Unfortunately, we were only told about it after the chicken was delivered, and one of us couldn't enjoy the chicken because of this.The ambiance was nice, especially near the window, and the view was really charming. We were first allocated to a table with low light (to the point where it wasn't comfortable to read the menu) and with a mold smell. We asked to change the table and the new place was enchanting.Staff was gentle and efficient. One of the ladies was especially helpful and solicitous. There was a waiter robot (yes, a robot) that didn't convince me of its necessity. I liked that I was able to reserve a table on the website, but I didn't get why I couldn't reserve a table directly on Google Maps (earlier date was the next day) despite half the place being available all night.We found the place pricey, especially considering all the concerns presented. The place and food overall is quite nice, but I think the price range sets higher expectations. Don't forget to claim your student discount (% on food).Dietary restrictions: Fried chicken and sea food (including shrimps) are fried in the same oil.

    I visited this place yesterday to meet up with a friend and celebrate Christmas, and we had such a great time! The -for- cocktails were delicious, and the nachos we shared were the perfect snack. One of the highlights was taking a fun picture in their Photo Booth—it added such a nice touch to our evening. The atmosphere of the bar was fantastic, and we both agreed we’d definitely come back again!

    Las Iguanas in Cambridge is a great spot for a casual break after exploring the city. We stopped by for a quick refreshment, and the atmosphere was just what we needed after a long walk. The restaurant has a vibrant, relaxed ambiance with a colorful and welcoming interior that adds to the overall Latin American theme.Although we only had shandy, the service was prompt and friendly, making us feel right at home. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly mixed, and served quickly. The menu is quite extensive, offering a range of Latin American-inspired dishes that looked tempting, and I’d definitely consider coming back to try them next time.The location is also ideal, especially if you're touring around Cambridge. It's conveniently situated near several city attractions, so it’s an easy stop for a break or a full meal. The atmosphere inside was lively but not overwhelming, making it a great place to relax and recharge.Overall, Las Iguanas in Cambridge is worth a visit, whether you're looking for a drink, a meal, or just a cozy place to rest. The service was efficient, the environment pleasant, and based on our brief visit, it seems like a fun spot to enjoy more of their menu. We'll likely return to explore what else they have to offer!

    Rosie was our waitress and she was fantastic. She was running around covering so many tables and still managed to give fantastic service.Our food and drinks took ages. Thankfully Rosie sorted a lot.
