Tapas and starters are the sharing end of the Las Iguanas menu: small plates, wings, quesadillas and dips ordered across the table, in the Latin way — the idea being that everyone tries a little of everything rather than each person ordering one large plate. This page lists the full section: 30 tapas and starters listings, 27 with prices and 3 shown without a price where no reliable figure was found.

Prices run from £3.95 for Chips & Dips (V) to £25.00 for the Three Way Wings (21 wings, 3 ways) sharing plate, and most small plates sit between £5.25 and £9.50. Good starting points include DIY Nachos (£6.25), Chicken Quesadilla (£6.75) and Sautéed King Prawns in Lemon & Chilli Butter (£9.50) — named here as examples of the range, not as ranked favourites. The section also covers five quesadilla dishes and five wing dishes, so there is room to mix plates across the section.

From tapas, the natural next step is a larger plate from Mains, Fajitas or Burritos & Enchiladas, or something to drink from Drinks & Cocktails. The full menu puts this section in context with every other category.

Tapas & Starters Menu with Prices

Perfect for sharing, the Latin way — small plates, wings, quesadillas and dips to start the meal.

Prices vary by restaurant and are not set nationally. Figures checked across public listings, aggregator menus and per-location restaurant menus (October 2026). Confirm in the restaurant for your location.

Tapas Prices & Dietary Notes

Twelve dishes on this page carry the vegetarian (V) marker: DIY Nachos, Brazilian Beach Cheese, Mushroom Quesadilla, Cheese & Mango Empanadas, Fiesta Ensalada, Chips & Dips, Corn Rib Elotes, Pão De Queijo, Padrón Peppers, Patatas Bravas, Black Bean & Cheese Quesadillas and Halloumi & Red Pepper Salsa Taco. Only one dish carries both vegan (VG) and gluten-free (GF) markers: Fiesta Ensalada (£5.95). For full allergen information, see the Allergens & Nutrition page — and always confirm with the restaurant, since recipes and markers can change.

Two prices are marked EST: Mushroom Quesadilla (£6.25 EST) and Brazilian Fried Chicken (£7.50 EST). EST means the figure is an estimate where public listings disagree, not a published restaurant price. Three listings — Ensalada Asada, Gambas and Jalapeño Poppers — show no price (—) because no reliable figure was found for them; they are listed for completeness rather than left out. All prices on this page were checked across public listings, aggregator menus and per-location restaurant menus in October 2026, and they vary by restaurant and by dine-in vs delivery, so the figure at your table may differ. The Menu Prices guide gives the same checked-price picture across the whole menu.

How to Order Tapas for Sharing

A common guide for sharing is 2–3 dishes per person, but this is a general guide, not a restaurant rule — order to your appetite. A practical way to use it is to mix across the section rather than ordering several of the same kind: start with something for dipping, such as Chips & Dips (£3.95), add a quesadilla or a wings plate, and finish with a lighter plate such as Fiesta Ensalada (£5.95) or Padrón Peppers (£5.25).

Tapas also work as a first round before a main course — see Mains and Fajitas — or alongside Sides & Dips and Drinks & Cocktails. If the table would rather fix the bill in advance, the Meal Deals page lists set bundles built around burritos, burgers and mains, and Lunch Deals covers the daytime offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tapas dishes should I order?

A common guide for sharing is 2–3 dishes per person, but this is a general guide, not a restaurant rule — order to your appetite.

Are there vegetarian tapas options?

Yes. Several tapas dishes are marked (V) on the menu, including DIY Nachos, Brazilian Beach Cheese, Mushroom Quesadilla and Cheese & Mango Empanadas.

Do tapas prices vary by restaurant?

Yes. All prices on this page are checked across public listings (October 2026) and vary by restaurant and by dine-in vs delivery.

What is the cheapest tapas dish?

Chips & Dips (V) at £3.95 is the lowest priced dish on this page, followed by Padrón Peppers (V) at £5.25.

What is the most expensive tapas dish?

Three Way Wings (21 wings, 3 ways) at £25.00 — a sharing plate of 21 wings, well above the next highest price, Sautéed King Prawns in Lemon & Chilli Butter at £9.50.

Are there vegan or gluten-free tapas options?

On the markers shown here, only one dish carries both: Fiesta Ensalada (£5.95), marked (V, GF, VG). No other tapas dish on this page carries a (VG) or (GF) marker, so for anything beyond these markers, check the Allergens & Nutrition page and confirm with the restaurant.

Why are two tapas prices marked EST?

Mushroom Quesadilla (£6.25 EST) and Brazilian Fried Chicken (£7.50 EST) are estimates: public listings disagree on those two dishes, so the figure shown is the best available estimate rather than a confirmed restaurant price. Confirm in the restaurant before you rely on it.

Can I pair tapas with a meal deal or drinks?

Tapas are listed as starters, and the set bundles on this site are built around burritos, burgers and mains — see the Meal Deals page for the bundles themselves. For drinks to go with a sharing table, see Drinks & Cocktails.
