  I normally avoid going downtown because of the horrible parking situation.  But today, I decided to bite the bullet to give one of the restaurants downtown a try for a quick lunch.  I landed at the Iguana Cafe.  It is not a fancy place.  In fact if they had not had signs in the window with pictures of food, I would have assumed it was just a dive bar.
  
  I decided on the Chicken Burrito with green enchilada sauce.  It was very tasty.  You could taste the heat just a bit, but my no means was it spicy hot.  It was packed full of shredded chicken.  I sat at the bar and was checked on several times by the waitress and the owner.  It was obvious that most of those in the shop were regulars and that is who they cater to.
  
  I thought the price was reasonable for what you got (my experience is that downtown tends to up price for the privilege of being downtown).  I would have liked a side of rice and or beans.  I saw that it was listed under a Side order heading and I would probably do that next time.
  
  I am not bar hopper, so I asked what sodas they had, and she started rattling off the list.  She barely got started when she said RC.  I stopped her because it is my favorite but not common in Tucson.
  
  All in all a fine experience.  This is not a place I would take a date and it is really rough and not impressive, but it was a fine for a quick bite.  I wouldn't mind coming back sometime again for lunch.

  Casual prices, great service, awesome atmosphere. A great place to grab a coffee or beer!

  I stopped in before hitting the museums on Sunday, I wanted a taco ala carte, that's all. The owner/bartender told me no, I could only order the whole complete plate! I had ordered a diet RC, which had a sulphuric, strange taste. The bartender/owner was speaking very vulgar Español, which I speak, to two other customers, obviously high on something. I asked for my drink to go, and he charged me for it, I left, and threw it out! Rude, terrible staff, I won't be back

  We used to be o go to this bar even though it was a tad "different" but tonight we were very disappointed. As soon as we walked on the young lady that was the bar tender was very rude and not willing to service.
  
  We put Mexican music on the jukebox and she told use to turn it down. It was obvious that she was catering to the regulars that went to the bar. Francisco the old bar tender would treat everyone as equal and would let people have have. As someone who lives a block away from this bar I feel that this young lady is very rude and not willing to cater to people who go are willing to pay and stimulate the economics of downtown tucson.

  Stopped in for a quick lunch and I had one of the best tortas of my life. The staff were very friendly and I would return again.
