Las Iguanas, on the Boardwalk, intu Lakeside, has just launched its new winter menu

There’s 12 delicious new dishes alongside classic favourites like fajitas (which I can personally vouch are a little bit of heaven on a plate), enchiladas, and its award-winning burgers. And with 14 new cocktails on the drinks menu to try, it would be a pity not to make a little stop off there for a post-shop natter.

Which is exactly what me and one of my BFFs did last night – making the most of the two-for-one cocktails (all day, every day, FYI.)

But what’s the new menu all about?

A spokesman for Las Iguanas said: “The menu has been carefully curated by a team of highly skilled and passionate chefs who bring to life unique flavours from across Latin America using quality ingredients that are lovingly cooked from scratch.

“New dishes include Peruvian Smoked Salmon Tiradito, smoked salmon dressed in delicious tiger’s milk, a dressing made with lime, ginger and Amarillo chilli which will tantalise the taste buds, and Copacabana Chicken, spiced masa fried chicken with a spicy Amarillo aioli. For the main event, try the Brazilian Carne de Sol – slow-cooked salt cured beef top rib served with cassava mash (a buttery manioc root mash), cassava crisps, winter greens and a rich beef and caramelised onion jus.

“Las Iguanas are Vegetarian Society approved so of course there are plenty of unique exciting vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from. New to the menu are Vegan Nachos with non-dairy cheese, as well as the delicious smoked chipotle Pulled Jackfruit Burrito, featuring 2018’s most trending ingredient, and colourfully presented in a beetroot tortilla.”

So there you have it. And with the wintery nights not long away, this Latin American spot will definitely bring some sunshine into your shopping trip – whatever the weather is doing outsides…
